SMWW 2021 Results
2021 has seen the biggest ever gathering of strongman competitors to take part in a the Static Monsters competition. 1256 competitors (yes, we had announced 1253 last week) plus a long list of organisers, volunteers and of course spectators in 68 cities and towns across 21 countries. With that came some very close competition among the world rankings along with some new Static Monsters and World Records.
**** At the time of writing this, the “All Time Records” list on www.staticmonsters.com has not yet been updated with the 2021 records. ****
For those that finished at the top of their class rankings, they will also qualify for the 2022 Static Monsters World Championships (SMWC).
