The 2023 World’s Strongest Man competition is taking place from April 19-23 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. However, the biggest Strongman competition was divided into two parts, the Qualifying and the Finals. The first two days were the qualifiers, followed by one day of rest, and then two days of Finals. Now that the qualifiers are over, we know which ten athletes will compete for the prestigious title in the finals.
The qualifying stage of the 2023 World’s Strongest Man contest consisted of six events evenly divided across the two days. Those events were: Loading Race, Deadlift Machine, Log Ladder, Conan’s Wheel, Kettlebell Toss, and Stone-Off. However, the Stone-Off was only for a selected few athletes.
The path to the finals of the 2023 World’s Strongest Man can have two routes. The first step was to become an overall winner in any of the groups. So, half of the 2023 World’s Strongest Man finals lineup qualified directly.
The other way to qualify for the 2023 World’s Strongest Man finals was to emerge victorious in a Stone-Off duel. However, only the second-place and third-place finisher from each group was able to compete in this event. After that, they faced off against each other to lift and toss the Atlas Stone. The first person who couldn’t win lost. The winner moved on to the final round, while the loser’s campaign ended there.

A simple look at the 2023 World’s Strongest Man finals lineup gives a good picture of what the second portion of the competition will look like. Seemingly a perfect balance between experienced athletes and young talent is sure to be an exciting clash.
It is hard to predict who could win the competition, since someone like Brian Shaw dedicated more time to preparing for the finals than for the qualifying round. Therefore, his performance in the qualifying rounds does not necessarily reflect his performance in the finals.
However, an interesting potential winner could be Mitchell Hooper. Inspired by his victory at the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic, Mitchell Hooper won four out of the five events in his qualifying group.
It is also hard to rule out the 2023 Europe’s Strongest Man, Pavlo Kordiyaka, who was in a group with the 2x reigning WSM champion, Tom Stoltman, and still beat everyone. Speaking of Tom, he will definitely not give up his title without a fight.
Another Ukrainian has impressed everyone in qualifying and that is Oleksii Novikov. The 2020 WSM champion already knows what it takes to win, which is why his qualifying campaign was very calculated. He did not waste a drop of energy that wasn’t needed, leaving everything for the finals.
Of course, a surprise from other athletes in the lineup is also a realistic possibility, since many of them exceeded everyone’s expectations already.
