Held over two action-packed days on April 19-20 in Sydney, this event brought together Australia's top strength athletes in a series of eight grueling tests of power, agility, and resilience.

Men's Division: Jordan Osborne Dominates Again​

Event Highlights and Scores​

Jordan Osborne, a previous champion, continued his dominance by securing a total of 116 points. Close on his heels were Josh Patacca with 110 points and Macauley Tinker, who finished with 109.5 points. The competition was intense from the start, with Osborne setting a high standard in the initial events.

• Max Log Lift: Osborne lifted 175 kilograms, but it was Brenton Stone who won this event with a lift of 190 kilograms.
• Farmer’s Walk: Osborne reclaimed his lead by completing the 20-meter carry in just 12.46 seconds, showcasing his exceptional grip and speed.
• Flag Raise: With a time of 27.90 seconds, Osborne was the only competitor to raise all four flags in under half a minute.

These victories early in the competition positioned Osborne as the frontrunner, a status he maintained through to the final event.

Winning Strategy​

Osborne’s training regimen, focusing on both strength and agility, was evident. His strategic approach to each event, particularly his pacing in the Car Flip and Freight Race, where split-second timing can make all the difference, played a crucial role in his victory.
