Timber Carry – Event 5

Complete coverage of the Men’s Timber Carry, the fifth and final event of the 2023 Arnold Strongman Classic in Columbus, Ohio (March 4, 2023). In a time limit of 30 seconds, the competitors must move the heavyweight frame implement to the top of the ramp, relying on extreme grip strength and whatever they have left in their back and legs.

Mateusz Kieliszkowski has his sights on a third event win, but as Mitchell Hooper has calculated from the outset, a consistently good performance in a competition like this goes further than intermittently great performances. If Hooper can merely complete the challenge, a first Arnold Strongman Classic title is within the confident Canadian’s reach.

Complete coverage of the Women’s Timber Carry, the fifth and final event of the inaugural Arnold Strongwoman Classic in Columbus, Ohio (March 4, 2023). All weekend, the women are taking on the same challenges as the male competitors. This concludes with the frame carry, as the athletes must rely on extreme grip strength, and whatever’s left of their leg and back strength, to move the heavyweight implement to the top of the ramp inside a 30-second countdown clock.

In the end, the Timber Carry’s top 3 would correspond directly with the overall competition, as the suddenly red hot Victoria Long looked to claim the title with a third straight event win, while Rebecca Roberts and Andrea Thompson stayed within striking distance.
