The Stoltman Brothers
The Stoltman Brothers have taken over strongman and turned into two of the best in the world. Tom Stoltman is the reigning World’s Strongest Man while Luke Stoltman won last year’s Europe’s Strongest Man competition. They will both be participating at the Arnold Strongman Classic and will continue to dominate.
Brian Shaw
Shaw began this event in 2020 and Shaw was victorious. This is one of many victories he has compiled over the years. Shaw is one of the biggest names in strongman and has plenty of records to his name over the years. He has won the World’s Strongest Man competition four times. In 2011, Shaw became the first competitor to win the WSM and Arnold Strongman Classic in the same year and did it once again in 2015.
Konstantine Janashia
Janashia has become a force in Georgia and is known as the “Georgia Bull.” He has won the Georgia’s Strongest Man competition five times in a row. This is in addition to many top finishes at competitions he enters. Janashia is a dark-horse competitor entering the Shaw Classic and has a chance to take home the prize.
Zydrunas Savickas
Big Z has been a force in strongman for over a decade now. He thrives in the log lift and has set many records. Savickas still has plenty to offer despite being one of the longest-tenured athletes. He is considered by some to be the best strength athlete of all-time. He has a chance to add another title to his resume in this one.
