2022 WSM Day Four Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Competitors entered the first day of Finals in their chance to secure a grasp on the title. While each Qualifying round tested two events per day, the Finals will push the competitors harder with three events each day, beginning with the KNAACK Giant\u2019s Medley, Deadlift, and Flintstone Barbell.<\/p>\n

KNAACK Giant\u2019s Medley Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The competitors were challenged with carrying two separate KNAACK-sponsored 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. Competitors then had to immediately carry a 455kg (1,000-pound) yoke through the full course. As a medley, the entire event was performed to achieve the quickest time.<\/p>\n

After the event, Brian Shaw was heard joking that the 1,000-pound yoke was \u201ctoo light\u201d \u2014 something only a four-time WSM champ could say.<\/p>\n

    Deadlift<\/strong><\/h2>\n

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

    Oleksii Novikov put up a commanding performance, ignoring a simple nosebleed, to win the event with a solid 15 reps.<\/p>\n
