2023 World’s Strongest Man Roster
The 2023 WSM might be the ultimate WSM contest for four-time WSM champion (2011, 2013, 2015-2016) Brian Shaw and longtime competitor Mark Felix. Tom Stoltman is the two-time reigning champion (2021-2022). On the time of this text’s publication, Shaw and Stoltman are the one current or former WSM champions on the roster. Past winners like Oleksii Novikov (2020) haven’t yet been confirmed. Nonetheless, such a slate potentially paints the image of a latest era for the game of strongman.
