Mohegan Sun—Derek Poundstone made it three in row at the Mohegan Sun when he won the 2010 World Strongman Super Series Grand Prix tonight in convincing style.
Poundstone won three of six events outright, and was in a three-way tie for first on another; Poundstone finished the night with 32 points. Brian Shaw was second, with 27.5 points, and Stojan Todorchev was third, with 23.3 points (edging out David Ostlund on countback).
Brian Shaw was the only competitor to load all the stones on the final event.
After the competition, David Ostlund, Stojan Todorchev, Johannes Arsjo, Mark Felix and Jason Bergmann tried to close a No. 3 Captains of Crush gripper—all turned in commendable performances, with David Ostlund missing by just a whisker.
