The 2026 Strongman Champions League (SCL) Czech Republic took place on May 30 in Liberec, Czech Republic, bringing together 12 elite international strongmen for a fast-paced but brutally intense competition. Despite featuring only three events, the contest demanded maximum output in both overhead pressing and deadlifting strength.

Furthermore, athletes were pushed into a high-pressure format where every single rep and kilogram carried major weight toward the final standings. With no room for recovery across multiple disciplines, consistency became the deciding factor in the overall battle.

Additionally, the event showcased some of the strongest static athletes on the SCL circuit, including multiple international finalists and established podium contenders. The competition quickly turned into a head-to-head battle between a handful of elite performers.

Ultimately, Ukraine’s Oleh Pylypiak delivered a flawless performance, winning all three events and finishing just one point shy of a perfect score. His dominance secured him the overall gold medal in commanding fashion.

Event Three — Hammer Press

The final event tested muscular endurance with the Hammer Press, where athletes had 90 seconds to complete as many repetitions as possible with a 70-kilogram implement. Fatigue became a major factor after two heavy strength events.

Furthermore, Oleh Pylypiak once again tied for first place with Evans Nana Aryee after both athletes recorded 11 repetitions. This result sealed Pylypiak’s overall victory.

Additionally, Adam Roszkowski secured third place with 10 repetitions, while Patrick Eibel and Štěpán Bystřinec completed the top five.
