2024年8月3日，在全球瞩目的巴黎奥运会期间，“2024海椰丝中国最强大力士系列赛”北京站在北京酷车小镇圆满落幕。作为系列赛“城市冠军赛”中的最后一站，北京站不仅为参赛选手提供了晋级总决赛的宝贵资格，还在这个奥运年的特别时刻展示了中国大力士运动的蓬勃发展。
北京站亮点纷呈
本次比赛设有五项经典的大力士项目，涵盖农夫走（极限重量）、欧陆翻举（最多次数）、沙袋搬运接力（最快速度）、车轴硬拉（最多次数）以及大力拉汽车（最快速度完成2-4吨16米拉汽车）。现场不仅有顶尖选手的激烈对决，更有打破纪录的精彩瞬间。尽管比赛当天北京突降大雨，但来自十多个国家和地区的近五十名选手仍以高昂的斗志与卓越的实力，为观众奉献了一场场震撼的比赛。赛场上，观众的欢呼声此起彼伏，气氛热烈。
参赛选手的动人故事
参赛选手中，不乏从铅球、举重、橄榄球、CrossFit、Hyrox、斯巴达等不同领域转型而来的运动健将。他们在大力士赛场上展现出不同寻常的力量与毅力。几位选手在赛后分享了他们的备赛故事——从艰苦的训练到比赛中的拼搏，他们的经历展现了大力士运动对参赛者的巨大吸引力，也鼓舞了更多人加入到这项充满挑战的运动中来。
大力士运动在中国的崛起
2024年对海椰丝大力士系列赛而言是意义非凡的一年。系列赛创始人之一、职业大力士运动员Travis Hayes（何晏威）表示，赛事通过与多项国际知名赛事的合作，如“阿诺德大力士世锦赛”、“大力士协会”（Strongman Corp.）和“亚洲大力士协会”（Asia Strongman Federation）的支持，进一步推动了中国大力士运动的国际化进程。另一位创始人罗雅慧女士则指出，海椰丝大力士系列赛始终致力于在中国推广大力士运动，并为中国选手提供更多走向国际舞台的机会。
自2023年以来，海椰丝通过抖音、哔哩哔哩和视频号等平台推出的“寻找民间大力士”系列活动，播放量已突破三千万，累计曝光量达到数百万。与世界大力士冠军Big Z、Martins Licis以及中国奥运举重冠军吕小军的合作，使赛事的影响力持续扩大。截至目前，2024年海椰丝大力士系列赛已吸引了超过两千万观众在线观看，进一步巩固了其在国际大力士赛事中的地位。
未来展望：迈向全球的中国大力士
去年，海椰丝大力士成功将7至10名顶尖中国大力士选手输送至国际舞台，开创了中国选手通过本土赛事参加职业大力士赛的先河。今年，海椰丝计划继续输出优秀的中国大力士选手，并首次以“中国队”的形式组队参加国际赛事。这一历史性举措彰显了中国大力士运动在全球舞台上的崛起，并为未来的发展奠定了坚实基础。
与奥运精神共鸣
此次北京站比赛不仅是大力士运动的又一里程碑，也是对奥运精神的完美呼应。在巴黎奥运会期间，北京站的成功举办展示了中国在多个体育领域的同时发力，推动了全民健身的热潮。
北京站的圆满收官为年底深圳举办的总决赛奠定了坚实基础。我们期待各组优秀选手在总决赛中再创辉煌，争夺“中国最强大力士”的桂冠。这一系列赛事不仅展示了中国大力士的强劲实力，也为中国选手走向世界舞台注入了新的动力。
On August 3, 2024, during the globally watched Paris Olympics, the Beijing Strongest —— the 2024 Lift On Strongman China Series, hosted by LIFT ON Strongman, successfully concluded at Beijing’s Cool Park. As the final stop of the “City's Strongest Series,” this event not only provided top competitors with the last chance to qualify for the national finals in Shenzhen, but also showcased the explosive growth of China’s strength sports during this landmark Olympic year.
Highlights from the Beijing Event
The competition featured five classic strongman challenges: Farmer’s Walk (max weight), Continental Clean (max reps), Sandbag Relay Carry (fastest time), Axle Bar Deadlift (max reps), and the crowd favorite Truck Pull (2–4 tons over 16 meters). Despite heavy rain in Beijing on competition day, nearly 50 elite athletes from over 10 countries and regions delivered electrifying performances, breaking records and thrilling fans. Cheers erupted from the crowd, with the atmosphere buzzing from start to finish.
Inspiring Stories Behind the Competitors
Among the competitors were standout athletes who transitioned from sports like shot put, weightlifting, rugby, CrossFit, Hyrox, and Spartan racing. Their stories of transformation and resilience captivated the audience. Several shared post-competition insights about their intense training regimens and mental battles, offering a glimpse into the dedication required to thrive in strongman sports. Their journeys are inspiring more people across China to take up the challenge.
The Rise of Strongman Sports in China
2024 marks a milestone year for the Lift On Strongman Series. Co-founder and professional strongman Travis Hayes noted that strategic collaborations with major global organizations such as the Arnold Strongman Classic, Strongman Corp., and the Asia Strongman Association have accelerated the internationalization of China’s strength sports. Fellow co-founder Luo Yahui emphasized the series' commitment to expanding the sport within China and creating more international opportunities for Chinese athletes.
Since 2023, the series’ “The Search for the Strongest” campaign—launched across Douyin, Bilibili, and WeChat Video Channels—has amassed over 30 million views and millions of interactions. Collaborations with global icons like Big Z, Martins Licis, and China’s Olympic weightlifting champion Lü Xiaojun have further elevated the brand's profile. To date, the 2024 Lift On series has drawn more than 20 million online viewers, solidifying its position in the international strongman community.
Looking Ahead: China’s Strongmen Go Global
Last year, the series proudly sent 7 to 10 of China’s top strongmen to compete on the global stage—marking the first time local athletes advanced to professional strongman events through domestic qualifiers. This year, HAYES plans to take things even further by organizing a Team China to represent the nation at international competitions. This historic move not only signifies China’s growing influence but also lays the groundwork for future success on the world stage.
Echoing the Olympic Spirit
This Beijing event served as a powerful echo of Olympic values. While the world watched the Paris Olympics, the Beijing Strongman Championship demonstrated China’s multifaceted push in elite sports and grassroots fitness alike. The success of the event has energized the domestic strength community and strengthened the foundation for the National Finals in Shenzhen later this year.
As the series heads toward its grand finale, all eyes are on the athletes who will rise to claim the title of “China’s Strongest”. The 2024 Lift On Series is not only building champions, but also propelling China's strongman movement into the global spotlight.
