Author: The World's Strongest Man 2019, the biggest strongman competition in the world , took place from 13th to 16th June 2019 . They were divided into 5 groups, from which the best two advanced to the final clash. So there were 10 competitors in the finals.
Tom Stoltman
Mateusz KIELISZKOWSKI
Martins Licis
JF Caron
Konstantine Janashia
Luke Stoltman
Hafthor Bjornsson
Brian Shaw
Trey Mitchell
Adam Bishop
Most strongman fans expected a giant to defend last year's title - Thor Hafthor Bjornsson. However, he was injured during the competition and was partially limited. However, he deserves great admiration, because despite his injury, he continued until the last discipline. Third place will probably be a disappointment for him, because before the race he was on his social media saying, "17 days... Are you ready? I feel better and stronger than ever. I'm ready."
In silver position was the young Polish strongman Mateusz KIELISZKOWSKI, who was unable to move on and so, just as he did at last year's The World's Strongest Man, won the silver medal.
The gold medal and the new champion was strongman Martins Licis!
