Burgas to host Bulgarian and Romanian strongman competition

The XIII round of the National Strongman Championship will take place on Saturday, October 24, at Troikata Square in Burgas. The event features athletes from Bulgaria and Romania and is part of the national campaign ‘The Strong Against Drugs,’ which promotes a healthy lifestyle without addictions.

Romanian competitors include Robert Martin, ranked among the top 20 globally, and Vladut Angeloi. Martin has narrowly defeated Bulgarian athletes in the last two competitions, setting the stage for a rematch on Bulgarian soil. The Bulgarian team includes Stanimir Todorov, Ivan Mryankov, Borislav Bonev, Hristiyan Delchev, and debutant Dimitar Dimitrov.

The competition consists of six disciplines, including pulling a 3.5-ton truck from a seated position on an incline, carrying a yoke with additional weight, lifting a 120 kg metal log overhead, flipping a 420 kg tire, a car deadlift, and the Atlas Stones.
