World’s Strongest Man 2023: how to watch strongman competition - list of competitors, results and leaderboard

The World’s Strongest Man2023 competition entered its final day at Myrtle Beach in Southern Carolina as Scottish strongman Tom Stolten, known to many as The Albatross, looked to defend his two year streak as champion. But it was Canadian brute Mitchell Hooper who won this year's competition, which has now met a crescendo.

The global spectacle saw the largest men lift heavier weights than you could ever fathom across a five day period, starting from Wednesday 19 April and coming to a close on Sunday 23 April. It kicked off with two days of qualifying rounds followed by a two-day final, ending with the crowning of this year’s World’s Strongest Man.

Thirty athletes descended on the Palmetto State for the 45th edition of the strongman tournament, but now only 10 remain. There are a host of familiar faces among the field, including Oleksii Novikov (2020 winner), Mark Felix, Bobby Thompson and former professional wrestler Evan Singleton.

Another name set to compete is a previous winner of Europe’s Strongest Man and five-time Scotland’s Strongest Man, Luke Stoltman, who is the older brother of reigning World’s Strongest Man Tom Stolten. This marks the first time ever in the competition’s history that two brothers have made it to the finals.
