There have been some changes to the 2024 World’s Strongest Man lineup.
The 2024 World’s Strongest Man (WSM) competition is set to take place from May 1-5 in Myrtle Beach, SC. A loaded group of the best Strongmen in the world will gather in one place to see who will take home the most-coveted title in the sport. There has been a shakeup in the lineup over the last few weeks and replacements have been added.
Both Martins Licis and Mateusz Kieliszkowski have withdrawn from the 2024 World’s Strongest Man competition. Licis won the World’s Strongest Man crown in 2019 before suffering some bad luck that kept him out of competition. He was able to return to prominence in 2021 by winning the Rogue Invitational. This year, he is already off to a hot start. Licis won the 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic before taking time off to focus on other ventures in his life.
Kieliszkowski was forced to miss the World’s Strongest Man competition in both 2020 and 2022. Two years ago, he was forced to miss the WSM competition with lower leg problems that did not allow him to train to the level he needed to. 2020 WSM champion Oleksii Novikov also announced that he will not compete in this year’s competition.
There have been three replacements named for the talent that will not compete. They are Kevin Faires, Pa O’Dwyer, and Ondrej Fojtu.
