THE (PHYSICAL) STRENGTH OF NATIONS Fascinating fact - the average Indian man might be physically weaker than the average Icelandic woman. http://www.unz.com/akarlin/strength/ …pic.twitter.com/xu5CyASQ7b
I think you overrate Iceland and underrate the Baltic nations that have the highest levels of WHG and Steppe ancestry. The clear trend since 2002 in World's Strongest Man competitions has been toward Polish/Lithuanian dominance.

If you look at patterns in gene frequencies in Europeans a large number of variants reach either their maximum or minimum % in the vicinity of Latvia/Lithuania. They're the most "extreme" north Europeans, so not a surprise they're the best at a North European dominated event.

Lots. This is a model created by Davidski of Eurogenes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Rd332olbtYQs7dfVcEMnBCBRR0ILSLXCgDtZWm93XtA/edit#gid=661987578 … Of all *nationalities*, Latvians have the most steppe and WHG ancestry, although isolated groups from Russia like Udmurt may have more steppe.

The Icelandic overrepresenation is kind of superficial: two winners from the 1980's while the competition was still niche and East Europeans did not participate. When you look at contestants as opposed to winners 3/20 this year were Lithuanian and one Latvian. They're stronger.

On this note, I'm amused to see that Poles and Lithuanians constitute Iceland's biggest sources of immigrants by a considerable margin.pic.twitter.com/lTahwN5SHg
