The 2022 WSM contest comes to a close after three more events in the second, and last, day of Finals. Classic strongman events, raw strength, and deep willpower were the highlights of the exciting day.<\/p>\n

Oleksii Novikov came into the day with a narrow two-point lead over last year\u2019s champion Tom Stoltman, putting them in the most likely contention for the top spot. Licis, Mitchell, and Hooper were close behind in a tough battle to make the podium. Shaw, Luke Stoltman, Boudreault, Rheaume, and Melsted continued to battle for points despite not having any clear path to victory.<\/p>\n

2022 WSM Day Five Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Bus Pull, Reign Total Body Fuel Power Stairs, and Atlas Stones were the contestants final chances to rise through the ranks and work toward victory. The results would shake up the finalists to determine the eventual winner.<\/p>\n

Bus Pull Results<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The bus pull is one of the more visually impressive events in any WSM contest. This year, competitors were harnessed to a Sacramento transit bus, weighing 40,000 pounds, and pulled the vehicle down the length of the 30-meter (98-foot) course as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Hooper put up a respectable time, considering it was his first-ever vehicle pulling event, but Novikov turned in yet another dominant performance to secure a win for the round. Four-time WSM champion Brian Shaw\u2019s fourth place finish in this crucial event all-but-ensured he wouldn’t see his fifth title this year, as the overall points gap became too large.<\/p>\n

    Reign Total Body Fuel Power Stairs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    In this grip and lower-body intensive event, competitors needed to lift three 226-kilogram (500-pound) blocks up three large steps in the shortest time. One block on one step counted as a single rep, for a total of nine potential reps.<\/p>\n
