WSM Compare
People love two arguments about strongman: whether the scoring system is fair, and whether the WSM groups are evenly stacked. We don’t take a side — we just ran the numbers. Pick your fight:
Data on scoring-system fairness →
(Do you think strongman’s scoring system is unfair? We don’t have opinions — but we do have data.)
15 real comps (Arnold, Rogue, SMOE, WSM — men’s and women’s, 2024–2026) re-scored under 7 real-world scoring systems: current WSM, four eras of F1, MotoGP, and a MotoGP variant. See which winners hold up across every system and which flip the moment the scale steepens. Drill into any single comp from the Scoring systems sidebar group.
Data on WSM group strength →
(Do you think some WSM groups got stacked harder than others? Again, no opinion — just hard data.)
For WSM 2024–2026, every athlete from every group is pooled into a single virtual comp and scored on the actual raw event data (times, reps, distances), then summed by group. If you’ve heard “Group X had it easy” on a podcast, this is where you check. Pick a year from the WSM group strength sidebar group.
