Austrian Fritz Sendlhofer finally struck gold in this category in Norway 2011 after numerous non-gold podiums at previous WBMC’s. Fritz also took the 2011 Euro championship in this category last March.

Alaska’s Doug Renfro, who won the category on home turf in Anchorage in 2009, finished second, while Devin Cara of Beard Team USA, third in full beard at last year’s Nationals, was third. This was Cara’s first podium in the worlds, which he also attended in Brighton and Anchorage. Cara was also third in the full beard category in Bend last year, but in Norway he showed he could place without disrobing.

The USA swept the category in Anchorage in 2009, with 2011 silver medalist Renfro winning gold in his hometown.
