Heat results
[1]
Qualifying heats in World's Strongest Man involve a series of six events. The field is divided into groups of six competitors with the top two in each of the groups reaching the ten man final. A win in an event gives a competitor 6 points, second place gets 5, and so on (4,3,2,1). If there is a tie at the end of the qualifier, the competitor with the most individual event wins gets the advantage.
