Anyone’s Game
While Trey Mitchell is the defending champion, there may very well be some shuffling around on the rostrum.Before his runner-up lead to 2021, Brian Shaw won the 2020 Shaw Classic. Nonetheless, as the competition grows, Shaw has an increasing number of responsibility leading as much as his performance. How the presumed increase in work will affect his performance is unknown.
Plus, with a previous two-time podium finisher JF Caron not a participant in 2022, that leaves a latest opening for the opposite athletes. A newcomer that might make the most is Mitchell Hooper, from Canada, who has recently captured a second-place lead to two straight Giants Live strongman contests. The ambitious Hooper continues to be searching for his first major international victory, and the 2022 Shaw Classic could be an important start.
