The 42nd Annual World's Strongest Man competition is coming to Manatee County next month! The strongman competition will take place at multiple Bradenton-area venues in June, including the Bradenton Area Convention Center in Palmetto.
Events will include athletes pulling monster trucks weighing more than 30,000 pounds, deadlifting more than 650 pounds and tossing 150-pound kettle bells. The full schedule including venues has not yet been released, but all events will be free and open to the public. The event is scheduled June 13-16.
One famous face will be in the competition: Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, aka: The Mountain on HBO's Game Of Thrones. (I've never seen the show, so I'm hoping you know who he is... looking at him, it's no surprise why they called him "The Mountain").
