The WSM finals start in a couple of hours. I predict Mitchell Hooper will be in first place at the end of the day.

Worlds Strongest Man starts today and I am predicting that Brian Shaw will not make the finals this year.

Not sure why I am posting this. Just seems funny.

My name is Katie and I'm a strongwoman. Which is weird to type, as I've always been small and just started in the sport. I tried all kinds of sports growing up, eventually settling on track and field, specializing in the throwing events. I kept throwing all the way through (Division 3) college and even though I was usually the smallest competitor, I used my strength, speed and focused on technique to be competitive. I still hold the hammer throw school record, 12 years after my last season.

My dad has described himself as "a bit of a meathead" and eventually became a personal trainer, so I grew up around strength training. I learned squat/bench/deadlift in middle school and picked up olympic weightlifting when training for track in college. I kept lifting after college because I enjoyed it but occasionally people would ask what I was training for. I used to joke that I was working out because I liked beer a little too much or needed to stay in shape for curling season. Turns out I was just waiting to find strongman.

I'd watched world's strongest man with my dad growing up, but it had never occured to me that there might also be contests for normal sized (or less than normal sized) people until Tim mentioned that I should come try out strongman events on Saturday last summer. I was hooked after about 20 minutes and signed up for my first contest within a week. My favorite part of starting strongman has been meeting the people and experiencing how the community welcomes and encourages each other. I usually train alone, so lifting heavy things with other people who like to lift heavy things has been really fun.
