SPECTATORS turned out in force on Sunday to watch the 2010 Wales Strongman competition taking place in Penarth Marina.
Thirteen powerlifters from all over the principality took part in six punishing events at the marina boatyard, including a dead lift, the atlas stones, the super yolk, farmers walk with tyre flip, a log lift and an arm-over-arm tractor pull.
Dale Norris, from Porth, was crowned 2010 champion with Richard Smith, from Flint in north Wales, finishing runner-up.
Both men automatically qualify for the UK Strongest Man competition taking place in Belfast in August - an event that will be broadcast on satellite TV channel, Bravo.
Powerlifter Richie Allen, from Penarth, organised the 2010 national tournament and also took part - recording a respectable fifth-place finish.
He said: “It was such a great atmosphere on the day.
“Everything went to plan and Penarthians really showed their support.
