The top two podium positions at the 2023 ESM were Ukrainian. Kordiyaka won his first ESM title, beating the 2022 ESM champion, Novikov, by four points. The 2023 ESM bronze medalist was Šmaukstelis, who has been on a heater through the Strongman Champions League (SCL).

The combination of Nicol Stones and Car Walk as the first two events will heavily test the athletes midlines. The Deadlift Ladder, not being a max deadlift or deadlift for reps, will likely favor the more agile athletes — commonly where the Ukrainian strongmen excel.
The Viking Press for reps will challenge the athlete’s overhead strength, where having more mass could prove an advantage in the later reps.
