2019 World's Strongest Man

The 2019 World's Strongest Man contest took place in Bradenton, Florida between June 13 and 16. Four time champion Zydrunas Savickas did not take part this year due to injury. Martins Licis of the United States won the competition for the first time in his career. Mateusz Kieliszkowski of Poland finished second for the second year in a row. Defending champion and favourite Hafthor Julius Bjonsson of Iceland finished third; however, it was clear that a torn plantar fascia in his foot that he suffered in the heats significantly hindered his title defence in the final.[1]
