The list of qualified competitors for the 2021 World’s Strongest Man has been revealed.

2020 was one of the biggest years for the World’s Strongest Man competition. Fan favorites like Brian Shaw and Robert Oberst challenged themselves to achieve greatness at the show. It would be Oleksii Novikov that would prove himself as the top of the food chain. Now the 2021 show is on the horizon and the qualified competitors list has been revealed.

The 2021 World’s Strongest Man will take place in Sacramento, California and feature the best of the best in the strongman sphere.

Amidst the chaos that was 2020, it seemed like all events, big or small, sporting or otherwise were being cancelled left and right. Eventually things got back on track, events once again got underway and those in the sporting world took a breath of relief.

The World’s Strongest Man 2020 took place in Brandenton, Florida. It saw some fresh faces take to the competition with gusto. Ultimately it was the young Oleksii Novikov who took the championship last year.

Here who is qualified for the 2021 show.
