Grzegorz Szymanski To Compete At 2022 World’s Strongest Man Competition
Grzegorz Szymański will replace Mateusz Kieliszkowski during the event.
The 2022 World’s Strongest Man Competition will take place from May 24-29 in Sacramento. Now, there is a full lineup once again as Grzegorz Szymanski will step in and replace an injured Mateusz Kieliszkowski during the event.
Kieliszkowski recently made an announcement that he will be forced to miss the WSM competition with the same injury that held Jim out of the 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic. This is now the third time that Kieliszkowski was forced to withdraw from this event. He finished as the runner-up in 2018 and 2019.
On Wednesday, Grzegorz Szymanski announced that he will now participate in the biggest event of the year.
Of course, this is not the first time that Grzegorz Szymanski will compete in the WSM competition. He has appeared in the show three times, finishing as high as eighth place in 2016. He has not appeared in a competition since 2017, when he was diagnosed with cancer.
In the late 2000s, the Polish strongman burst onto the scene. In 2007, Szymanski appeared in his first major competition during Poland’s Strongest Man. He finished third in a show that was won by Mariusz Pudzianowski. That event put Szymanski on the map and he was able to build off it and finish second during the 2008 Europe’s Strongest Man competition.
In 2014, Grzegorz Szymanski took home the title of Poland’s Strongest Man and appeared in his first WSM event. This is where he finished fourth in group three and was eliminated early. As good as he was in 2014, Szymanski was even better in 2016. He made it to the finals of the WSM competition and finished eighth before winning the Zydrunas Savickas Classic. In 2017, he was diagnosed with cancer and began treatments before undergoing surgery. This will be his return to competition.

Mateusz Kieliszkowski Has Withdrawn From 2022 World’s Strongest Man
Mateusz Kieliszkowski was forced to miss the 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic with a leg injury. Just one month after the competition, the strongman has announced that he will miss the 2022 World’s Strongest Man competition because of the same injury.
Kieliszkowski explains the reasoning for his withdrawal in an Instagram post. He is recovering from his leg injury and training with heavy weight is not the best way to heal. Kieliszkowski revealed that he will continue to train with light weights in hopes that he can rehab the injury correctly.
“Why i am withdrawn from @theworldsstrongestman ?
Still feel some pain and not comfortable in my leg after injury What i got before Arnold.Heavy training isnt good method to fix and recovery for body.
I have some power but not enough to compete at the highest level in the world.The best and the smartest solution for me is to withdraw from the competition.I dont want risk because dont need bigger injury than i got.Also, I don’t want to be beaten by everyone because that’s not my style – My goal is only 1st place.
I made many mistakes. I have to be smarter this time because I want my career to be longer.
Now I just need time to heal my body and be 100% healthy and hungry for Victory.
I will continue training but with very light weights.Also i will use stem cells to help heal and will work more with a physical therapist.Hope it Will bring good results.
No pressure or stress. Just need Time and be patient.
Success will come one day
greetings,” Mateusz Kieliszkowski wrote.
Mateusz Kieliszkowski continues to speak on his desire to win. He does not want to enter a competition just to show face when he is not 100%. Now, he will work to get back to the top so he can enter his next competition at full strength.
As of now, there is no replacement for Kieliszkowski at the 2022 World’s Strongest Man. The official Instagram page of the event said that there will be updates at a later date.
Mateusz Kieliszkowski began competing in 2014 at the age of 21. He has 10 victories, including five Poland’s Strongest Man titles. He has been apart of the World’s Strongest Man four times and finished second in 2019.
Kieliszkowski was one of the competitors who would have been a contender this time around but he is focused on his health moving forward. This means he will be even more motivated once he can fully heal from this leg injury.

2022 World’s Strongest Man Officially Scheduled For May 24-29 In Sacramento
Strongmen will gather to Sacramento in May to attempt to be crowned the new World’s Strongest Man.
The 2022 World’s Strongest Man competition officially has dates and a location. The event will take place from May 24-29 in Sacramento, CA. This will be the 45th edition of the competition.
On Thursday, the announcement was made on the SBD World’s Strongest Man Instagram Page. A video was posted that shared some of the best strongmen in the world.
“????????: When the world needed the strongest man most… ⚡?♂️”
There will be a total of 30 athletes taking part in the competition. There has not been an official roster or event list released just yet. There were a total of five strongmen featured in the video posted and it was highlighted by 2021 World’s Strongest Man Tom Stoltman.
Martins Licis, who won the 2019 WSM competition, and two-time bronze medalist Terry Hollands were also featured. The video continued with Maxime Boudreault and 2021 Arnold Strongman Classic UK champ Evan Singleton.
This is the second year of a three-year deal that the WSM competition has with the Visit Sacramento Sports Commission. In 2021, the show was held at the Old Sacramento Waterfront. This was an outdoor event where competitors had to perform in incredible heat.
While we do not know who will appear at the competition, we do know that former champions have a lifetime invitation. In 2021, there were five champions who were active and are likely to be on the official list. Stoltman will likely defend his title. Oleksii Novikov won the competition in 2020 and was a force after returning from injury. Brian Shaw and Zydrunas Savickas have four titles each and remain active in powerlifting.
Before the strongmen flock to Sacramento, there will be two significant contests that take place. It begins with the 2022 Britain’s Strongest Man contest. This will take place on Feb. 26 in Sheffield, UK. Stoltman is the reigning champion looking to make it two in a row. The 2022 Arnold Strongman Classic is shortly after from March 4-5 in Columbus.
Now that there is an official time set for the 2022 WSM competition, lifters can begin to train accordingly and prepare for the show. The official roster and event list will be released at a later date.
