Australia’s Strongest Man 2015 - Results
Australia’s Strongest Man for 2015/16 has just been run on the weekend of the 1st of November 2015. This event will qualify the winner for a place to compete against the worlds best in the Arnold Strongman Classic Australia in March 2015.
Already a winner of Australia’s Strongest Man for 2015 earlier in the year, Eben Le Roux has already qualified to compete next year. The layout of strongman competitions in Australia has changed for 2015/16 to better allow competitors to prepare for Australia;s Strongest man and Giants Live/Arnolds Australia. In the past they have been linked together. Now having two premium heavyweight comps a year for the Australians to practice in will help the Aussie’s better prepare themselves for competition against the rest of the world.
