Author: On 23.6.2019 in Litovel took place a really big and by our standards amazing holiday. 2000 fans of strength sports came to see the strongman competition WORLD GRAND PRIX U105. The competition was in the spirit and memory of Gustav Frištenský, who was one of our best wrestlers and strongman of all time. He not only made the town of Litovel famous, but also the Czech Republic!
Strongmen sweated blood in the beautiful grounds of Litovel brewery, which tries to remind the values and legacy of Gustav !
In front of the spectators fought 11 strongest men of the U105kg category who accepted the invitation. Jiri Tkadlcik, the winner of last year's World's Ultimate Strongman Championship and therefore the new World Middleweight Champion, and Australia's champion Tyson Morrissy were also present. There were also strongmen from Japan, Canada, New Zealand, Russia, as well as Slovakia, Poland and other European countries. Miroslav Kahánek, the winner of the video qualification of the Strongman Czech U105 association, also represented the Czech Republic.
For the first three competitors, instead of trophies, helmets were made, which are a replica of the one worn by St. Wenceslas! The helmets were not made of any plastic, butcarefully forged!
Furthermore, iron medals were forged for all the competitors!
