Results of the Old Time Strongman World Postal Competition

5th August 2018

Report by I.A.W.A. President Al Myers:

The results for the FIRST EVER OTSM World Championship have finally been compiled. I was so impressed with the participation in this Championship, with 5 women and 19 men competing. Also, lifters from Australia (8 lifters), the USA (11 lifters), England (4 lifters), and Wales (1 lifter) were part of this Championships. That indeed makes it a World event! I sure hope this continues as an annual IAWA Championship – and for those that entered this year will always go down in history as part of the inaugural class of OTSM IAWA lifters. That’s something to be proud of!

I want to thank the host club/promoters in each country that helped promote this year’s OTSM Worlds. This includes:

Australia – Lambda Academy with promoter John Mahon
England – promoters Nick Swain and Phil Crisp
USA – Dino Gym with promoter Al Myers
Wales – promoter Neil Keddy

Lastly, I want to thank my co-promoter for this event, John Mahon for all his help. John did alot of work to make this happen – organized the entry forms, collected the entries, and tabulated the results/scoresheets.

I’m very much looking forward to next year and the future of Oldtime Strongman in IAWA.
