Lineups Overview
Team UK
The captain of Team UK needs little introduction, since he is one of the biggest personalities in the history of Strongman. Eddie Hall got famous by winning the 2017 World’s Strongest Man competition and becoming the first man to deadlift 500 kilograms (1,102.3 pounds) in 2016.
Tom Stoltman is also a member of Team UK and a 2x WSM champion. So he is probably the greatest athlete in the entire lineup. Moreover, Tom’s brother, Luke Stoltman, is also a member of Team UK. Luke’s most notable result is winning the 2021 Europe’s Strongest Man competition.
Mark Felix and Gavin Bilton are the two men who make up the other two spots on Team UK. Mark is a legend of Strongman in his own way, with most people recognizing him for his grip strength. Gavin Bilton, however, is currently in the best shape of his life, having recently claimed his first international victory.
The women of Team UK are nothing less impressive than the men, as the first out of the four is Donna Moore, the 3x World’s Strongest Woman. Another WSW Champion and a member of Team UK is Andrea Thompson. She is also known for her incredible overhead strength, having held the Log Lift World Record in the past.
Team UK also boasts the greatest female deadlifter in the world, as Lucy Underdown will be taking part in the 2023 World’s Strongest Nation competition. The final athlete, but no less important than the others, is Rebecca Roberts. Rebecca held the WSW title in 2021, but she was recently also crowned as the 2023 UK’s Strongest Woman.

Team USA
Similar to Team UK, the captain of Team USA is also a former World’s Strongest Man champion. Martins Licis won the competition in 2019, but he had also gotten some other impressive results, like winning competitions like Arnold Strongman Classic and Rogue Invitational.
While Team UK turned to athletes with a great history, Team USA has chosen the path of picking athletes who are currently in incredible shape. So, the first one is Trey Mitchell, the 2x Shaw Classic champion and 2023 North America’s Strongest Man. Another man currently in shape is Evan Singleton, who recently outperformed two WSM champions to win the 2023 Giants Live Strongman Classic.
They will be accompanied by two more men, the first being the Grip King, Kevin Faires. The other man is Spenser Remick, who made his way onto the biggest stage by winning the 2022 Official Strongman Games.
The women’s side of Team USA features Victoria Long, the 2x Arnold Strongwoman Classic champion. The next big name is Inez Carrasquillo, who recently set a brand new Log Lift World Record.
Speaking of record-breakers, Gabi Dixson returns to Team USA after a sensational performance at the 2022 World’s Strongest Nation competition. At that competition, Gabi took part in the Hercules Hold event and outperformed all women and men except Mark Felix.
The final woman that will make an appearance at the 2023 World’s Strongest Nation is Nadia Stowers, also known as the 2x U82KG World’s Strongest Woman.

The 2023 World’s Strongest Nation competition will feature an incredible lineup, since it seems that there are really no weak links in either team. Last year’s competition proved to be very interesting to watch. So, now that everyone knows what to expect, it should be even better for all athletes and viewers involved.
