Mitchell Hooper Emerges as Main Favorite for 2023 Strongman Classic
Mitchell Hooper’s recent victory in the 2023 World’s Strongest Man competition has positioned him as the front runner for the upcoming 2023 Strongman Classic. Not only did he become the first Canadian to win the competition, but he also boasts an impressive track record, having stood on the podium in nine consecutive appearances. Hooper hopes to continue his winning streak in the upcoming competition.
Rivals to Watch Out for: Oleksii Novikov and Tom Stoltman
Hooper’s main competitors in the 2023 Strongman Classic are likely to be Oleksii Novikov and Tom Stoltman. While both athletes have achieved success in previous years, Novikov seems to have the upper hand in this type of competition. Although Stoltman has won two WSM competitions, he has not been able to secure a victory in any other competition. In contrast, Novikov has emerged victorious in several events, including the 2022 Europe’s Strongest Man and the 2022 Rogue Invitational.

Evan Singleton and Luke Stoltman are known for their consistent performances and have a realistic chance of standing on the podium, even if their odds of winning are not as high.
Potential Dark Horse: Cheick “Iron Biby” Sanou
Cheick “Iron Biby” Sanou could be a surprise contender for the 2023 Strongman Classic. With his trademark static strength, it’s hard to predict how well he’ll perform, but he could definitely make a run for the title depending on the events.
