2023 Arnold Strongman Classic Results

The 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic is taking place in Columbus, Ohio, from March 3-4, attracting 10 of the strongest and most talented athletes from around the world. The competition consists of five events that challenge the competitors’ strength, endurance, and agility. Despite the absence of the defending champion, Martins Licis, the event was highly anticipated, with fans eager to see who would come out on top. So, starting off strong, the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic day one features the Wheel Of Pain and the Austrian Log events. So, Trey Mitchell finished day one in first place.

After enduring the grueling Wheel of Pain, Mateusz Kieliszkowski won the first event and is now eager to excel in today’s second event. Despite narrowly winning the first event, he was able to open his performance with the maximum number of points possible. Mateusz has been suffering from numerous injuries during the last two years, but gave us a moment to remember, winning his first event back.

However, Mateusz Kieliszkowski could not hold on to his lead in the second event, as Trey Mitchell excelled in the Austrian Oak. His win, alongside the second-place finish from event one, were enough to give him the overall lead at the end of day one. While everything is still possible, Trey has placed himself into a really comfortable position going into the second day.

Day One, March 3rd

Wheel of Pain

The first event of the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic was the Wheel of Pain, which had a 60-second time limit. The Wheel of Pain is notorious for being one of the most painful and difficult events in the sport of Strongman. The athletes had to lift and carry the wheel’s beam for as far as they could within the time limit. The event required incredible leg and core strength and was a true test of endurance.

The 2x Shaw Classic champion, Trey Mitchell, also proved that he came to battle for the title, as he narrowly lost to Mateusz and finished in second. Trailing Trey by one meter was Mitchell Hooper, who placed third

Austrian Oak

The second event was the Austrian Oak, which had a 90-second time limit and a weight of 195 or 175 kilograms. The Austrian Oak is a thick wooden log that was used for an overhead press for reps. One rep on the heavier log was counted as 100 points. On the other hand, one rep on the lighter log came out to 10 points.

Although everyone thought either Bobby Thompson or Luke Stoltman would win the second event of the day, Trey Mitchell came out and surprised everyone. He was the only athlete to perform four reps with the heavier log, not showing any signs of struggle at all. 

Bobby Thompson and Mitchell Hooper both performed three reps with the heavier log. So, they had to settle with a third place tie. Although they shared points, both men still jumped up the leaderboard.

  • Trey Mitchell — 400 points
  • Mitchell Hooper — 300 points
  • Bobby Thompson — 300 points
  • Rob Kearney — 200 points
  • Mateusz Kieliszkowski — 100 points
