Important Notes
It is worth noting that there have been some changes to the 2020 World’s Strongest Man, and who is competing. After a tough Day One, Ervin Toots withdrew from the competition. Additionally, Gabriel Peña was sent to the hospital with heart issues, after completing the Loading Medley.
Additionally it should be noted that the original tie breaker for second and third place finishers was supposed to be an Atlas Stone-off over a bar. However the decision was made to change it to the 8 stone series instead.
