Edwin Hakvoort

Edwin Hakvoort is a Dutch strength athlete, born in Kloosterhaar in 1975, who competed in the national strongman circuit from 2003 after earlier regional contests, and later on the international circuit as well. His highlight came on 22 July 2006 in Sarvar, Hungary, where he and his friend and training partner Jarno Hams won the World's Strongest Team title. Other results include third place at the Strongest Man of the Netherlands in 2005, fifth at the IFSA Grand Prix Netherlands in 2006, which Zydrunas Savickas won, and second at the Internationale Deutschland Cup in 2005. Around 2006 he weighed 130 to 135 kilograms at a height of 193 centimetres. After 2007 he faded from strongman contests because recurring injuries often forced him to withdraw.
