Brian Shaw

Brian, who introduced you to strongman?

- I really introduced myself to strongman. I decided to try it out after I got done with college and I pretty much had to learn on my own until I started meeting other competitors at contests.

What's your best event?

- I am very well rounded so I would like to think that every event is my best event... but if you made me choose one I would say the Atlas Stones

And what's your worst event?

- I don't really have a worst event.

What was your reaction when Svend Karlsen invited you to compete in Viking Power Challenge?

- I was excited to get the invite to VPC. I have heard great things about this contest and I am excited to be a part of it!

Have you ever been in Norway?

- No, I haven't.

What do you hope Norway will be like?

- I have heard it is very beautiful so I am hoping it turns out to be just that. And so far it has! I expected trees and mountains, ofcourse, but the trip up here today was really great!

Who will be your worst competitor in VPC?

- There is a very solid line up of competitors in this years VPC... It's very hard to pick just one.

Who will win VPC?

- I would have to pick myself as the winner.

What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?

- I need to get started packing!

What do you eat during a day?

- I eat around 10,000 calories over the day.

Have you been active in other sports before?

- I played basketball in high school and college.

What makes you happy?

- Winning makes me happy.

What pisses you off?

- And not winning does tend to piss me off.
