Pfister coasts to strongman finals; Siders happy with performance

Phil Pfister didn't lift a finger in the last event of the World's Strongest Man preliminaries on Tuesday.

But Charleston's own strongman will still contend for his second world title next weekend.

Pfister accumulated enough points to top the other six competitors in his group without having to lift the Atlas Stones on Tuesday afternoon. He will join nine other strongmen, the top two from each group, in the 2008 Met-Rx World's Strongest Man finals beginning Friday at Haddad Riverfront Park.

    It is very exciting to have this event in Charleston. It looks like the competitors are enjoying the crowd and talking to the kids, which is the most important thing. Go Phil!!!
