Flemming Rasmussen (12 March 1968 – 13 July 2024) was a Danish strongman competitor and powerlifter. He competed in the World's Strongest Man contest several times, finishing in 5th place in 1995 and 4th in 1996. His best result came in 1997 when he finished 2nd, but he had been leading by four points over eventual champion Jouko Ahola before the final two events. However, sixth-place finishes in both of the final two disciplines allowed Ahola to overturn the deficit. Flemming won the title of Denmark's Strongest Man 7 times from 1995-2000 and in 2003,[1] and won the Danish Powerlifting title in 1993 and 1994.[2] Before competing as a strongman, Rasmussen was Danish ten-pin bowling champion.[3] Rasmussen died on 13 July 2024, at the age of 56.[4]
