Josh Patacca won the 2025 Official Strongman Games Open Men's competition, which took place November 20-23, 2025 in Arlington, Texas at the College Park Centre. The Open Men's division featured six challenging events: Log Lift, Frame Carry, Deadlift Ladder, Sandbag Steeplechase, Dumbbell Ladder, and Natural Stones. The Australian strongman's victory at this prestigious event, which brought together over 400 athletes from nearly 40 countries competing across multiple weight classes and age divisions, represents a significant achievement in his career - especially impressive given he had finished 6th at the previous year's competition after only receiving his invitation three weeks before the event. This win likely secured him valuable invitations to Giants Live events and potentially put him on the path toward World's Strongest Man qualification.
