2023 World’s Strongest Man Results and Leaderboard

The 46th annual World’s Strongest Man (WSM) is running from Wednesday, April 19 through Sunday, April 23, 2023 with a one-day break on Friday, April 21, to separate the Qualifying Round from the Finals. The biggest event in strength sports is being held for the first time in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at the Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place.

Breaking Muscle will be consistently updating this results page to keep you on top of all the action throughout this year’s contest. Contest organizers have stated there will be no livestream of the event but, as the contest progresses, WSM is offering behind-the-scenes commentary and interviews with athletes, hosted by former WSM competitor Terry Hollands.

The 2023 World’s Strongest Man

2023 WSM Day Four

The 2023 World’s Strongest Man competitors enter their last day with three remaining events set to determine who takes home the title. With few opportunities to score significant points, the odds are shifting as some athletes appear to be in a more advantageous position than others.

Max Dumbbell

The first event of the contest’s conclusion was the max dumbbell — a single-arm overhead dumbbell press with an oversized, thick-handled dumbbell. Competitors lifted in a series of rounds, with athletes advancing to lift progressively heavier and larger dumbbells until reaching their maximum performance.

Weights progressed accordingly: 115 kilograms (254 pounds), 125 kilograms (275 pounds), 132.5 kilograms (291 pounds), 140 kilograms (308 pounds), 145 kilograms (319 pounds), 151 kilograms (333 pounds — a World Record weight), and 155 kilograms (342 pounds).

Eliminated 2023 WSM competitor Mateusz Kieliszkowski holds the current max dumbbell World Record, pressing 150 kilograms (330.7 pounds) in 2018. Interestingly, Oleksii Novikov put up 153.2 kilograms (337.8 pounds) in 2021. Because it was performed in training rather than in competition, Novikov’s lift is an unofficial record.

Shortly after beginning the event, Jaco Schoonwinkel appeared to suffer an injury during his first lift. Details are unconfirmed, but the athlete was taken away to be examined by on-site medical staff. Being unable to continue, Schoonwinkel withdrew from the competition. This was an unfortunate end to the South African athlete’s first WSM appearance. He made an impressive debut, earning a spot in the Finals by outscoring his group in the Qualifying Round — a field which included four-time WSM champion Brian Shaw.

Bus Pull

The penultimate event of the contest is arguably one of the most visually impressive events in the entire sport — the bus pull. Athletes will be attached via harness to the front of a 25.5-ton (23,133-kilogram/51,000-pound) bus. They will then have 60 seconds to march as far as possible along a 25-meter (82-foot) path with the vehicle in tow.

2023 WSM Day Three

The first day of Finals competition began in dramatic fashion. Contest organizers were faced with a challenge no feat of strength could overcome — thunder, lightning, wind, and rain. The day’s order of events was shuffled at the last minute, after deciding the first event — Fingal’s Fingers — was unsafe to perform in the stormy weather. The Shield Carry, initially set as the last event of the day, was moved to kickoff the Finals as soon as weather permitted.

Competitors’ scores were refreshed and athletes entered the Finals on a level playing field, regardless of their performance in the Qualifying Stage. The most successful competitor in the Finals will earn the 2023 World’s Strongest Man title.

Reign Total Body Fuel Shield Carry

After a two-hour weather delay, the first event of the Finals began. The Reign Total Body Fuel Shield Carry tested core strength, agility, and total-body endurance as the athletes were required to carry a 196-kilogram (432-pound) shield for maximum distance. Competitors ventured down and back along a 20-meter (65.6-foot) course.

In a judge’s decision that stunned spectators, Pavlo Kordiyaka was marked with a significant 19.8-meter penalty after failing to cross the preset boundary during one lap of his carry. The deduction cost a crucial allotment of points which would’ve sent Kordiyaka to the top of the leaderboard. WSM newcomer Jaco Schoonwinkel stumbled shortly after beginning his carry, sending him to last place and securing a single point for the event.

KNAACK Deadlift

In an event familiar to most lifters, the KNAACK Deadlift involved a standard deadlift performed for maximum repetitions in 60 seconds. In a potentially unfamiliar aspect for many gym-goers, competitors deadlifted 355 kilograms (782.6 pounds). Competitors persevered despite continued rainfall during the outdoor event.

Mitchell Hooper came away with his sixth event win of the entire contest, giving the Canadian athlete a strong position atop the leaderboard.

Fingal’s Fingers

The first day of Finals competition wrapped up with the eye-catching Fingal’s Fingers, an event not seen in a World’s Strongest Man Finals since the 2009 WSM.

Athletes had 60 seconds to flip a series of five “fingers” — completing as many as possible as quickly as possible. Each beam, roughly the size of a telephone pole, was progressively heavier than the last. The weights were presented, in order: 145 kilograms (320 pounds), 154 kilograms (340 pounds), 159 kilograms (350 pounds), 163 kilograms (360 pounds), and 172 kilograms (380 pounds).

With the conclusion of the first day of Finals, Brian Shaw’s “Drive for Five” almost certainly came to an end. The four-time WSM champion (2011, 2013, 2015-2016) is most likely out of contention for a podium-finish based on his current standing in points, depending on his performance and the performances of his peers in the contest’s three remaining events.

2023 WSM Day Two

After completing the first full day of competition, athletes head into the second day and their last opportunities to secure a spot in the Finals. Here are the results from each competitive Group including each athlete’s results, corresponding performance, and placing within the event.

Conan’s Wheel

In a test of core strength, endurance, and perhaps pain tolerance reminiscent of the epic film character, the Conan’s Wheel required competitors to support a 199.5-kilogram (440-pound) bar in the Zercher position while walking around a fixed circle for maximum distance.

Scoring was determined by “degrees” of the circle completed — 360 degrees being one complete lap around the circle’s circumference. Oleksii Novikov earned his third event win of the Qualifying Round, pushing ahead of Conan’s Wheel World Record holder Pavlo Kordiyaka by nearly 150 degrees.

Kettlebell Toss

To determine explosive power, athletes were presented with a series of seven progressively heavier kettlebells. Using a movement similar to a kettlebell swing, they had 60 seconds to launch as many weights as possible past a 4.5-meter (15-foot) bar set overhead.

The weight progression was: 20.5 kilograms (45 pounds), 21.8 kilograms (48 pounds), 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds), 22.7 kilograms (50 pounds), 24 kilograms (53 pounds), 26.3 kilograms (58 pounds), and finally 30.8 kilograms (68 pounds).

Konstantine Janashia, the sole Polish competitor in this year’s WSM, topped the event blasting through all seven weights in 32.44 seconds. Janashia’s surprise performance, after being mathematically eliminated from the Finals based on points entering the event, interrupted Mitchell Hooper’s four-event win streak.

Stone Off

As the last event of the Qualifying Stage, the second and third place competitors from each group (based on overall points in the leaderboard) battled head-to-head in an attempt to advance into the Finals. The first place competitors from each group have already secured a berth in the Finals.

Athletes took turns lifting progressively heavier Atlas stones over a bar that separates the competitors, with weights ranging from 140 kilograms (308 pounds) up to 200 kilograms (440 pounds). The final and heaviest weight was performed for reps until one strongman could no longer continue.

The one-on-one showdown determined which five competitors would join Pavlo Kordiyaka, Oleksii Novikov, Mitchell Hooper, Jaco Schoonwinkel, and Trey Mitchell in the Finals. Those athletes were Tom Stoltman, Luke Stoltman, Mathew Ragg, Brian Shaw, and Evan Singleton.

2023 WSM Day One

Competitors began this year’s World’s Strongest Man with a full plate of three events — the loading race, the deadlift machine for reps, and the log ladder.

Loading Race

The loading race challenged the athletes’ blend of strength, endurance, and agility. The competitors were tasked with running as quickly as possible across a four- to six-meter (13- to 19.6-foot) field of sand while loading a series of progressively heavier implements onto an elevated platform.

The event was capped with a 90-second time limit. The implements included two stacks of bundled logs (106 kilograms/234 pounds and 114.7 kilogram/253 pounds), a 124.7-kilogram (275-pound) anvil, a 120.2-kilogram (265-pound) sandbag, and a 120.2-kilogram (265-pound) “Husafell” sandbag.

Shortly before the first event began, Cheick “Iron Biby” Sanou withdrew from the contest for reasons undisclosed at the time of this article’s publication. He was replaced by Icelandic athlete Kristjan Jon Haraldsson.

  6. Jean-Stephen Corabeouf — 3 implements, 40.63 seconds

Deadlift Machine

Competitors had 75 seconds to perform as many repetitions as possible using a specially designed deadlift machine. The weight was increased after each successful repetition: 281 kilograms (619.5 pounds), 298 kilograms (657 pounds), 312 kilograms (687 pounds), 329 kilograms (725 pounds), 345 kilograms (760 pounds), 362 kilograms (798 pounds), and 379 kilograms (835.5 pounds).

If the athlete was capable, they were allowed to continue performing repetitions with the seventh (maximum) weight until time ran out.

Log Ladder

The first day of competition concluded with a staple event in many strongman contests — the log ladder. Testing their upper body strength, athletes worked their way through five progressively heavier logs, one repetition at a time, within a 75-second time limit.

Competitors were presented with a series of five fixed-weight logs. They were allowed as many attempts as needed to successfully put the log overhead. After one complete repetition, they progressed to the next weight: 124 kilograms (275 pounds), 140 kilograms (310 pounds), 158 kilograms (350 pounds), 170 kilograms (375 pounds), and 181 kilograms (400 pounds).

2023 WSM Competitor Withdrawals

While 30 men qualified to enter this year’s WSM, unexpected scenarios can occur. Any competitor withdrawals during the course of the competition will be noted here.

  • Cheick “Iron Biby” Sanou — Withdrew before the first event of Qualifying Stage Day One. No official reason declared. Replaced by Kristjan Jon Haraldsson.
  • Jaco Schoonwinkel — Withdrew after attempting Max Dumbbell on the second day of Finals. Unconfirmed injury.

How Strongman is Scored

Scoring points in competitive strongman events relates to the overall field of competitors. First place can earn as many points as there are competitors, and points descend accordingly.

In the Qualifying stage, athletes can earn a maximum of six points because there are six athletes in each group. First place earns six points; second places earns five, and so on. In the Finals, there will be 10 competitors in total, so first place receives 10 points; second receives nine; third eight; and so on.

In the event of any tied scores, points are split evenly. If two athletes tie for second, for example, the second and third place points are added together and divides by two. For example, in the WSM Finals, if two athletes tie for second place, they would each earn 8.5 points — nine plus eight divided by two.

How to Watch the 2023 World’s Strongest Man

Admission is free for fans attending in person at Burroughs & Chapin Pavilion Place in Myrtle Beach, SC, and gates open to the public at 7 a.m. Eastern time. There will be a fan festival area and a general admission viewing area for spectators.

Unfortunately, for those who wish to watch the 2023 WSM at home, viewing it live is impossible. In the U.S., CBS Sports Network will air the 2023 WSM beginning on May 28, 2023. In the UK, the 2023 WSM will air on Channel 5 in December. In the meantime, the 2023 WSM’s various social media platforms, including YouTube and Instagram, will feature behind-the-scenes coverage while 15-time WSM athlete Terry Hollands conducts interviews with the competitors.
