2001 World's Strong Man winner Svend Karlsen has drawn a bead on the
strongman event at the 2004 Arnold Expo, declaring that he'd "rather
win the Arnold than World's Strongest Man" again. "It's the only
thing I haven't won," Karlsen said, adding that he likes the fact
that the strongman contest at the Arnold is built around basic
events and "not so much running around." Karlsen, a tremendous force
on the professional strongman circuit, will be competing in what is
now officially the final event in the 2003 IFSA Super Series, along
with top ranking IFSA Super Series athletes Mariusz Pudzianowski,
Zydrunas Savickas, Hugo Girard, Raimonds
