‘World’s Strongest Man’ Has New ‘Home Edition’ On Snapchat Offering Unique Feats Of Strength
Ahead of November’s World’s Strongest Man 2020 competition, the organization has launched its first Snapchat show, World’s Strongest Man: Home Edition. A teaser episode of what’s to come will be offered every Monday on Snapchat’s Discover page for the next 11 weeks.
Eight of the world’s most popular strongmen will each compete in two rounds of unique and entertaining feats of strength. Each match-up will consist of a determined strength move (such as deadlifts, overhead press, and farmer’s walks) which competitors are encouraged to complete with imaginative items that can be found at home, like a couch, a car, or a pet.
Fans will be able to swipe up at the end of each episode and vote for their favorite competitor based on performance and creativity. Voting will take place on the World’s Strongest Man: Home Edition voting site. At the end of the two rounds, the top two competitors with the most votes will go head-to-head in fan voting to claim the ultimate $10,000 prize awarded by World’s Strongest Man.
