1993
For most of his appearances in World’s Strongest Man competition, Kiri has been hampered by ankle injuries. Although Kiri placed 3rd and 2nd respectively in 1993 and 1996, ankle injuries plagued him during both contests. In reference to the Car Carry event in 1993, Kiri’s coach, Markku Suonenvirta, famously said: “His ankle is broken but he’s a tough guy.” Kiri’s ankle was in fact not broken but badly injured and weakened. In the 1996 WSM final event (Power Stairs) Kiri was about to go head to head with Magnus Ver Magnusson. However, just after the starter’s whistle, Kiri dropped out due to another ankle injury. Kiri was also forced to drop out of the 1998 World’s Strongest Man final due to an ankle injury, finishing in 6th place.
