Brian Shaw is an American retired professional strongman widely regarded as one of the greatest strength athletes of all time. He won the World’s Strongest Man competition four times (2011, 2013, 2015, 2016) and is one of only five men to have achieved this feat. In 2011, Shaw became the first man to win both the Arnold Strongman Classic and the World’s Strongest Man competitions in the same calendar year, a feat he replicated in 2015. With 27 international competition wins, he is the fourth most decorated strongman in history.
