What incredible lifts happen in Vegas, are actually revealed to everyone.
Victoria Long is the 2022 America’s Strongest Woman (ASW) champion, and Bobby Thompson is the 2022 America’s Strongest Man (ASM) victor. The two simultaneous contests took place on the weekend of Dec. 16-17, 2022, in Las Vegas, NV — ironically at the same time as bodybuilding’s flagship competition, the 2022 Mr. Olympia.
Long swept all five events in the 2022 ASW to capture her fourth straight contest win and second ASW title, having won the inaugural competition in 2021. In this year’s edition, she toppled reigning World’s Strongest Woman (WSW) champion Olga Liashchuk (second place) and Inez Carrasquillo (third). Meanwhile, Thompson garnered his 2022 ASM win and first since the 2022 Beerstone in March on the strength of quality overhead pressing. The athlete successfully overcame Tyler Cotton (second) and Trey Mitchell (third).
