The 2021 World’s Strongest Man event line-up has been revealed.
It looks like this year’s World’s Strongest Man competition will be changing things up. Set to take place in Sacromento, California, the 2021 World’s Strongest Man event line-up has been revealed with some two brand new additions. It appears that two events, the first-ever Titan’s Turntable and Train Pull, have been added to the line-up.
The Titan’s Turntable will see competitors pushing an antique locomotive 180 degrees. Competitors will also be expected to pull that very same train down a track. The two new events are sure to bring some added intrigued to the competition and push the athletes to new levels.
The last show that took place in California was held in Los Angeles and saw Zydrunas Savickas take home his fourth World’s Strongest Man title. Hafthor Bjornsson would come in second at the show, while Brian Shaw took third.
Now with new blood like Oleksii Novikov on the scene ready to carve out a new legacy, the 2021 WSM is sure to be a hot ticket. What better place to hold the event than in California.
World’s Strongest Man announced a multi year deal with the Visit Sacramento Sports Commission. This new deal with the VSSC will see the WSM competition take place in Sacramento, California in 2021, 2022, and a third date yet to be disclosed.
The competition will take place June 15-20 and will once again air on CBS Sports Network and CBS Television in the U.S. at a later date.
