2022 WSM Day Five<\/h2>\n

After the first round of Finals, competitors had a clear idea of where they stood and how much extra focus and determination were needed to secure a win. The final three events, and last opportunities to score points, were classic WSM events \u2014 the bus pull, the Reign Total Body Fuel Power Stairs, and the Atlas Stones.<\/p>\n

Bus Pull Results<\/h2>\n

The bus pull is one of the more visually impressive events in any WSM contest. This year, competitors were harnessed to a Sacramento transit bus, weighing 40,000 pounds, and pulled the vehicle down the length of the 30-meter (98-foot) course as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

        2022 WSM Day Four<\/h2>\n

        After a full day’s rest yesterday, the Top 10 competitors entered the first day of Finals with three massive events scheduled. The KNAACK Giant’s Medley tested strength, endurance, and agility. The classic deadlift<\/a> was a straightforward test of pulling strength. The Flintstone barbell, making a long-awaited return to the WSM contest, tested overhead pressing strength.<\/p>\n

        KNAACK Giant’s Medley Results<\/h2>\n

        The competitors were challenged with carrying two separate KNAACK industrial tool storage lockers, each filled with 125 kilograms (276 pounds), on a trip halfway down a 20-meter (66-foot) course and back to the start. They then had to immediately carry a 455-kilogram (1,000-pound) yoke through the full course. As a medley, the entire event is performed to achieve the quickest time.<\/p>\n

          Deadlift Results<\/h2>\n

          The finalists are performing arguably the most relatable event for spectators \u2014 a 360kg (794-pound) deadlift for maximum reps in 75 seconds.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Oleksii Novikov <\/strong>\u2014 15 reps<\/li>\n

            Flintstone Barbell Results<\/h2>\n

            The Flintstone barbell is an overhead press event, with the competitors needing to lift six progressively heavier bars loaded with primitive stones rather than weight plates. The weights progress 175kg (385 pounds), <\/span>190kg (420 pounds), 200kg (440 pounds), 212kg (470 pounds), 221kg (490 pounds), and finally 230kg (510 pounds).<\/span><\/p>\n

            In an unexpected turn of events, organizers needed to add additional rounds to continue challenging the top competitors. Extra rounds with 240kg (530 pounds) followed by 245kg (540 pounds) were needed to determine the decisive winner.<\/p>\n
