The Women’s Extreme Strength Contest By Jeremy Wilson shaneomacfan1@yahoo.com Several ultra strong women compete in special events **Author’s note: This is a departure from what I usually write, it is about how a whole nation of women were somehow empowered with superhuman strength at one time, and the strongest developed their strength to the utmost, and so started this competition, the Women‘s Extreme Strength Contest. This story takes place at least 2 decades in the future, and many of the things you see are going to be a lot different from what you would see in any modern strength contest, mostly because of the women are so strong. This story doesn’t contain any young characters, so rest assured, you will not have anything to complain about, hahaha, just read the story, and tell me what you think.** The year is 2026, the first female president has been elected two years ago, and she had a majority female cabinet. The reason for this totally rearranged society? 4 years before an asteroid flew dangerously close to the Earth and released a chemical in the atmosphere unlike any that had been known at any time. Somehow, the men were left pretty much unchanged, but curiously, the women of the planet found that their strength had increased on the average of thousands, some as much as 100,000 times their former strength! Every woman on the planet, as young as 18 were affected, but for some reason, none below that age had been. It must be some issue having to do with maturity or puberty, but whatever it is, only females that had turned 18 years old or older had been affected. Well, after that, women ruled the world, and men were subjugated, not as slaves, but definitely appeared to be inferior. Another consequence of this event is that men were able to get slightly stronger, but women, through working out with whatever weights they could find, could build their bodies up quite easily, and their muscles could get incredibly large and defined. After the first six months women were taking over countries and everything ran just great, since no men ever even thought about getting out of line in their presence. Because of the way their new strength made them feel, and since they knew some men got off on them being so powerful, the women loved to experiment with their bodies, some lifted cars and buses, others were strong enough to lift aircraft carriers, but one thing was sure, when the women got this strong, they wanted to show up other women. That’s where the idea for the Muscle Woman Olympics came from, the love of competition that these super strong women had with each other, they just wanted to figure out exactly who is the strongest. Here is the story of the first of these annual competitions and the competitors in it. "The sun is shining brightly here in Las Vegas, Nevada as we welcome you to the brand new competition here on FMSN, Female Muscle Sports Network, I am Jake Abbott and this is my co-host, former Ms. Olympia winner, Sarah Dunlap." Jake nodded over the 43 year old 3 time Miss Olympia who looked even bigger in retirement then she did when she competed. "Thank you, Jake, ever since the chemical was released into the atmosphere 4 years ago, women have become super strong, even I have 10,000 times the strength of the strongest man in the world, but I couldn’t even hope to compete against these women in this competition, they have developed strength well beyond my own, I am just happy to be here and be apart of The Women‘s Extreme Strength Contest." Jake was surprised to hear Sarah’s own strength level and to hear that some of these women are much stronger than that amazed him even more. Of course, if you looked at Sarah’s awesome body, you could tell she was damn strong, but 10,000 times stronger than him, that is unreal, he thought to himself. "As am I Sarah, these women have found ways to work out with heavy weights, many of them go to rock quarries, some go to abandoned construction sites, others have special ways to train at home, but no matter how they got here, they will compete in 6 traditional strong woman contests and 2 other sports events to determine who is the champion of the Women‘s Extreme Strength Contest." Now, for the contestants. "Contestant one is from Atlanta, Georgia, she is the shortest competitor here, and one of the few female’s whose height wasn’t affected by the ‘genetic enhancing’ of 4 years ago. She stands 4’10 inches, but our judges weighed her in at an amazing 270 pounds, which is quite small for one of these ladies, but for a woman of under 5 feet, that is just incredible." The camera man focused on a hugely muscled woman whose biceps were so big they seemed to radiate with power, he couldn’t help but focus on them, since they stuck out so much on the small body of this woman. She flexed a little and they grew enormously, the expansion threatened her already overburdened t-shirt, which was a triple-XL, this was one big woman, no doubt. "Her name is June Finch, a former power lifter in the days before the ‘enhancing’, and had almost no trouble in the qualifying round, it seems that former strength athletes like June could have a big advantage in this competition, don’t you think, Sarah?" Sarah herself was incredibly muscular, muscles twitching and flexing from even the smallest movement. She smiled as she responded "Well, obviously strength athletes have the training and experience of lifting heavy objects, but as far as the strength after the ‘enhancing’, even the most normal female gained a significant amount of strength and could gain more strength by working out diligently, so all women are in the same boat." Jake nodded thoughtfully as the camera shifted to the next contestant. "Of course, in terms of pure strength, no one can disagree that June deserves to be here, her muscles are enormous, and she has been lifting for years." With that, June gave an intense double biceps pose that electrified the whole crowd, as her biceps pumped even bigger then before, up to 30 inches and those aren’t even the biggest in the contest! "Our second entry is Amanda Burns, she is 24 years old, our second youngest contestant, and as you can see, her height did increase after the ‘enhancing’." The camera drew out a big to focus on the height difference between Amanda and June, Amanda was noticeably taller, but less muscular than June. "Amanda is 6’5" and weighs 465 pounds, its obvious that Amanda doesn’t have the muscle mass of June, but her height is more advantageous then just pure strength, right Sarah?" Sarah was also a little taller, but she still was only 5’10", and she was impressed at the height and muscle definition that Ms. Burns possessed. "Jake, most of the events that you are going to see over the next two days are mainly for taller people, shorter people, like June might not be able to complete some of them, like the Athena stone, Zeus Stones, and titanic fingers, since height and body type figure into those events, therefore Amanda would be favored in those events, but she is not the tallest or most muscled contestant here." Amanda was flexing her pecs and shoulders some, which made them almost pop out from her tank top, she gave a beautiful smile to the camera, many of the men in the audience were behind her because of her super model good looks and she appreciated them for it. She knew her muscles were not the size of June’s but she certainly didn’t have a weak looking physique, if her height was normal, she could have easily been a Ms. Fitness Olympia in the times before the ‘enhancing’. She gave a kiss to the crowd as they moved to the next contestant. "The third entry is originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina and was a physique model until about 4 years ago, well you know what happened then. Like Amanda her height was enhanced and because of her body type, she can carry a lot more weight and muscle then Amanda, here is Angelina Marquina." The camera focused in on her immense body, she was only 6’2" but she weighed 475 pounds, 10 more pounds then Amanda, and it was obviously all muscle. Angelina wasn’t cut to shreds, but her size was spectacular, bigger than most Ms. Olympia contestants, but her body was built for power. "Angelina is probably one of the best all-around competitors at this year’s event, she has the size to make an impact in the events where height makes a difference, and the overall power that can win this contest outright, her only real weakness is that she is injury prone. Most of the ‘enhanced’ women are thought to be invincible but in many cases this isn’t so, sometimes you try to lift more than you really can, and when you fail the lift, bad injuries can occur. Angelina has had torn ligaments and a broken wrist because of her extra heavy lifts, but she tells me that she is just about 100% recovered and ready to go, we will see how she holds up." Angelina was frowning at this comment, but she had to admit that an injury could be a possibility. She waved and smiled anyway, as pushed this thought out of her mind, the only thing she could think about was winning this contest. "Our next competitor is also the oldest competitor, 57 year old Georgia Jamison from New Orleans, Louisiana. She wasn’t a bodybuilder or fitness athlete before becoming enhanced four years ago, but ever since then, she had changed her whole life, trying to become stronger and stronger over those four years." Georgia was short, like June, but not as heavily muscled, she was 5’3 and weighed about 210 pounds, very muscular for anyone, but compared to the other women in the contest, not that impressive. "Georgia, being the less experienced competitor has a decided disadvantage, but that doesn’t deter her in the least, she has come here to prove that age shouldn’t be a factor when it comes to strength." Sarah herself, being 45, was pulling for Georgia since she was the closest competitor to her age in the whole contest. "Georgia is determined, and I have seen her train, believe me, Jake, she doesn’t have to take a back seat to anybody in the strength department, her muscles may not appear to be all that much compared to her younger counterparts, but they pack a lot of strength in them!" After that comment, the camera focused close in on Georgia who smiled widely and proceeded to do an awesome most muscular pose, which showed off all the muscle she did possess, which looked great on her body! "Competitor number 5, coming all the way from the former Russian Republic of Belarus, Zdenka Romanavia, a 28 year old former fitness competitor and model. Zdenka has moved to the U.S. in order to train hard for this event, and obviously her body shows great development. In fact, she appears to be the most muscular competitor we have at the contest." Zdenka showed off awesome definition, but her size was well beyond any other competitor even though she was only 5’10 inches tall, she weighed 400 pounds of muscle. Her 34 inch biceps were legends throughout the whole strength/bodybuilding world and her power in the gym was unheard of. She smiled like all the other competitors, and winked towards her boyfriend in the stands who was beside himself with excitement. "Zdenka is very big Jake, and its not just for show, I have seen her lift weights and she is probably the most powerful woman I have ever seen up close, but these events are not all about pure physical strength, there is also stamina, speed, and intelligence at work in this competition, so don’t expect one woman to run away with it because of pure strength!" This made Zdenka smirk, she had a bit of an attitude and knew that if it came down to pure power, she was the biggest and strongest in the competition, hands down. She waved as the camera moved on to the final competitor in the contest. "Our sixth and final entrant is from Los Angeles, California and is a former Female Football League player with the Los Angeles Destroyers, Carolyn Sanders. She was kicked out of the league for disciplinary problems and unnecessary roughness. Now we know that most of the players in the FFL are incredibly tough and strong, but Carolyn was a great deal stronger than the next most powerful players it wasn’t even funny." The monitors showed her moving 400 pound plus tackles around like children and tackling 325 pound running backs, almost taking their heads off with forearm shivers and shoulder blocks. Then the cameras focused on Carolyn’s huge frame, she was African American and had huge muscles, not cut, but extremely large and powerful looking. "Carolyn is easily the biggest competitor here, height and weight wise, at 7’4" and 578 pounds, but she has not had a strength background before the ‘enhancing’, how will that affect her, Sarah?" The camera focused on the former Ms. Olympia again, who flashed her terrific smile and answered "Well, Jake, Carolyn had a great upsurge in strength 4 years ago, she told me she had become 20,000 times stronger than she was before, that is twice as strong as most of us and when she started working out in preparation for her football career, that strength increased almost exponentially, it seems that the harder she works her body, the stronger it gets, expect her to do well in this competition." The camera was on Carolyn again and she sneered with contempt, she obviously was a very mean and sadistic woman, but she loved the attention her bad attitude got her. She flexed a little before the camera panned back to hosts. "Now on to the competition, ladies and gentlemen." "Our first event is the 5 ton rock throw. Most of our viewers should know that this event is very much like a shot put from track and field, but the shot in this even is equivalent of 10,000 pounds, or 3 and a half good sized cars!" Jake was obviously excited about this event as his enthusiasm was showing in his announcing. "Yes Jake, these rocks are very dense lead balls, they look very much like stones, hence the name 5 ton rock throw, their size is equivalent of a basketball." Jake ran down the rules "Each woman has 3 throws, of course the longest throw is the one that is kept, whoever gets the best throw of the group gets six points, second gets 5 and so on. The competitor fouls if she throws the stone out of bounds or if she steps over the line." June steps up first, the stone looking really large because of her small frame and stature, but she handles it like nothing. Spinning around like an experienced shot putter, she throws it will all her strength. "Wow, unbelievable power from such a small woman, 72 feet 3 inches is the first throw of the competition." Amanda steps in and throws it from the front of the circle, hoping that her pure strength will carry it farther, it doesn’t. "Ooooo, that’s too bad, only 68 feet 4 inches, Amanda has to be disappointed with that effort." Angelina is the next to pick up the awesome weight and throws it with all her strength after a slight warm-up with it. "Angelina just moved into first place with a throw of 74 feet 2 inches! That is incredible considering how heavy that object is." Next was Georgia, who had a throw of 64 feet and looked really disappointed and angry with herself. "Now Zdenka, who is probably pound for pound and overall the strongest woman here, will her power translate to good numbers here, Sarah?" Jake asked "Yes, I think so, Jake, this event is almost 100 percent about pure physical strength, very little technique, but mostly power, so Zdenka has an advantage in this contest." Zdenka stepped up and spun around like the first competitor, June, but was off balance when she released the shot, she threw it a long way, but stepped over the line doing it, making her first throw a foul. "Oh, that’s got to be disappointing for Zdenka, as we know going over the line is a foul, and she threw it an awfully long way, maybe over 80 feet!" Last competitor, Carolyn just stood out in front of the line and threw it like a baseball, amazingly the shot was propelled almost to the 70 foot line, if she had used the regular shot put technique, she might have won it easily, but seeing 5 tons thrown like that was incredible to see by anybody. "Second round, lowest competitor first, which because she fouled the first round will be Zdenka." She stepped up to the back of the line and shuffled her feet forward, throwing the ball as hard as she could that way. This time it wasn’t a foul, but it wasn’t as far as her first throw. "78 feet, 5 inches, Zdenka Romanavia is our new leader." Georgia came up next, hoping to improve on her 64 foot first throw, she did, but only by 2 feet, which again disappointed her. Amanda is next "That throw is much better than her first round, lets see 73 feet 10 inches, that’s great for Amanda, though really far off the lead, she will have to bring that up with her final throw. "Now Carolyn is up, and it appears that she has learned to throw it like a shot now, her 69 feet last round is amazing considering she threw the shot overhand, baseball style, which takes a lot more strength to do." Carolyn wound up and tossed with all her power and to the amazement of all those standing there threw the ball straight up about 30 feet, unfortunately she didn’t throw it as far as her first round, only 65 feet 3 inches, but the pure height that she attained was awesome to see. "There’s no doubt that if Carolyn had perfect technique she would be in the lead right now, her power is astounding!" Sarah said as June steps up to the line. "Considering June’s size, it is incredible to see her place so high in this kind of competition, where size is almost as important as strength, no one would have guessed she would have the second best length coming into the second round, right Sarah?" Sarah: "Well, Jake, June’s technique is just about perfect and we know that she is very strong for her size, but no I couldn’t have predicted that she would be second place right now, but the events not over, we will see how she places overall." June did the same technique that she did in the first round, throwing the shot with every single bit of strength she could and the results showed it, 76 feet 9 inches, now second place overall next to Zdenka’s throw. "Final competitor, Angelina, who had a throw of 74 feet 2 inches last round." Angelina stepped up and threw a little harder than she seemed to throw last round, but it didn’t improve her position much, as the shot dropped at 75 feet 8 inches, third place coming into the final round. "Third round, Carolyn goes first, and she is looking to be throwing the more normal style again, I hope she can find the right way to do this." This time Carolyn had perfect technique and threw it the hardest she could. "Wow, look at that, this could be the winner for the event 83 feet 4 inches!" Georgia, looking very much in awe of Carolyn’s effort stepped to the line next, and threw it as hard as she could, her whole body behind it, but unfortunately, it didn’t help her any, as her momentum took her out of the circle, causing the second foul of the event. "Boy, that is too bad, Georgia was trying her best there and that throw looked to be a very decent one, at least 75 feet." Amanda is up next, coming up to the line, and braced herself, she proceeded to power the ball out of her hand with all her very abundant physical strength. "Boy, Sarah, Amanda must have charged herself up, because this throw is much longer than her second, lets see, 79 feet 4.5 inches, she is now second place with three competitors to go." Sarah: "Yeah, Jake, but our top three are some amazing female specimens, it would be hard to count anyone of them out." Angelina up now, and after a little bit of warming up, which had the crowd in a frenzy, she stepped up and heaved the shot with all her considerable might. "Holy cow! I thought Carolyn’s throw was gonna be the absolute best, but Angelina just moved her out of first place with an unbelievable toss of 85 feet even, that’s going to be hard to beat by June and Zdenka." June is in the circle now, warming up, to a much less frenzied response, although she was much admired for her strength at such a small stature. June threw it with her perfect technical wizardry again, and was disappointed when her toss ended up just short of Amanda’s last toss. "Ooooo, too bad, only 79 feet 1 inch, good enough for at least fifth, but I am sure she expected better." Now, it was Zdenka’s turn, and for some odd reason, she was smiling, almost smirking at the rest of the competitors, what could she have up her sleeve. "Well Zdenka looks confident, lets see how she does." Zdenka started spinning like a hurricane, but in perfect control, and finally launched a ball that reached almost 50 feet in height, but unlike Carolyn’s earlier high toss, this one was still going horizontally too. The shot finally dropped, well ahead of Angelina’s awesome 85 feet. "Absolutely incredible, that toss went a record 89 feet 8 inches, the winner of the first event, Zdenka Romanavia!" The standings going into the second event, Zdenka 6 pts., Angelina 5 pts., Carolyn 4 pts., Amanda 3 pts., June 2 pts., and Georgia 1 pt. "Second event, the car tug of war. We have a 2024 Ford Excelsior with a v-10 engine and an equivolent of 20 horses under the hood which weighs 3 tons, the competitors must try to pull against it on a ten meter course, but unlike most strongmen events, the car will be on, in drive, and the women will have to try and pull it backwards with a rope. Best time wins, and if no one finishes, whoever gets closest to the line wins." Georgia, going first didn't bring the car across the line, but she got within two feet of the line, so that was what she had to take for her time. June, who was severly disappointed by getting second last, did her best in this event and it showed, she crossed the line in 34 seconds! "Boy, Sarah, that is going to be tough to beat." Amanda did her best to beat it, but unfortunately her 42 seconds was much too short to get close to June's time. Carolyn was much better at 36 seconds but that was still not good enough for anything better than second at this point. Angelina had a great time of 33.5 seconds, enough to get her first in the event over June as Zdenka watched on in obvious interest. She stepped up and pulled the car her hardest, but a slip at the beginning caused a longer time than she was preparing for, 38.5 seconds. "4th place in the event, that has to be disappointing for her Jake." Jake: "Definitely Sarah, especially since she won the first event and trained unbelievably hard for this event, she is definitely not happy with this placing." Standings going into the 3rd event, Angelina 11 points, Zdenka 10 points, Carolyn 8 points, June 7 points, Amanda 5 points, and Georgia 2 points. Third Event, the Zeus stones. "This event is very much like the strong man favorite Atlas stones, but these stones weigh over 150 times the weight of the weight of those stones, but are the same size as the Atlas stones. The lightest is 5,600 pounds and the heaviest is 10,200 pounds, that doesn’t seem like a lot of weight to these generously powered women, but because of the fact that the stone is shaped like it is, and many of the women will have some trouble gripping them, these weights will seem much heavier and harder to lift than they really are. We will do it in pairs, lowest two first, Georgia and Amanda going first. Your Analysis, Sarah?" Sarah: "Well, Jake, Georgia is the second shortest competitor in the contest, so this will not be a piece of cake for her, it seems it will be another low placing for her, unless a miracle happens, Amanda is taller but she doesn’t have long arms, which would help her a lot, so she has no real advantages either, it will be interesting to see if either of them finish this event." The whistle sounded and both women lifted the first stone with seeming ease, attempting to place it on a six foot tall wall for the lightest stone, Georgia pressed the immense weight overhead with seeming ease, and Amanda was not far behind her. The second stone went up almost exactly the same way for both of them, but the third stone separated them, as Amanda pulled ahead almost easily while Georgia struggled some. She completed the third stone, and raced back but Amanda was already placing the fourth stone up on the platform. Georgia managed to pick up the 7800 pound fourth stone, but was struggling to lift it more than a few inches before losing her tenuous grip on it. Amanda raced back and placed the fifth stone on the platform with a time of 58 seconds. Georgia bowed out at three stones in 30 seconds, another disappointing performance and most likely another last place finish. Next up, June and Carolyn, this contest wasn’t even close, June was much too short, with really short arms, so she couldn’t grip the stone with any certainty. Carolyn on the other hand was the tallest competitor and had arms that would make a gorilla jealous, so she had a distinct advantage in this event. June managed to get the first two stones up without much struggle, her power being too much for her height disadvantage to overcome for a while at least. She placed the third stone at 28 seconds and managed to get the fourth stone up at 54 seconds, but time ran out before she could pick the last stone up. Carolyn just ripped the course up with her speed and long strides, carrying the stone on her shoulder like a barrel. She put up all 5 stones in an amazing time of 42 seconds. Now it was up to the two points leaders, Angelina and Zdenka. They were evenly matched, Angelina had height and speed, Zdenka had speed, stamina and pure strength. They looked to be even the whole way, not rushing, but totally in control the whole time. Zdenka pulled ahead after the fourth stone was placed, but had a little trouble getting it up on the platform, which gave Angelina time to catch up, Zdenka placed her stone first and Angelina placed it a second and a half later. Unfortunately for them, the times were 53.5 and 55 seconds respectively, which put them 2/3 in the event. The winner with 6 points, Carolyn. The standings going into the Fourth Event Zdenka and Angelina tied at 15 points a piece, Carolyn in a close second with 14 points, June 9 points, Amanda 8 points, and Georgia 3 points, almost certainly out of the final running. "Fourth event is the titanic fingers, much like the fingal fingers of World’s Strongest Man competitions, these fingers are made of ultra-dense materials that make them much, much heavier, the lightest going 6,000 pounds, while the heaviest is 15,000 pounds, there are five fingers that have to be put in position, fastest time wins, and if the competitor doesn’t finish all five, she will be given the best time for how many fingers she did manage to put in position." Amanda and Georgia start out this even together, just like the previous one. Georgia is having a much better go at this even, pushing over these fingers like plastic spoons, she has really found an even she is good at, but it could be too late. "Georgia finishes all five fingers in only 37 seconds, that is going to be a tough time to beat." Amanda on the other hand is having serious trouble, she can’t find the right handhold for the fingers and they are not looking all that light to her. She is really struggling with the immense size, and can only set down 4 of the 5 before time runs out. "June and Carolyn are the second group, and both are looking really bad in this event." Carolyn is having trouble keeping them vertical and then pushing them over, she doesn’t push them with enough power to put them where they are supposed to go, but this is the first time she has done this event, and she will learn through experience. "June is just too short to do much in this event, even though Georgia is only 5 inches taller, Georgia had good technique, June, like Carolyn doesn’t have the technique down, so no matter how powerful they are, if the fingers aren’t pushed right, they won’t go over." Carolyn finished all 5 in a time of 54 seconds, while June only got 3 over in a time of 46 seconds, she just quit because she knew the event wasn’t going to be hers. Next Zdenka and Angelina moved into position and as the whistle blew they began working tirelessly to push the fingers over into position. "Zdenka and Angelina have much better technique, they also look to be much faster overall, but I don’t think Georgia’s time will be caught, Georgia just had too much technique and speed, but a win here will not help her overall standing." Well they were right, Zdenka finished all 5 in 43 seconds and Angelina just behind in 47 seconds, so Georgia’s win didn’t really mean anything. Standings going into the fifth event, Zdenka with 20 points, Angelina with 19 points, Carolyn with 17 points, Amanda and June tied at 10 points, and Georgia with 9 points. "Our fifth event is the Athena stone, which is taken from the World’s Strongest Man event, the Africa stone. This stone is awkwardly shaped, and very heavy itself 4 feet long and 3 feet wide at its widest point, and 8,500 pounds, the main objective is to carry the stone in one’s arms for the greatest distance, over a 50 meter course. Whoever goes the longest gets the points." Georgia goes first, even though she won the previous event, she is still in last place. She picks up the awkward stone, grunting in effort as she does and starts waddling down the course, obviously straining the whole way. She tired very early, but kept going through sheer will, she knew that another last place finish would eliminate any chance she had of winning this contest. She dragged herself to 78 feet and dropped the stone. Next Amanda stepped up and took the Athena stone, which looked much more comfortable in her massive arms, since she was very much taller and more muscular than Georgia. But she didn’t have the will power and heart that Georgia had and only dragged it out to 69 feet 2 inches. June, of course had no advantages in this event, being the shortest woman with the shortest limbs of anyone here, but she continued on after Georgia’s mark, because her tendon strength was much greater and her determination to prove that short women could place well was greater as well. "My goodness Sarah, its really unreal that June, the shortest woman in the contest, could take that huge stone 86 feet, considering her hands couldn’t even touch around it.!" Sarah: "Well Jake, it appears that June’s grip is awesomely strong, and her heart and determination is bigger than her body, I am very proud to see this kind of effort out of one of our competitors." June got a standing ovation from the appreciative crowd as she flexed her pumped biceps and lat muscles for them. All, her fellow competitors came up and shook her hands and patted her on the back, they were very impressed by what they had just seen. But Carolyn, Zdenka and Angelina still had to go, Carolyn first. Being the tallest person there gave her certain advantages, but Carolyn did not have the grip strength that June had and was in trouble of dropping the stone very soon after the 50 foot mark, but held on a little longer with all the strength she had left, unfortunately it wasn’t good enough as she dropped it at 58 feet. Angelina wasn’t even as good as that, her grip was even weaker than Carolyn’s and dropped the stone at a very disappointing 54 feet. Zdenka picked it up and almost started jogging down the course, the stone looked almost weightless in her arms as she walked with more than 4 tons in her arms. She slowed down at 40 feet, but kept up a steady pace, finally stopping at 82 feet and threw it down right there. She was content to take second place behind June’s unbelievable effort. The events going into the sixth and last event were Zdenka with 25 points, Angelina with 20 points, Carolyn with 19, June with 16 points , Amanda and Georgia tied at 13 points. "It looks like Zdenka might not even have to do the last event, she would only have to get the second last place to win the whole thing, it is out of reach for anyone other than Angelina, who would need a first place finish and Zdenka getting a last place finish to force only a tie." "Our sixth and last event is the plane pull. We have a 200 foot long, 40 ton Boeing 727 airliner that is connected up to an extra-strength steel chain that is connected to a heavy leather harness and belt that is around the competitor, the object of this competition is to get it down a fifty meter course in the time limit, whoever finishes first wins the event, but our current leader Zdenka Romanavia only needs fifth place to tie up the whole contest, and this is one of her favorite events, so that is almost a certainty for now. If, she comes in last and Angelina comes in first, there will be a two out of three win arm wrestling tie-breaker competition between the two, and the winner will be named the Strongest Woman in the World." Georgia, for the first time not in last place, at least not by herself, is going first again, but she is happy to get going first and get this out of the way. Her legs are her best and strongest body part, so that will help her here. She signals the judges that she is ready and after the whistle she starts pulling, it is really slow going at first, and it takes her a while to build up her momentum. She gets to the halfway point at 23 seconds and is just starting to go faster and faster, finally at 40 meters through she looks to be going full speed and the plane crosses the line at 51 seconds, a really respectable time. Amanda stepped into the harness next, and grabbed the reinforced steel chain. The whistle blew and Amanda started, but she struggled a little more than Georgia, as her legs were not as developed and her back was a little injured from the previous events, she tried her hardest though and finished the course in 1 minute 8 seconds, which really disappointed her. "Boy, Sarah, that time will not hold up, especially with 4 great competitors yet to come, right?" Sarah: "Well, Jake, 68 seconds is not a real great time, but it is to be expected at this point, since all the women are tired, and this event is as much about stamina as it is power." June was up next, she got in the harness and pulled her hardest after the whistle blew, which showed because the bus was pulled steadily throughout. June sped up around the 30 second mark, and closed in on Georgia’s time, but unfortunately stumbled a bit with 5 meters to go, making her time a little disappointing 56 seconds. Carolyn bulled her way through the course, but was really slow at the start, making her seem really sluggish at the beginning. She picked up a little speed, but her stamina after her slow start was put to the test, and she failed, making her run 1 minute and 2 seconds. Angelina knew what she had to do and she obviously was ready to go, because she was snorting like an angry bull before the whistle blew and she took off like a rocket, blowing away the rest of the competition to that point. She never slowed down throughout and came across the line with an unbelievable time of 49 seconds, putting her first in the standings, with Zdenka to go. Well you can see where this is going, but I’ll make it official. Zdenka had a very tough start and never quite recovered after slipping at the 10 meter mark. She had taken last at a time of 1 minute 10 seconds and was tied with Angelina at 26 points and that will lead to the tie-breaking arm wrestling match! The rest of the field goes like this, Carolyn third with 22, June fourth with 20, Georgia fifth at 20 and Amanda sixth at 18. "We have two very evenly matched competitors here with Zdenka and Angelina, right Sarah?" Sarah: "Indeed Jake, Zdenka is 5’10 and 400 pounds, very muscular and pound for pound, maybe the strongest here, Angelina is only 4 inches taller and 75 pounds heavier, but her muscles are only an inch bigger all the way around her physique, this will be a very close contest." Zdenka and Angelina stared into each others eyes, looking for any possible sign of weakness, they couldn’t find any though, as they took each others hands an positioned their elbows in the right place. "1,2,3 GO!" The judge pulled his hand away and Zdenka and Angelina started pushing, neither gaining ground at the very beginning, but after 45 seconds of this Zdenka started pouring on her power and Angelina started feeling herself weakening. 15 seconds after that Angelina found her arm on the table. Zdenka won the first fall. Second fall Angelina was smiling, feeling warmed up and pumped, Zdenka was a little weary, her arm a little sore, the judge said "1,2,3 GO!" again and they were off again. Angelina was the one pouring on the power now, and Zdenka’s arm was slowly going down to the table. After 40 seconds Zdenka was beaten, the match was now even at one. After a minute break they were at it again, both their arms were really sore, but they were ready and willing to go again. The judge did the countdown again "1,2,3, GO!" This match was the hardest and the longest going of all, neither woman showed much weakness, but after two minutes of trying Zdenka’s arm started to shake, and Angelina’s arm stayed steady, after three minutes Zdenka’s arm started moving down, finally 3 minutes and 45 seconds, Zdenka’s arm finally hit the table. It was over! Angelina had won! Angelina was the strongest woman in the world! "Boy that was draining, but the winner is Angelina Marquina from Argentina, lets give her a hand!" Angelina was smiling to the crowd and blowing them kisses with her ‘weak’ hand. "Well this has been the 2026 Women’s Extreme Strength Contest, thank you for tuning in, our winner is Angelina Marquina from Buenos Aires, this is Jake Abbot along with Sarah Dunlap saying goodbye from Las Vegas, Nevada for FMSN."
