It is always an honour to speak with a top international strongman, and with today’s strongman interview it is even more pleasing as he is also from the land of the Vikings, Norway. Espen Aune is a Worlds Strongest Man competitor and holder of the 2011 Norway’s Strongest Man title.

Romania’s Strongest Man – Paul Pirjol – International Strongman
For my next international strongman interview it was a little nostalgic. Paul Pirjol has won the title of Romania’s Paul Pirjol – International Strongman from Romania Strongest man in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

Strongwoman Kristyn Vytlacil Whisman 3x America’s Strongest Woman
When I recently interviewed Australian Strongwoman Sue Metcalf, she mentioned to me that I should definitely speak to Kristyn Vytlacil Whisman, who had recently won the title of America’s Strongest Woman (for the third time) in the strongwoman lightweight division. Whilst that was extremely impressive, it was the throw-away remark by Sue that I should ask her about… Continue reading Strongwoman Kristyn Vytlacil Whisman 3x America’s Strongest Woman
America’s Strongest Woman 2011- Runner-Up- Sue Metcalf

Warrick Brant – Australia’s International Strongman
Strongman Warrick Brant I came across Strongman Warrick Brant’s name only a few months ago, which was strange considering that he is one of the strongest men, if not the strongest, representing Australia on the world stage. It appears that whilst people are aware of Derek Boyer from his Gladiator days as Titan, Warrick has suffered… Continue reading Warrick Brant – Australia’s International Strongman
