Due to a two-hour inclement weather delay, all the event start times were pushed back accordingly.

Competitors moved back and forth along a 20-meter (65.6-foot) course for as much as they could. <\/p>\n<p>In unfortunate circumstances, controversy may have defined the Reign Total Body Fuel Shield Carry. <a data-lasso-id=\"243752\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/2023-europes-strongest-man-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ukraine&#8217;s Pavlo Kordiyaka<\/a>, who had a legitimate shot at the 2023 WSM podium (and perhaps even more) entering the first day of the Finals, may have lost his opportunity on a debatable penalty for failing to fully cross a boundary line before continuing one lap of his carry. <strong>Kordiyaka would lose a whopping five points and be penalized 19.8 meters of distance<\/strong> from his carry, resulting in a score of 46.59 meters. If not for the penalty, Kordiyaka would&#8217;ve had the overwhelming best distance of all participating finalists. The competitor would leave the stage in apparent disgust after the penalty ruling. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/2023-worlds-strongest-man-day-two-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"243753\">the likely growing WSM favorite<\/a>, <strong>Mitchell Hooper, finished with the best carry of 64.8 meters in Heat 3<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat 1<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/brian-shaw-leg-infection-2023-worlds-strongest-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"243754\">Brian Shaw<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 39.1 meters<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mathew Ragg<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 37.65 meters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat 2<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/strongman-evan-singleton-log-press-407-pounds-biceps-injury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"243755\">Evan Singleton<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 48.3 meters<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/tom-stoltman-luke-stoltman-2023-worlds-strongest-man-event-training\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"243756\">Luke Stoltman<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 44.62 meters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat 3<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Mitchell Hooper<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 64.8 meters<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/tom-stoltman-plans-to-deadlift-505-kilograms-in-2024\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"243757\">Tom Stoltman<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 63.15 meters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat 4<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/2022-shaw-classic-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"243758\">Trey Mitchell<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 50.83 meters<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pavlo Kordiyaka<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 46.59 meters (includes 19.8-meter penalty)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat 5<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/oleksii-novikov-lat-injury-2023-europes-strongest-man-worlds-strongest-man\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-lasso-id=\"243759\">Oleksii Novikov<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 55.87 meters<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jaco Schoonwinkel<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 15.92 meters<\/li>\n<\/ol>\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\/reel\/CrWCK-4LLVc\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The strongmen had the objective of flipping five successive &#8220;fingers&#8221; in one minute. The beams had the approximate size of telephone poles and ranged in these weights as they progressed through the course: 145 kilograms (320 pounds), 154 kilograms (340 pounds), 159 kilograms (350 pounds), 163 kilograms (360 pounds), and 172 kilograms (380 pounds).<\/p>\n<p>Two-time defending WSM champion Tom Stoltman paced ahead of the rest of the competitors \u2014 completing all five fingers nearly three full seconds before his closest competitor \u2014 putting himself in great position for the second half of the Finals on Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Tom Stoltman<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 5 reps, 39.36 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oleksii Novikov<\/strong> \u2014 5 reps, 42.26 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Trey Mitchell<\/strong> \u2014 5 reps, 48.46 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pavlo Kordiyaka<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 5 reps, 48.69 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Evan Singleton<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 5 reps, 49.85 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mitchell Hooper<\/strong> \u2014 5 reps, 49.89 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brian Shaw<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 4 reps, 26.61 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Luke Stoltman<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 4 reps, 32.54 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mathew Ragg<\/strong> \u2014 4 reps, 35.03 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jaco Schoonwinkel<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 1 rep, 40.76 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ol>\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\/reel\/CrWqIvnsgxC\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The Canadian strongman is arguably in the strongest position to win the title and could culminate one of the more meteoric rises over an approximate year that the sport has ever seen.<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s Brian Shaw. On the last day of his WSM career, Shaw could, theoretically, win all three of the last events to capture a legendary fifth title and cap one of the greatest ever runs in strongman. Technically, two-time defending champion Tom Stoltman is still in a position to finish a rare and legendary &#8220;three-peat,&#8221; too. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, as the dust settles, it remains to be seen how Kordiyaka&#8217;s controversial penalty will define the rest of the contest. It might take a Herculean effort to overshadow a ruling that may have cost an athlete a legitimate opportunity at strongman&#8217;s greatest title. <\/p>\n<p>To some, the suspense might be terrible on the last day of the 2023 WSM. To these elite strongmen, they likely hope it lasts. <\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image: Todd Burandt \/ Courtesy of World\u2019s Strongest Man<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/2023-worlds-strongest-man-day-three-results\/\">2023 World\u2019s Strongest Man Day 3 Results \u2014 As a Legend&#8217;s Run Ends, Another Might Be Starting<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\">Breaking Muscle<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just one day remains in the 2023 World\u2019s Strongest Man (WSM).
