The 2024 Strongman Classic at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England, on July 13, 2024, saw Mitchell Hooper claim the gold by three points over three-time reigning World’s Strongest Man (WSM) Tom Stoltman. Hooper set Axle Press and Wrecking Ball Hold world records along the way.
Hooper wasn’t the only strongman to alter the record books in London. The overall bronze medalist, Pavlo Kordiyaka of Ukraine, shattered the Conan’s Wheel world record in the contest’s third event with a distance of 1,035°. Kordiyaka was the lone strongman to eclipse the 1,000° milestone.
Check out Kordiyaka’s world record performance in the video below, courtesy of Giant’s Live STRONGMAN’s YouTube channel:
Kordiyaka weighed in officially at 135 kilograms. He squatted below the Conan’s Wheel handle to secure a Zercher grip before standing and darting through the course.
The structure of the apparatus spins the heavy stones in a steel basket around a center swivel as the athlete walks the circular track. From the event’s start, Kordiyaka displayed consistency and speed and knew where the world record mark was.
Upon completing his second full rotation, Kordiyaka’s pace showed signs of his human condition as it slowed. His force output remained, and he converted another three-fourths of the course and a few steps past the world record marker before dropping the wheel and slumping his torso over its handle as he released his lifting belt.
Giants Live promoter Colin Bryce can be heard through the arena via microphone, commenting on Kordiyaka’s performance:
Absolutely went to the edge! Truly unbelievable!
The previous Conan’s Wheel world record was also held by Kordiyaka at 1,009°. Suffice it to say, when strongmen are tasked with a muscular endurance moving event, Kordiyaka is in a league unto his own.
