The full lineup isn’t set in stone, but it will feature 30 athletes competing in 5 heats of 6 athletes. Beginning in 1977, WSM is a much-anticipated competition where the most prominent and strongest athletes compete through various strongman events for a chance to be crowned World’s Strongest Man.
This year is the second of a three-year contract with the Sacramento Sports Commission. We can’t wait to see it all go down with the action coming in just over four months.
