Strongest Man in the World Demonstrates Feats at Garden
AP Special Correspondent Will Grimsley profiles Jack Walsh the self proclaimed strongest man who plans to lift a 700 pound motorcycle with one finger at Madison Square Garden Felt Forum on April 29. Walsh, 43, contrasts his ligament based strength with the Russian lifter Vassili Alexsey and recalls past stunts including lifting an elephant and carrying a horse up a ladder. He cites past titles in 1950 and 1960 and recounts dangerous feats such as stopping a DC3 from taking off and weighing down moving cars, though he notes the automobile stunt is the most perilous and often lands him in hospital with dislocated shoulders.
