2023 Official Strongman Games Event 5 Results — Sandbag Toss

The top 10 athletes in each division battled on final day of competition.

Written by Roger Lockridge
Last updated on December 3rd, 2023

The first event of the final day of competition at the 2023 Official Strongman Games (OSG) in Charleston, WV, was the Sandbag Toss. Athletes had 60 seconds to toss six sandbags of ascending weight over a barrier — 15 feet for strongmen, 13 feet for strongwomen. Athletes who failed to complete all six bags were scored based on the time of the successfully tossed sandbags.
