Laurence Shahlaei strikes again,wins SCL HOLLAND!
A fantastic close finish in the rain and sun in Holland last weekend. Laurence Shahlaei and Ervin Katona ended up in same points in the Strongman Champions League Holland, but Laurence had more wins, so he took the overall win and 25 champions league points, which brought him on a second place in the ranking over 6 stages so far.Ervin Katona remains as the overall leader in the orange Monster Milk leadershirt.
Specially the last event, the anchor drag, was full of nice drama.
In the rain,with a slippery surface and handles , Jimmy Laureys from Belgium defeated Johannes Arsjo in the last event and took over the 3rd place overall from Johannes. And also the first and second place was still on steak here.
It was typical dutch weather. Hard wind, nice sun, but also rain and thunders came along.
The SCL Holland, powered by Monster Milk , was a real fight in heavy circumstances ,but ended in a sunny and warm price giving in the evening.
14 competitors came up in a spectacular “Miami Vice”opening , (athletes came into the arena trhough the big “RIJN canal”on 3 powerfull boats from Shipyard “De Hoop”) with sunglasses in the rain and music from the serie “Miami Vice”. Show and entertainment made it complete!
The crowd loved it!
This was already the 6th stage from Strongman Champions League 2011.
