Event One — Log Lift
For the first event of the 2024 World’s Strongest Woman competition, the women had a choice to make on the Log Lift. Namely, they could either lift the 93-kg (205-lb) or 109-kg (240.3-lb) Log and perform as many reps as possible with it. However, even just one rep with the heavier log beat any number of reps with the lighter log.
