Which nation holds the strongest athletes in the world?
Giants live will be throwing the first ever World’s Strongest Nation competition. Set to take place on November 26 at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, England, the event will have two teams, Team UK and Team USA compete against each other to find out which is the strongest nation. A list of top strongman competitors from both nations was recently revealed, as well as the team captains.
Team USA will be led by Robert Oberst, a very prominent and popular athlete in the strongman world. Team UK will be led by the equally popular UK strongman Eddie Hall who was the 2017 World’s Strongest Man. Both men have been named captains of their respective teams and hope to lead their sides to victory.
Both teams will feature both men and women in the lineup. This event will be a major one for several reasons. Not only will it feature the current reigning World’s Strongest Man Tom Stoltman, it will also see Eddie Hall come out of retirement after being away for five years.
