About 2002 World's Strongest Woman

Strongman competitions test athletes across multiple events in a single contest, combining static strength, moving events, and endurance challenges. Results are typically scored using a points-based system where athletes earn placements in each event, and the overall winner is determined by the lowest cumulative score or highest total points.

Competition pages include full event breakdowns, individual athlete performances, and historical context for each contest. Whether you're researching World's Strongest Man finals, Arnold Strongman Classic results, or regional qualifiers, our database covers thousands of competitions from the sport's history.

Frequently Asked Questions

Points are awarded per event based on each athlete's placement. The athlete with the highest total points (or lowest cumulative placement score, depending on the format) across all events wins the overall competition. Some contests use head-to-head formats or last-man-standing rounds in finals.
All competition data is compiled from multiple verified sources including official federation records, competition organizer data, and historical archives.
