Tarmo Mitt

Tarmo Mitt is an Estonian professional strongman, born on 22 May 1977, who was a regular entrant at the World's Strongest Man contest and a finalist, finishing in the top ten four years running from 2005 to 2008. He began training and competing at the age of 20 and won his national championship within two years. By 2005 he was regarded as one of the leading competitors in the world, with frequent podium finishes on the World Strongman Cup circuit. Missing the 2009 starting line up and being named first reserve is what he counts as his biggest disappointment. He tore a biceps in the 2007 final and still finished tenth. He later won stage three of the WSF World Cup in Minsk in 2011, and his son Arnold Mitt became a prominent Estonian basketball player.
