With few opportunities to score significant points, the odds shifted as some athletes appeared to be in a more advantageous position than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sc-namejump-anchor10max-dumbbell\"><a id=\"10\" class=\"linkj\"><\/a>Max Dumbbell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first event of the contest&#8217;s conclusion was the max dumbbell \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u2014 a World Record weight), and 155 kilograms (342 pounds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eliminated 2023 WSM competitor <a data-lasso-id=\"243770\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/2023-worlds-strongest-man-day-two-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mateusz Kieliszkowski<\/a> 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&#8217;s lift was an unofficial record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly after beginning the event, Jaco Schoonwinkel appeared to suffer an injury during his first lift. Details were unconfirmed, but the athlete was taken away to be examined by on-site medical staff. Being unable to continue, <strong>Schoonwinkel withdrew from the competition<\/strong>. This was an unfortunate end to the South African athlete&#8217;s first WSM appearance. He made an impressive debut, earning a spot in the Finals by outscoring his group in the Qualifying Round \u2014 a field which included four-time WSM champion Brian Shaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\"  data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CrYkMPuLiLf\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The Atlas stones have been the concluding event of WSM Finals for 22 of the last 24 WSM contests, cementing it as a clear staple of the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competitors ran through the series of five stones, loading as many as possible onto a 50-inch high platform as quickly as possible within the 60-second time limit. The stones ascended in weight: 150 kilograms (330 pounds), 160 kilograms (350 pounds), 180 kilograms (395 pounds), 200 kilograms (440 pounds), and 210 kilograms (460 pounds).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the defending WSM champion Tom Stoltman won the event, second place finisher <strong>Mitchell Hooper has become the 2023 World&#8217;s Strongest Man<\/strong> based on the point standings at the end of the five-day competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Tom Stoltman<\/strong> \u2014 5 stones, 33.26 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><strong>Mitchell Hooper<\/strong><\/strong> \u2014 5 stones, 36.96 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Trey Mitchell<\/strong> \u2014 5 reps, 45.72 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oleksii Novikov<\/strong> \u2014 4 reps, 27.43 seconds <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evan Singleton<\/strong> \u2014 4 reps, 28.16 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brian Shaw<\/strong> \u2014 4 stones, 35.88 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pavlo Kordiyaka<\/strong> \u2014 4 stones, 45.86 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Luke Stoltman<\/strong> \u2014 4 stones, 48.49 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mathew Ragg<\/strong> \u2014 4 stones, 49.5 seconds<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Jaco Schoonwinkel<\/strong> \u2014 <em>Withdrawn<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2023-wsm-day-three\">2023 WSM Day Three<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first day of Finals competition began in dramatic fashion. Contest organizers were faced with a challenge no feat of strength could overcome \u2014 thunder, lightning, wind, and rain. The day&#8217;s order of events was shuffled at the last minute, after deciding the first event \u2014 Fingal&#8217;s Fingers \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competitors&#8217; 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&#8217;s Strongest Man title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sc-namejump-anchor7reign-total-body-fuel-shield-carry\"><a id=\"7\" class=\"linkj\"><\/a>Reign Total Body Fuel Shield Carry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a judge&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\"  data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CrWCK-4LLVc\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

\u2014 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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the conclusion of the first day of Finals, Brian Shaw&#8217;s &#8220;Drive for Five&#8221; 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&#8217;s three remaining events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\"  data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CrWk9pBs3oN\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Using a movement similar to a <a data-lasso-id=\"240697\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/kettlebell-swing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kettlebell swing<\/a>, they had 60 seconds to launch as many weights as possible past a 4.5-meter (15-foot) bar set overhead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Konstantine Janashia, the sole Polish competitor in this year&#8217;s WSM, topped the event blasting through all seven weights in 32.44 seconds. Janashia&#8217;s surprise performance, after being mathematically eliminated from the Finals based on points entering the event, interrupted Mitchell Hooper&#8217;s four-event win streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\"><blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\"  data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/CrRQBoZN2I3\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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) &#8220;Husafell&#8221; sandbag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shortly before the first event began, Cheick &#8220;Iron Biby&#8221; Sanou withdrew from the contest for  reasons undisclosed at the time of this article&#8217;s publication.

Unconfirmed injury.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-strongman-is-scored\">How Strongman is Scored<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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 \u2014 nine plus eight divided by two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-watch-the-2023-worlds-strongest-man\">How to Watch the 2023 World&#8217;s Strongest Man<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Admission is free for fans attending in person at Burroughs &amp; Chapin Pavilion Place in Myrtle Beach, SC, and&nbsp;<strong>gates open to the public at 7 a.m. Eastern time<\/strong>.
