Giants Live is a professional strongman tour which was originated in the United Kingdom. It hosts several prominent competitions each year, including national competitions such as Britain's Strongest Man, international competitions such as Europe's Strongest Man and single-lift competitions such as The World Deadlift Championships and The World Log Lift Championships. Since its beginning in 2009, each Giants Live show has served as a qualifier for the next year's World's Strongest Man, with the podium finishers from each show earning a spot in the competition.
With 10 wins, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson holds the most Giants Live wins in history.{{cite web|title= "With 9 wins Hafþór is the greatest Giants Live champion of all-time. What he achieved is immense and celebrating that is what this video is all about." -Colin Bryce |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ziGZKIyoQ4 |website= Giants Live STRONGMAN - Hafthor BJORNSSON Greatest Feats of STRENGTH (Colin Bryce replies to the question from @in2an3ppg42) | date=22 December 2022 | access-date=19 July 2024}} Evan Singleton and Žydrūnas Savickas share second place with 6 wins each.
History
On 27 April 2009, Giants Live was named the official World's Strongest Man Qualifying Tour for 2009–2011, replacing the Strongman Super Series. Giants Live was licensed the exclusive rights by IMG Sports Media, the creator and owner of the World's Strongest Man competition. The IFSA Strongman Super Series and later the World's Strongest Man Super Series had served as the official qualifying tour from 2001 to 2008.
Significantly, Giants Live offered an opportunity for strongmen who had previously been affiliated with the IFSA to return to World's Strongest Man. IFSA athletes were banned from competing in World's Strongest Man from 2004 until its dissolution in 2007; this meant that notable athletes such as Zydrunas Savickas and Mikhail Koklyaev were unable to compete during this time. With the dissolution of the IFSA and the beginning of Strongman Champions League, many previously IFSA-affiliated athletes returned to competition at World's Strongest Man..
The first 2009 qualifying event took place on 17 May at the Mohegan Sun Casino Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.
