p.m. Eastern time. While unconfirmed, it is anticipated there will once again be six groups of five competitors each. Hollands will conduct the group announcement in front of a live audience in Myrtle Beach and it will be livestreamed.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the events and their scheduling for the 2023 WSM: <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2023 World&#8217;s Strongest Man Events Schedule<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"qualifying-stage-day-one\">Qualifying Stage Day One<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Event One<\/strong>:<strong> Loading Race&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 April 19 | 8 a.m., Sand Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Two: <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/deadlift\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"236592\">Deadlift<\/a> Machine&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 April 19 | 11:29 a.m., Land Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Three:&nbsp;Log Ladder <\/strong>\u2014 April 19 | 4:49 p.m., Sand Stage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"qualifying-stage-day-two\">Qualifying Stage Day Two<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Event Four<\/strong>: <strong>Conan\u2019s Wheel&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 April 20 | 8 a.m., Land Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Five:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/best-kettlebell-exercises\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"236593\">Kettlebell<\/a>&nbsp;Toss&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 April 20 | 1:20 p.m., Sand Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Six:&nbsp;Stone Off <\/strong>\u2014 April 20 | 6:13 p.m., Land Stage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Rest Day \u2014 April 21, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-day-one\">Final Day One<\/h3>\n<p>Just 10 strongmen will advance to the Final after the Qualifying Round. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Event One<\/strong>: <strong>Fingal&#8217;s Fingers<\/strong> \u2014 April 22 | 8 a.m., Street Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Two: KNAACK Deadlift&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 April 22 | 10:41 a.m., Sand Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Three: Reign Shield Carry&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 April 22 | 2:18 p.m., Street Stage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"final-day-two\">Final Day Two<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Event Four: Max<\/strong> <strong>Dumbbell<\/strong> \u2014 April 23 | 8 a.m., Land Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Five: Vehicle Pull&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2014 April 23 | 10:10 a.m., Street Stage<\/li>\n<li><strong>Event Six:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/rhianon-lovelace-atlas-stone-one-motion-264-pounds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"236594\">Atlas Stones<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 April 23 | 1:54 p.m., Sand Stage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Stoltman&#8217;s &#8220;three-peat&#8221; pursuit aside, there are other notable storylines to watch at the 2023 WSM. <\/p>\n<p>For example, four-time WSM champion (2011, 2013, 2015-2016) Brian Shaw <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/brian-shaw-last-appearance-2023-worlds-strongest-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"236595\">will compete in his last-ever WSM<\/a>. Long-time WSM competitor Mark Felix will also be putting a bow on his WSM career. The 2023 WSM will mark the athlete&#8217;s 18th appearance at the contest. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, other potential bona fide WSM contenders include Mitchell Hooper. The Canadian athlete has won four of his last five strongman contests and blitzed the 2022 WSM in his debut by qualifying for the Final. <a data-lasso-id=\"236596\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/oleksii-novikov-lat-injury-2023-europes-strongest-man-worlds-strongest-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Even while nursing a lat muscle injury<\/a>, Oleksii Novikov will be someone to watch, too. Novikov has qualified for the podium in 15 straight competitions dating back to July 2021. Aside from Shaw and the defending champion Stoltman, Novikov is the only other former WSM winner (2020) in the field.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sbi-embed-wrap\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media sbi-embed\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cq-iE_kODps\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
