2022 Arnold Strongman Classic Martins Licis Wins

The 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic results are in, and this competition has been a spectacle as well as a pleasure to watch for all strongman fans around the world. The competition took place in Columbus, Ohio, from March 4-5, 2022. It was a tight race from start to finish, but only one man could prevail and take home the title. 2019 World’s Strongest Man and the 2021 Rogue Invitational Strongman champion Martins Licis is the winner of the 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic, and took home $80,000 of prize money.

The Arnold Strongman Classic did not happen last year because of Covid-19. The last competition was the 2020 ASC, where Hafthor Bjornsson emerged victorious. However, he retired from the sport not long after his infamous 501 kg (1104.5 lbs) deadlift. Currently, Hafthor is preparing for his boxing match against Eddie Hall, which is scheduled for March 19th in Dubai. His retirement from Strongman meant that a brand new winner would be crowned this year.

Day one of the 2022 ASC was extremely suspenseful and was marked by JF Caron’s incredible squat performance and Oleksii Novikov’s domination in the monster dumbbell. However, it was Rob Kearney who took the lead with second-place finishes in both events. 

Three event were left for day two, and the leaderboard drastically changed. Martins Licis won the competition, and once again proved that the consistency is key to success. It seems like he does not have any significant weaknesses, and can perform well in every event.

Max Log Lift

This event was done with an Austrian Oak Log, which is traditional for Strongman. The aim of the event was to lift as much weight as possible. In addition, like in the squat event, every athlete got three attempts.

The first event of the second day was slowed down drastically due to JF Caron’s injury while doing the press. Unfortunately, JF had to withdraw from the competition. Luke Stoltman won the event, and his hopes of a podium finish became realistic once again. 

  1. Luke Stoltman (GBR) – 213 kg (470 lbs) / 10 points
  2. Trey Mitchell (USA) –  209 kg (461 lbs) / 9 points
  3. Bobby Thompson (USA) – 204 kg (450 lbs) / 8 points
  4. Martins Licis (USA) – 200 kg (441 lbs) / 7 points
  5. Rob Kearney (USA) – 191 kg (421 lbs) / 4.5 points
  6. Oleksii Novikov (UKR) – 191 kg (421 lbs) / 4.5 points
  7. Tom Stoltman (GBR) – 191 kg (421 lbs) / 4.5 points 
  8. Maxime Boudreault (CAN) – 191 kg (421 lbs) / 4.5 points
  9. Evgeny Markov (RUS) – 181 kg (399 lbs) / 1.5 points

Timber Carry 

Athletes had to carry a 400 kg (881.8 lbs) timber frame up a 10.7-meter-long ramp (35 feet). If done within the 30-second time cap, the result is measured in seconds. If not successful, then the total covered distance represents the result. 

This was an extremely brutal event for majority of competitors. Only Maxime and Martins were able to carry the frame for the full length. Rob Kearney underperformed, which ruined his chances to win.

  1. Maxime Boudreault (CAN) – 8.41 seconds / 10 points
  2. Martins Licis (USA) – 10.3 seconds / 9 points
  3. Oleksii Novikov (UKR) – 9.4 meters / 8 points
  4. Tom Stoltman (GBR) – 7.98 meters / 7 points
  5. Luke Stoltman (GBR) – 6.53 meters / 6 points
  6. Bobby Thompson (USA) – 5.77 meters / 5 points
  7. Evgeny Markov (RUS) – 4.29 meters / 4 points
  8. Luke Stoltman (GBR) – 6.53 meters / 3 points
  9. Rob Kearney (USA) –  points
  10. Trey Mitchell (USA) – Failed to lift / points

Stone To Shoulder 

The aim of the event is to lift Odd Haugen’s famous “tombstone” from the ground to the shoulder. The stone weighed 186 kg (410 lbs) and while on the shoulder, the stone had to be in a stationary position. The time cap for this exercise was 2 and a half minutes. If the athlete gets the stone to his chest, he will receive 10 event points. However, getting it to the shoulder is worth 100 points.

Despite a great last minute push from Oleksii Novikov, Martins Licis wins the event as the only man to lift the stone to his should twice.

  1. Martins Licis (USA) – 200 / 10 points
  2. Oleksii Novikov (UKR) – 110 / 9 points
  3. Bobby Thompson (USA) – 100 / 8 points
  4. Evgeny Markov (RUS) – 20 / 6.5 points
  5. Luke Stoltman (GBR) – 20 / 6.5 points
  6. Trey Mitchell (USA) – 10 / 5points
  7. Rob Kearney (USA) – 0 / 3 points
  8. Maxime Boudreault (CAN) – 0 / 3 points
  9. Tom Stoltman (GBR) – 0 / 3 points
