2024 World’s Strongest Man Lineup Overview
While it is nearly impossible to predict the 2024 World’s Strongest Man winner at this point due to multiple reasons, including the group seedings in the qualifiers, there are a few notable athletes who always battle for the title.
The first one is the defending WSM champion, Mitchell Hooper, who has taken the sport by storm in just two years of competing at the highest stage. The Canadian has won numerous elite shows, including the 2023 & 2024 Arnold Strongman Classic, as well as the 2023 Rogue Invitational. So, Hooper will clearly be the favorite for the 2024 WSM once again.
His biggest rival at the moment seems to be Tom Stoltman. The Scottish Strongman has a history of success at the WSM, having won the show in 2021 and 2022. Moreover, he is looking bigger and stronger than ever before, and is hopeful of reclaiming his WSM title.
Evan Singleton secured a career-high fifth place finish at the 2023 WSM, but clearly remained hopeful of an even better placing in the future. He is definitely someone who has the capability of beating anyone when things align well for him.
All other athletes at the 2024 World’s Strongest Man competition are spectacular as well, especially since small details often separate multiple athletes. So, depending on the events that take place, anything could happen at the 2024 WSM.
