Anyone’s Game

While Trey Mitchell is the defending champion, there could be some shuffling around on the podium.Before his runner-up result in 2021, Brian Shaw won the 2020 Shaw Classic. However, as the contest grows, Shaw has more and more responsibility leading up to his performance. How the presumed increase in work will affect his performance is unknown.

Plus, with a previous two-time podium finisher JF Caron not a participant in 2022, that leaves a new opening for the other athletes. A newcomer that could take advantage is Mitchell Hooper, from Canada, who has recently captured a second-place result in two straight Giants Live strongman contests. The ambitious Hooper is still seeking his first major international victory, and the 2022 Shaw Classic would be a great start.

The strongman world will learn whether Mitchell successfully defends his title or an upstart like Hooper or a veteran like Shaw stands on the top of the podium on August 13-14, 2022, in Loveland, CO.
