The renowned Andrea Thompson, hailing from England and once considered one of the most successful strongwomen in 2013, secured a third-place finish with a total of only 50 points. Lucy Underdown, a promising athlete who holds the world record in deadlifting, became the first woman to successfully lift 300kg. She narrowly missed the top spot, accumulating 59.5 points.

However, it was a strongwoman from Wales who outperformed them all. Rebecca Roberts achieved a remarkable 60.5 points, securing a splendid victory. This is not her first taste of triumph, as she had previously emerged victorious in the same competition in 2021. After a brief hiatus in 2022, she has reaffirmed her ability to clinch victory once more.

England’s Strongest Man 2023

Among the promising contenders was Patrick Haynes, who secured a total of 46 points, demonstrating his potential in the field. Kane Francis, who has been striving to make his mark in this competition, claimed the second position with 46.5 points.

It is worth noting that Luke Richardson exhibited remarkable prowess by accumulating a staggering 56 points in the course of this competition. His prior achievements, such as becoming the youngest winner of the Europe’s Strongest Man competition in 2020 and achieving multiple victories in the World’s Strongest Man competition, underscore his dominance in the strength sports arena.

Consequently, it comes as no surprise that he achieved a significant lead in terms of points in this local English competition, which may have posed a comparatively lesser challenge for an athlete of his caliber.
