Malta is to host the next edition of The PartyPoker.com World's Strongest Man 2009 contest.

The event was last held here 10 years ago.

The contest was launched in 1977 and is now watched by millions of fans all over the world. It tests the limits of human strength, power, and endurance.

Thirty of the world's strongest athletes will pit their strength in 10 events over four days of qualifying between September 26 and 29, with the top 10 going on to compete in the finals of the event itself, between October 1-3.

There will be free entry for all events, which will see competitors pulling 18-ton trucks, a 45-ton air Malta aircraft, and massive boulders.

The Malta event will be supported by Air Malta, the Malta Tourism Authority, Express Trailers, Coca Cola, and the Grand Hotel Excelsior.
