Mateusz Kieliszkowski will miss the 2022 WSM because of nagging injuries.

Mateusz Kieliszkowski was forced to miss the upcoming 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic with a leg injury. Just one month after the competition, the strongman has announced that he will miss the 2022 World’s Strongest Man competition because of the same injury.

Kieliszkowski explains the reasoning for his withdrawal in an Instagram post. He is recovering from his leg injury and training with heavy weight is not the best way to heal. Kieliszkowski revealed that he will continue to train with light weights in hopes that he can rehab the injury correctly.

“Why i am withdrawn from @theworldsstrongestman ?

Still feel some pain and not comfortable in my leg after injury What i got before Arnold.
Heavy training isnt good method to fix and recovery for body.

I have some power but not enough to compete at the highest level in the world.
The best and the smartest solution for me is to withdraw from the competition.
I dont want risk because dont need bigger injury than i got.
Also, I don’t want to be beaten by everyone because that’s not my style – My goal is only 1st place.

I made many mistakes. I have to be smarter this time because I want my career to be longer.

Now I just need time to heal my body and be 100% healthy and hungry for Victory.

I will continue training but with very light weights.
Also i will use stem cells to help heal and will work more with a physical therapist.
Hope it Will bring good results.

No pressure or stress. Just need Time and be patient.

Success will come one day

greetings,” Mateusz Kieliszkowski wrote.

Mateusz Kieliszkowski continues to speak on his desire to win. He does not want to enter a competition just to show face when he is not 100%. Now, he will work to get back to the top so he can enter his next competition at full strength.

As of now, there is no replacement for Kieliszkowski at the 2022 World’s Strongest Man. The official Instagram page of the event said that there will be updates at a later date.

Mateusz Kieliszkowski began competing in 2014 at the age of 21. He has 10 victories, including five Poland’s Strongest Man titles. He has been apart of the World’s Strongest Man four times and finished second in 2019.

Kieliszkowski was one of the competitors who would have been a contender this time around but he is focused on his health moving forward. This means he will be even more motivated once he can fully heal from this leg injury.
