FAQs

  • Athletes will have the option of either a 24-hour or early same day weigh-in. There will be no buffer.

  • The number of qualifying spots depends on the number of athletes who enter a given weight class.

    1-3 people in a category = 1 qualifying spot

    4-6 people in a category = 2 qualifying spots

    7+ people in a category = 3 qualifying spots

    Additionally an extra invite can be given at the discretion of the host.

  • If there is only one athlete in a weight class, they will only automatically qualify IF they do not zero 3/5 of the events. This is to ensure that everybody who qualifies for worlds has earned it via their performance on the day.

    In the case of a solo athlete in a weight class we will offer the athlete choice of competing alongside the weight class with the same/higher weights, so that they can also benefit the two-lane side-by-side competition experience.

  • Whatever your skill set, we can put them to good use in helping out on competition day. If you are interested in volunteering, please reach out to us using the contact form.

    That said, there is no minimum strength level to enter the qualifier. Do the weights look a little intimidating to you? Go ahead and sign up anyway; maybe you’ll get yourself a new PR! Remember, strongman should take you past your comfort zone.

  • Yes, we have hired a professional sports media team for both professional photo packages and a livestream to youtube. Athletes who take part will be able to download their photos free of charge after the event.

  • Yes, there will be a youtube livestream with commentary on the day.

  • The most affordable hotel, 5 minutes walk away from the gym, is The Flag hotel in Zurich Altstetten.

    We can also recommend Placid hotel, 13 minutes walk from the venue, which has slightly higher rates and more luxurious accommodation.

    25 Hours Hotel Zurich West is a longer walk (30 minutes) or bus ride (15 minutes) to the venue, and is less affordable, but has especially modern, stylish rooms.

    The gym itself is a 10 minute walk from Zurich Altstetten station. You can reach the station from Zurich airport via a direct train.

    For anybody needing to make weight, we can also offer you specific recommendations re saunas in the area.
