ISA Arm-Wrestling Results & Hall of Fame in progress with two new Irish Competitors…
History of the Magnus Sammuelson Trophy
Appropriately named as Magnus not only refereed our first ever Ireland Arm Wrestling Championship for the Irish Strength Association, but he himself was a former European Arm Wrestling Champion and World Strongest Man (famous for breaking Nathan Jones, Australian Champion’s arm in World Strongest Man during an arm wrestling event).
