World's Ultimate Strongman was an annual strongman competition which was held from 2018 to 2021 with the participation of top strongmen from all over the world, determining who is the strongest man in the world. The event was noted for its brute-strength-centricity and expanded the sport to a wider audience outside of Europe and USA. It also introduced the 'feats of strength' series in 2020, ensuring the continuous expansion of the sport during the Covid-19 pandemic. The competition had a number of rival and parallel competitions, including the World's Strongest Man, the Arnold Strongman Classic, Rogue Invitational, Strongest Man on Earth and the Giants Live Tour.
The most recent World's Ultimate Strongman champion is Oleksii Novikov. Oleksii Novikov holds the record with 2 titles (2021). The series has run 4 editions (2018 - 2021).
