MAY 24-29, 2022
Summary: Thirty of the world’s top strongmen will face off in an epic battle of strength when the World’s Strongest Man returns to Sacramento, Calif. from May 24-29, 2022
The battle for the title of World’s Strongest Man (WSM) begins Tuesday, May 24 at the Capitol Mall in downtown Sacramento, Calif. and culminates on Sunday, May 29 when a champion will be crowned. In partnership with Visit Sacramento, the 45th edition of the World’s Strongest Man competition is free and open to the public, featuring a new Fan Festival area with food trucks, giveaways, as well as a general admission viewing area to catch all the action live.
Thirty of the world’s top strongmen will be pushed to their physical and mental limits with an epic series of events, including the first-ever Deadlift Ladder consisting of a series of incrementally heavier bars ranging between 650 and 750 pounds and a massive Bus Pull, where athletes will pull a brand new Sacramento Regional Transit Bus weighing approximately 40,000 pounds in a race against time.
Athletes slated to compete include the 2021 WSM reigning champion, Tom Stoltman (GBR), who will look to defend his title against his older brother and 2021 European World’s Strongest Man Luke Stoltman (GBR), self-proclaimed ‘World’s Strongest Gay’ Rob Kearney (USA), 2019 World’s Strongest Man champion Martins Licis (USA), 2020 World’s Strongest Man champion Oleksii Novikov (UKR) and four-time World’s Strongest Man champion Brian Shaw (Fort Lupton, Colo., USA) among several others.
