Amidst ongoing triple-digit temperatures in Sacramento, CA, the competitive heat of the 2022 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) continues to charge along. <\/p>\n

On Day One<\/a>, the 30-person roster<\/a> of elite strongmen attempted the Loading Race and Deadlift<\/a> Ladder during the Qualifying Round. On Wednesday, May 25, 2022 \u2014 during the second day of the Qualifying Round \u2014 the remaining competitors had the task of pulling a Volkswagen Bug in the Car Walk and using their overhead strength<\/a> to try and thrive in the Log Lift<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The ensuing results were terrific to watch as the competition builds toward the weekend’s Finals. Here’s where the overall leaderboard stands after Day Two of the 2022 WSM<\/a>, along with a short recap of the athletes’ performances in both events. <\/p>\n

2022 WSM Day Two<\/h2>\n

Wednesday was the perfect time to unveil the Car Walk and Log Lift \u2014 two classic WSM events. Here’s how the competitors fared, and what it might mean for some of them moving forward. <\/p>\n

Car Walk Results<\/h2>\n

The athletes stepped inside a roofless, hollowed-out car constructed around a Yoke bar. For this event, they had to carry the 430-kilogram (950-pound) vehicle 20 meters (66 feet) as fast as they could. <\/p>\n

With a 9.86-second run, Evan Singleton had the fastest time of all competitors on the Car Walk. Meanwhile, Rob Kearney turned in a blazing 11.63-second finish, and newcomer Mitchell Hooper<\/a> blitzed the event in 11.64 seconds to continue his fantastic WSM debut. <\/p>\n

Note: Unfortunately, Shane Flowers withdrew due to an apparent foot or ankle injury sustained during the Loading Race on Day One. While he showed the grit of a champion in completing yesterday\u2019s Deadlift Ladder as well, he was unable to continue competing on Day Two and has withdrawn from his first appearance at the WSM.<\/em><\/p>\n

            Log Lift Results<\/h2>\n

            The Log Lift made its first appearance during the 1980 WSM contest. In this year\u2019s event, competitors had to lift the 145-kilogram (320-pound) log from the ground to an overhead position for as many reps as possible within a 75-second time limit.<\/p>\n

            As the temperature got to 100-plus degrees, the log itself took on heat. It is here where holding the weight for the duration was a challenge for many of the competitors. Event organizers had been keeping the log covered in an attempt to provide shade and make the event the usual test of strength rather than pain tolerance.<\/p>\n

            Maxime Boudreault and Luke Stoltman tied for the best finish on the Log Lift by pressing 10 reps. Oleksii Novikov, Trey Mitchell, Martin Licis, and Pavlo Kordiyaka weren’t far behind with nine reps each. <\/p>\n

                      Day Three Is Next<\/h2>\n

                      As the competition inches closer to the weekend’s Finals, the intensity will likely only increase. With clarity in some groups already carved out, the final day of qualifying on Thursday should make for a tight finish. Those on the borderline still trying to qualify will need every point they can get.<\/p>\n

                      On Day Three, all of the athletes will have to hold a wrecking ball as long as possible in the Wrecking Ball Hold. Then, this year’s WSM will see the first appearance of the Atlas Stones in the Stone-Off as the athletes battle for the last spots in the Finals. <\/p>\n

                      A clutch performance or two from some of the sport’s top contenders potentially awaits. <\/p>\n
