2024 Strongwoman Classic Event Results

Below are the results for each Individual event for the Arnold Strongwoman Classic.

Max Elephant Bar Deadlift

Ladies first! The strongwomen competed first on March 1, 2024, and one of the events was the Max Deadlift, which featured athletes establishing their heaviest deadlift in a weightlifting event-style meet. What that means is that athletes with the lighter weight always lifted before an athlete with a heavier attempt, regardless of what attempt they were on.

Victoria Long had a bit of a scary moment when she dropped to the floor with a hamstring injury, a quite unfortunate event. However, Long still managed to secure third-place points off her successful 288-kilogram pull.

1. Lucy Underdown — 302 kilograms
2. Andrea Thompson — 291 kilograms
3. Victoria Long — 288 kilograms
4. Olga Liashchuk — 275 kilograms (T-fourth)
5. Melissa Peacock — 275 kilograms (T-fourth)
6. Hannah Linzay — 273 kilograms
7. Inez Carrasquillo — 259 kilograms
8. Angelica Jardine — 254 kilograms
9. Erin Murray — 252 kilograms
10. Donna Moore — 250 kilograms
11. Rebecca Roberts — 243 kilograms
12. Samantha Belliveau — 234 kilograms

Timber Carry

Though she did not fall, Donna Moore suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury during her Timber Carry attempt and she needed assistance off the wooden incline from the production crew.

Andrew Thompson moved herself closer to the top of the leaderboard at the end of Day One of the Arnold Strongwoman, with a scorching time of 8.43 seconds during her Timber Carry. Rebecca Roberts scored third place in the event, which definitely helped her after 11th in the deadlift earlier in the afternoon.

1. Andrea Thompson — 8.43 seconds
2. Hannah Linzay — 9.53 seconds (T-second)
3. Rebecca Roberts — 9.53 seconds (T-second)

2024 Arnold Strongman Classic Event Results

Below are the results for each Individual event of the 2024 Arnold Strongman Classic.

Max Elephant Bar Deadlift

In the same fashion as the strongwomen, the strongmen attempting to lift lighter weight lifted before those who called for heavier weight, no matter what attempt they were on. At the start of the contest, Hafthór Björnsson held the Elephant Bar deadlift world record with 474 kilograms.

Maxime Boudreault opened the contest with a 352-kilogram attempt, but unfortunately immediately appeared to suffer a left lat injury before the Elephant bar even left the floor. Evan Singleton’s first attempt of 386 kilograms slipped out of his hand, due to his left-hand lifting strap unraveling off the bar. Thankfully, Singleton nailed the immediate follow-up attempt.

Hafthór Björnsson’s first attempt in his much anticipated return to the competitive strongman stage was an easy 420 kilograms, back like he never left. Thompson was the last athlete to make a first attempt successfully of 436 kilograms and that is where he called it.

However, Björnsson came out last for an opening event win with a successful attempt of 456 kilograms, which was his 13th career Arnold Strongman Classic event win; quite the accomplishment.

1. Hafthór Björnsson — 456 kilograms
2. Bobby Thompson — 436 kilograms
3. Mitchell Hooper — 431 kilograms
4. Evan Singleton — 427 kilograms
5. Tom Stoltman — 415 kilograms
6. Oleksii Novikov — 409 kilograms
7. Thomas Evans — 397 kilograms
8. Martins Licis — 391 kilograms
9. Mateusz Kieliszkowski — 388 kilograms
10. Oskar Ziółkowski — 370 kilograms
11. Maxime Boudreault — No Lift

Timber Carry

The Timber Carry was dominated by the 2023 World’s Strongest Man, Mitchell Hooper, who just barely missed a world record time by one-tenth of a second. Similarly, Hafthór Björnsson completed the Timber Carry in a time of 8.4 seconds for a second-place finish to end Day One in first overall, and showing that just because he hasn’t been in the strongman scene for awhile it does not mean he’s lost his touch.

Martin Licis and Mateusz Kieliszkowski moved up the leaderboard a bit, which was good to see after some lackluster Elephant Bar Deadlift performances. Unfortunately for Oleksii Novikov and Thomas Evans, it appeared that they happened to suffer biceps injuries during their Timber Carry attempts, but they did not withdraw right away.

1. Mitchell Hooper — 7.1 seconds
2. Hafthór Björnsson — 8.4 seconds
3. Mateusz Kieliszkowski — 8.69 seconds
4. Martins Licis — 14.81 seconds
5. Evan Singleton — 8.89 meters
6. Tom Stoltman — 8.13 meters
7. Oleksii Novikov — 7.49 meters
8. Oskar Ziółkowski — 4.9 meters
9. Bobby Thompson — 4.01 meters
10. Thomas Evans — 3.99 meters
11. Maxime Boudreault — withdrew

Dinnie Stone Carry

Mitchell Hooper stated at the end of Day One that Day Two would be one of his strongest performances yet. He certainly held up that statement in the Dinnie stones, scoring first-place points.

Hafthór Björnsson continued to prove any doubters of his competitive strongman return wrong, taking second-place in the Dinnie Stones, making him even on the overall leaderboard with Hooper heading into the penultimate event.

1. Mitchell Hooper — 12.6 meters
2. Hafthór Björnsson — 10.72 meters
3. Evan Singleton — 10.62 meters
4. Mateusz Kieliszkowski — 9.73 meters
5. Tom Stoltman — 9.4 meters
6. Oleksii Novikov — 4.04 meters
7. Bobby Thompson — 3.53 meters
8. Martins Licis — 2.79 seconds
9. Thomas Evans — 2.31 meters
10. Oskar Ziółkowski — 0.25 meters
11. Maxime Boudreault — withdrew
