This week the strength<\/a> sports world will learn the identity of the strongest man on the planet.<\/p>\n

The 45th edition of the World’s Strongest Man (WSM) began on Tuesday, May 24, 2022. As usual, the most prestigious competition in strongman began with a bang during the first part of the Qualifying Round at the Capitol Mall in Sacramento, CA. <\/p>\n

In this leg of the competition, the 30-person roster of athletes<\/a> had to tackle the Loading Race and the Deadlift<\/a> Ladder while divided up into their five respective qualifying groups. Here’s where the leaderboard<\/a> stands after Day One, along with a short recap of how each athlete fared in the first events of the contest. <\/p>\n

2022 WSM Day One Results<\/h2>\n

Here are the results from each Group, including each athlete\u2019s individual finishes, corresponding time, and placing within the Loading Race and Deadlift Ladder events. <\/p>\n

Loading Race Recap<\/h2>\n

The day\u2019s first event saw competitors completing a loading race where they had to travel eight meters while carrying five separate implements \u2014 a 220-pound \u201ccannonball\u201d Atlas Stone, a 265-pound keg, a 275-pound anvil, and two Rogue sandbags weighing just under 300 pounds each. Reigning WSM champion Tom Stoltman won his group, while Mitchell Hooper, Oleksii Novikov, Martin Licis, and Luke Stoltman all also had strong first-place showings in their respective groups. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Evan Singleton suffered an injury during the event and had to withdraw from the competition, marking the third consecutive year he was unable to finish the WSM (a torn biceps ended his 2020 run, and he caught a stomach virus in \u201921).<\/p>\n

            Deadlift Ladder Results<\/h2>\n

            The deadlift ladder tests strength, endurance<\/a>, and will. The respective competitors had to perform one deadlift using five progressively heavier barbells \u2014 300 kilograms (660 pounds),  320kg (705 pounds), 340kg (750 pounds), 360kg (795 pounds), and 380kg (840 pounds). Tom Stoltman again came out on top in his group, while Hooper, Novikov, Licis, and L. Stoltman all kept a relative pace by doing the same. <\/p>\n

            Shane Flowers had a cast applied to his foot and ankle after his final deadlift attempt, possibly related to an injury initiated after the Loading Race event earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

            Group 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n

                      Day Two Is Next<\/h2>\n

                      This year’s WSM is only getting ramped up, and there’s still plenty to sort through before the weekend’s Finals on Saturday, May 28 to Sunday, May 29, 2022. Wednesday’s Qualifying Round events will see the respective athletes strap a Volkswagen Bug to their shoulders during the Car Walk and challenge their overhead strength with the Log Lift. It should undoubtedly be another tight race to keep a close eye on. <\/p>\n
