The strongman’s tradition of ending with Atlas Stones continued in Charleston, WV, at the 2023 Official Strongman Games (OSG) on Dec. 3, 2023. The top 10 competitors entering the final day of competition were given 60 seconds to lift six Atlas stones to their respective pedestals in order from lightest to heaviest. The fastest times determined the winners. Athletes who were unable to load all six stones were scored based on the time of their last successfully loaded stone.
