If you're a fan of watching muscle-bound giants from across the globe testing their strength against each other in some of the most punishing challenges imaginable, then the World's Strongest Man (WSM) will be right up your street. Wales's Gavin Bilton is among those competing for the 2022 bragging rights.
The 33-year-old Caerphilly athlete is a two-time winner of the UK's Strongest Man prize and is the reigning Welsh champion and a former Welsh Guard and Welsh Premiership rugby player. Standing 6ft 6in tall and weighing in at 420lb (190kg), he is in a field of 30 strongmen competing as we speak in the blue riband international WSM event taking place in California.
Strength-testing events for 2022 include car walking, log lifting and wrecking ball holding. The final rounds, held at the weekend, feature bus pulling, flintstone barbell lifting and power stair walking.
