Kota Kinabalu:<\/strong> The Sabah’s Strongestman (OKS-Orang Kuat Sabah) Challenge 2011 explodes into action at Star City in Asia City here, tomorrow (Saturday).<\/p>\n

The organiser of the event, Casero Events Sdn Bhd, declared that everything down to the smallest detail is in place to ensure a successful staging of the event.<\/p>\n

“We are ready to stage the Challenge and look forward to bringing the excitement to everyone this weekend.<\/p>\n

“There will be plenty more attractions than last year’s inaugural event and the OKS Challenge this year will also be more exciting and challenging,” said Casero Events Managing Director-cum-organising committee chairman, Steve Mositun.<\/p>\n

An added interest in this year’s competition will be the presence of foreign challengers, namely from Singapore. It will be interesting to see how the local competitors size up to the Singapore titans.<\/p>\n

Preparation on the technical side of things also is a go.<\/p>\n

“Everything is good to go\u00c9all our equipment is in place.<\/p>\n

We also have enough marshals to assists in running the show,” said Event Promoter-cum-Technical Head Roger Frederick.<\/p>\n

Last year’s event saw 10 participants competing for the title of Sabah’s Strongest Man. This time around there will be more.<\/p>\n

“We have received 15 confirmed entries, mostly from Sabah.<\/p>\n

There will also be five participants from Singapore, who are expected to arrive today.<\/p>\n

“Registration also reopens today (until 9am on Satruday) so we will also be expecting a few more to entries,” said Roger, adding that the challenge is scheduled to kick-off at 10am.<\/p>\n

Participants will be put to test in six classic strongman challenges.<\/p>\n

Day One will see the participants competing in the Truck Pull, Farmer’s Walk and Tire Flip challenges.<\/p>\n

In the first challenge, participants will attempt to pull a 12-ton dump truck across a 20-meter distance. The participant with the fastest completing time will be declared the winner.<\/p>\n

Farmer’s Walk is the next event, where participants will to carry a 100kg load in each hand while walking for 40 meters. The fastest completing time wins the challenge.<\/p>\n

The third and final challenge of Day 1 will see contestants flipping a 250kg bull dozer tire. The fastest completing time of 10 flips will win the challenge.<\/p>\n

The final day will start with the Car Deadlift, which requires participants to lift the front part of a car as many times as possible.<\/p>\n

This will be followed by the Yoke Walk. This is a new challenge, replacing endurance grip.<\/p>\n

Participants will bear a load of 230kg across their shoulders and walk for a distance of 30 meters.<\/p>\n
