Results – The 2025 Old Time Strongman World Championships – 13th December
Venues: Derby England, Lebanon PA USA, Perth W Australia, Denver, Colorado USA, and Guest Lifters Venue: Belfast, Ireland
A fantastic 42 Lifters took part from England, Ireland, Australia and USA. A great big thank you goes out to all who were involved at all of the venues. It was a truly amazing day. It bodes well for the future of IAWA….Well done Everyone!
The results have been submitted to the Records Registrar for checking on Records. The Irish team did not have any officials as their leader Stevie is still recovering from heart surgery, but they still took part to lift as guests which was amazing, and though they were just guests they were meticulous about observing all the correct rules of competition and platform attire, so thank you to Dolores and Simon. The wheels are in motion for getting qualified officials for them soon, Dolores is already studying the rule book.
