World's Strongest Man 2022 | List of competitors

The World's Strongest Man competition is a hot topic again after a year. Next week (24-29 May), the prestigious World's Strongest Man competition will take place in Sacramento, California, USA. This year, World's Strongest Man will be broadcast on WSM's Facebook and YouTube channels, where you will be able to watch the online broadcast.

Many great competitors were invited to this show including winners of previous years - Tom Stoltman, Oleksii Novikov and Martins Licis. Let's see if the race will be dominated by some of the past winners or if someone new will enter the history of the strongest men in the world. Polish strongman Matuesz Kieliszkowski will be missing from the race and will be replaced by Grzegorz Szymanski.
