Johansson and Myler Add Major Titles to Their Careers
Johansson entered the competition as a two-time Sweden’s Strongest Man champion, but his victory in Harrogate marked his first international title. The Swedish strongman demonstrated consistency throughout the competition and delivered two event victories to overcome a highly competitive field.
His battle with Ziółkowski was particularly close, with just one point separating the top three finishers in the final standings.
Myler, meanwhile, continued building an impressive strongwoman résumé. The 2025 Masters World’s Strongest Woman champion added another major title after winning three events and finishing on the podium in a fourth.
The 2026 OSG European Championships showcased the depth of talent across both divisions, with Johansson emerging from one of the closest finishes of the weekend and Myler establishing herself as the clear women’s champion.
