It is easy to see why they had to keep these guys in a cage, but it doesn't look strong enough to hold them — if they cooperate in breaking out.

Paul, why did you have to bring the truth to this forum
Just to put things in perspective: In the company to Antti Niskanin. John Dixon, Ralf Eckard, and Brian Burke,......I'm the smallest.(But also the oldest, except for John).
It wasn't me, honest! I was going to get you up to 7' and 140kg prior to WIRC and all others would have stayed home, knowing the futility.
Erg on,
Paul Smith

The biggest collection of Americans (at least 7) since the 2002 USIRT trip made their way individually to BIRC, many with great results. In no particular order they were:
Mark Pukita 12th Male 45-49lwt 7:13.1 (PB )
Rich Cureton 1st Male 55-59lwt 6:42.6 (Championship Record)
Rick Bayko 4th Male 55-59lwt 7:08.3
Helen Frykman 3rd Women's 45-49 7:30.5
Barbara Pike 1st Women's 65-69 7:53.4 (Championship Record)
Joan Van Blom 1st Women's 50-54lwt 7:26.5 (Championship Record)
Luanne Mills 1st Women's 65-69lwt 8:09.5 (Championship Record)
(Apologies if I've missed anyone)

Hmm, Congratulations to all.
From all the other reports I saw, I thought that a Championship Record was as rare as a R. - T.P., but they appear to be twice as common.
Cheers!
