>> View Grenada's Strongest Man Competition 2011 GalleryWhen word got out about a ‘Strong Man’ competition I instantly knew it would be an interesting Saturday afternoon, and the event most definitely delivered.
It was a gorgeous day but the sun felt like it was taxing us. Things got off to a slow start, crowd-wise but, because it was within walking distance of the Malls and Grand Anse beach, the spectators eventually began streaming in.
The DJ played all the usual hip-hop, soca and dancehall bangers. All edited, of course. After all, it was a family-style crowd. Nonetheless, he did a great job of keeping it clean but not dropping the ball on the vibes.
Can’t forget the free snack samples handed out by one of the sponsors, that was a nice touch. I must admit though, it’s been a while since I’ve felt this ‘unfit’ but I doubt I was the only one.
There were Three Grenadian finalist and One Trinidadian and man, did these Guys put on a show! From tossing around 600 pound tires pulling a 10 ton truck!
Dumbfounded onlookers were treated to the ultimate display of testosterone and the “ooh’s and ah’s” were testament.
So much, infact that even though there was food and a well-stocked bar, the spectacle was simply too distracting to acknowledge hunger. For the jealous and/or brave, there was even a spectator event (of which I didn’t partake).
All-in-all it was a little bit different but in a good way; good music and a nice mellow, mixed crowd. TJJ’s definitely looking forward to another one of these. -TallGlassAhJuice
