The World's Strongest Man is an international strongman competition held every year. Organized by American event management company IMG, a subsidiary of Endeavor, it is broadcast in the US during summers and in the UK around the end of December each year.[1] Competitors qualify based on placing in the top three at the four to eight Giants Live events each year. The current event sponsor is SBD Apparel.[2] Previous sponsors include Tachi Palace, Coregenx,[3] Commerce Hotel and Casino,[4][5] DAF Trucks, Tonka, MET-Rx, and PartyPoker.com.
The competition has been won by 24 men representing 13 nationalities. Two of the champions, Bill Kazmaier and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, have been inducted into the International Sports Hall of Fame.[6][7] The competition also has several rival and parallel competitions with which it is sometimes confused, including the Strongman Super Series, IFSA Strongman World Championships, Strongman Champions League and the World's Ultimate Strongman. Its main rivals are the Arnold Strongman Classic, Rogue Invitational and Strongest Man on Earth.
