As the sun rose on day two of the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic, the excitement in the air was palpable. The athletes have had a chance to rest and recover overnight, but they knew that the remaining events were designed to test them in new and challenging ways. So, after they completed every event, Mitchell Hooper came out on top and became the new 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic champion, winning $80,000.

As day two of the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic began, the athletes geared up for three exciting events: Max Deadlift, Unspunnen Stone Throw, and Timber Carry. Starting off strong, Bobby Thompson earned the win on the deadlifts. Moving on to the second event, Mateusz Kieliszkowski proved that he is back for good, throwing the Unspunnen Stone like it weighed nothing. Finally, Mateusz took another win in the Timber Carry.

The competition has been on day one as well, with Mateusz Kieliszkowski winning the first event, the Wheel of Pain, and Trey Mitchell taking first place in the second event, the Austrian Oak.

Mitchell Hooper won the race, but the battle for other podium spots was fierce as well. In the end, Mateusz Kieliszkowski got silver, while Bobby Thompson stood on the third place spot.

Final Day

Max Deadlift

The Max Deadlift was the next event of the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic, and was performed using an Elephant bar. The Elephant bar is a specialized bar that is longer than a standard barbell and is designed to make the lift more complicated. It has been a staple event in the sport of Strongman for many years now and it still continues to be one of the ultimate strength tests.

The first event of the second day was very unpredictable, as multiple athletes were in contention for maximum points, but Bobby Thompson came out on top with an incredible lift of 447 kilograms.

Unspunnen Stone Throw

The fourth event is the Unspunnen Stone Throw, which involves throwing an 84-kilogram stone for distance. The Unspunnen Stone is a traditional Swiss stone that is used in a variety of competitions. The competitors will have to use their entire body to throw the stone as far as possible. All participants have three attempts, with only their best one counting.

Mateusz Kieliszkowski once again came out on top, throwing the stone for a distance of 3.47 meters. The feat Mateusz accomplished shows that his comeback is in full swing and that anyone facing him will be in for a tough time.

Finishing in an unexpected second place was Tom Evans, the most inexperienced athlete in the roster. However, Tom will most definitely become one of the household names in the future. 

Rounding up the top three, Mitchell Hooper continued putting up very consistent performances and took over the overall number one spot. 

  • Mateusz Kieliszkowski — 3.47 meters
  • Tom Evans — 3.23 meters
  • Mitchell Hooper — 3.19 meters
  • Pavlo Nakonechnyy — 3.15 meters
  • Bobby Thompson — 3.04 meters
  • Tom Stoltman — 2.96 meters
  • Luke Stoltman — 2.81 meters
  • Trey Mitchell — 2.71 meters
  • Rob Kearney — 2.46 meters
  • Kevin Faires — 2.07 meters

The Timber Carry involved carrying a large wooden frame which had a weight of 400 kilograms over a distance of 11 meters. The time cap for this event is 30 seconds.

The Timber Carry looked like a perfect event for Mateusz Kieliszkowski, as his grip strength and quickness are unmatched. He finished the course in just 8:35 seconds, wrapping up the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic. 

Kevin Faires finished in second place by finishing 5 seconds behind Mateusz, while Mitchell  Hooper got third, finishing with a time of 14:61 seconds.
