Some of the strongest men in the world will be heading to the Midlands for incredible tests of power that need to be seen to be believed. Athletes will descend on the Utilita Arena, just 30
minutes from Coventry. Fans will be able to enjoy the World Deadlift Championships at the Strongman Open. When it was held in Las Vegas, the incredibly strong group failed to lift 505kg, so
they will be putting their everything into smashing the record when they head to Birmingham on Saturday, September 6. Among those confirmed to be at the Strongman Open this year are 2023
Worlds Strongest Man Mitchell Hooper, reigning Britains Strongest Man Luke Stoltman and Worlds Strongest Man finalist Trey Mitchell from the USA. Organisers say they will be joined by Mat
Ragg, Bryce Johnson, Austin Andrade and Evan Singleton, with more big names yet to be announced. READ MORE: BUCKS COVENTRY CLOSING FOR GOOD IN JUST DAYS AFTER 'INCREDIBLE JOURNEY'
Athletes will take on six events during the adrenaline-fuelled evening, which starts at 5pm. Tickets can be purchased from £30. Strongman Open is part of the Official Strongman World Tour
from Giants Live, which is filmed by Channel 5 across the UK and the United States. It is broadcast over Christmas every year as part of the hugely popular series Worlds Strongest Man.
Founder Darren Sadler said: “I am so excited to be bringing the muscle back to the Midlands as the Official Strongman World Tour comes to Birmingham for the second year. Last year, we loved
being able to wow the crowds, and I cannot wait for the audience at the Utilita Arena to be staggered by the mind-blowing, awe-inspiring, jaw-dropping challenges we have lined up.” Tickets
