the UK's leading expert in bio mechanics Member 1973, 7379 posts | There are usually 30 competitors, 5 groups of 6 with the top 2 from each group going through to the 10 man final. This isnt the final list, hence the request for updates as they come in... I would expect Thor from Icelands SM to get invited. Also the national winners from Norway, Canada, Australia, USA and one or two others. There are usually one or 2 'wildcard' type invitations at Colin's discretion it would seem. I anticipate 2 more invitations for Brits, and possibly another USA athlete depending on who wins USASM. | ||

 Sugdens 'man' at WSM 2021 Member 1513, 2139 posts SQ 224.5, BP 181, DL 276.5682.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | Since Top Ten from the previous year generally get an invite, that would mean these four also qualify: Brian Shaw Derek Poundstone Hafţór Júlíus Björnsson Stefán Sölvi Pétursson I've heard that Stefan may be taking a break from strongman though so his spot might be open. I doubt the winner of ASM is going to get an invite this year with so many US athletes qualifying and since it is the end of August this year. | ||
