The Competition: 2022 Rogue : Invitational Step into the realm of strength and triumph as we proudly unveil this captivating statue, an embodiment of Oleksii Novikov's moment of glory. The statue immortalizes the spectacular Event 2, The Cyr Bell Ladder, from the inaugural Strongman competition held at the prestigious 2022 Rogue Invitational.
Held over two momentous days on October 28th and 29th, the competition drew in 10 of the world's most accomplished Strongman athletes, including the revered Oleksii Novikov, alongside Martins Licis, Trey Mitchell, Mitchell Hooper, and other esteemed names. The Cyr Bell Ladder event was an awe-inspiring test of strength and tenacity. Participants had to hoist four massive dumbbells from shoulder to overhead and maintain that position until the judge's down command. These magnificent dumbbells ranged from a staggering 253 to 285 pounds (114.7 to 129.2 kilograms).
Athletes had a mere two minutes to conquer all four weights, and those who advanced to the final dumbbell faced the ultimate challenge of repping it out as many times as possible. It was a feat of monumental proportions, but the stage was set for one man to shine brighter than the rest. Enter Oleksii Novikov, the 2020 "World's Strongest Man," and a true titan when it comes to dumbbell pressing events.
With unparalleled strength and determination, Novikov clinched victory in The Cyr Bell Ladder event. He proved to be in a league of his own, being the first to lock out the colossal 274-pound weight and incredibly managing two reps before the buzzer sounded. This very statue captures the legendary photo-worthy moment when Novikov triumphantly pushed the 274-pound dumbbell skyward. The 2022 Strongman Rogue Invitational was a testament to Novikov's dominance, as he emerged as the undisputed champion.
A true force to be reckoned with, Novikov's victory marked his remarkable 17th podium finish out of 19 contests since September 2020. Among his awe-inspiring accomplishments stands the crowning achievement of claiming the 2020 World's Strongest Man title, a feat that further solidified his status as a Strongman legend. But that's not all; the legend of Oleksii Novikov continues to grow. Holding the heavy dumbbell for reps world record, he astounded the world by lifting a 100-kilogram (220.5-pound) dumbbell an astonishing 11 times in a mere 75 seconds during the WUS "Feats of Strength" series in May 2020. And if that wasn't enough to leave you in awe, Novikov's prowess extends to an unofficial world record.
Witnessing the seemingly impossible, he impressively tacked a colossal 153.2 kilograms (337.8 pounds) onto his heavy dumbbell, executing a smooth clean, and locking it out overhead with awe-inspiring ease.
