First Day — November 12th
The first day of the 2022 World’s Strongest Woman consisted of five events. However, Rhianon Lovelace was not satisfied with how she started a competition, as she got a fifth-place finish in event one (Viking Press). She performed 12 reps of the 75-kilogram (165-pound) overhead press variation, which earned her 5.5 points.
Although she had an improved performance in the second event (100-kg / 220-lb Farmer’s Walk), Rhianon Lovelace got a third-place, which was still short of her ambitions. However, she blew everyone away on the third event (Axle Deadlift), as her 14 reps of 172.5 kilograms (380 pounds) were enough for her first event win.
Utilizing the momentum, Rhianon Lovelace also won the fourth event (Sandbag to Shoulder), since she was the only Strongwoman who was able to lift the final sandbag of 102 kilograms (225 pounds).
Second Day — November 13th
The start of day two saw the fifth event (Car Walk) take place, where Rhianon was the second-fastest in carrying a 267.5-kilogram (590-pound) frame.
Although Rhianon Lovelace put up another mid-table performance in the sixth event (Circus Dumbbell) and placed fifth, she had an enormous lead beforehand, so it didn’t affect her too much. Rhianon then wrapped up her impressive performance, with a win in event seven (Atlas Stones).
