Ted Sandwina's real name was Theodore Brumbach. He was the son of Katie Brumbach, a circus strongwoman who took the stage name Sandwina in honor of defeating strongman Eugene Sandow in a weightlifting contest in which she lifted a weight of 300 pounds over her head, which Sandow only managed to lift to his chest. Ted was strong but not skilled enough to become heavyweight champ. | |
