In the article by Mike Westerling he talks about the upcoming of USA strongman Travis Ortmayer which has been stealing the scene recently with his athleticism and intensity. Travis is known as being the king of the stones which is a title he earned for loading a 500 lb atlas stone. Travis started in the sport by surprise, he went to a competition with a buddy of his and didn’t plan to do it until the night before and ended up placing 3rd and since then he hasn’t looked back.Since then Travis has competed in such competitions as IFSA, Arnold classic and Fortisimus and of course the Met-Rx Worlds Strongest man. Travis is now one of the top strongman in the USA having placed 6th place in 2009 Worlds strongest man competition is a huge accomplishment for only having been a professional for 5 years. Ortmayer seems to impress many people with his intensity and heart towards the sport. Travis placed 6th in Worlds having awful flu symptoms, some say he would have placed much better at full potential, yet he still put on a show and dominated. Ortmayer is in the top rank of USA athletes such as Derek Poundstone, Kevin Nee, and Brian Shaw. Travis is always ready to put on a show for fans. He is always a fire in the crowd and seems to keep a fire burning that will eventually get Travis the Worlds title.
