Mitchell Hooper | 2023 Strongman Competitions
Hooper burst onto the scene in 2022 after he finished eighth in the WSM Final, his first-ever complete international competition. 2023 continued Hooper’s skyward trajectory — he logged the following results at major strongman competitions:

- 2023 Giants Live Strongman Classic: Third place
- 2023 Giants Live World Tour Finals: Third place
