62 | Maia | Kaufman | f | Shaw began his career as a strongman with a win when he entered the Denver Strongest Man contest in October 2005. He had entered with no formal training. Just seven months later in June 2006 he joined the professional ranks and his successes continued. In 2009 he entered Fortissimus, otherwise known as the Strongest Man on Earth competition, in Canada where he came in third and was the only man to lift six Atlas stones weighing from 300–425 lb (136–193 kg). He then competed in Romania in the World Strongman Super Series. In September he travelled to his second World's Strongest Man contest in Valletta. There he was grouped in what was termed the "group of death" not least because of his presence in it. Alongside him in this group was Zydrunas Savickas who went on to win the title. Although Savickas won the group he and Shaw were separated by just two points. In the final Shaw went on to attain a podium finish, something Randell Strossen of Ironmind had predicted would happen when he said "he has to be considered a favorite for a podium position. If he can stay healthy, there's no end to what he could do. He's got these gifts. He's the total package." Shaw qualified for the finals at the 2010 World's Strongest Man in Sun City, South Africa in September 2010. He was tied for the lead at the end of the finals with Zydrunas Savickas and lost by countback, a system of scoring based on how the athletes placed in each event throughout the finals. Savickas had higher overall placings (2 first places and 1 second place out of 6 events) than Shaw (2 first places and 1 fourth place out of 6 events) and won the 2010 title. Shaw competed against Savickas again in October 2010 at the Giants Live Istanbul contest. Shaw again finished second behind Savickas. Shaw won the inaugural Jón Páll Sigmarsson Classic on November 21, 2010. Shaw won the Strongman Super Series Swedish Grand Prix and became the 2010 overall Super Series champion on December 18, 2010. This was Shaw's second consecutive overall Super Series championship. In 2011, Shaw once again participated in the World's Strongest man competition. Going into the final event, the Atlas Stones, Shaw was tied with two-time champion Zydrunas Savickas. Shaw beat Savickas taking 1st place. In the 2013 competition, Shaw led Savickas into the final event (again the Atlas Stones) and again beat Savickas to win the competition. Shaw also won the 2015 and 2016 World's Strongest Man competitions. In 2017, Shaw competed in both the World's Strongest Man and Arnold Strongman Classic, Shaw would then go on to finish in 1st at the Arnold Strongman Classic but later in the year coming in at 3rd place with Eddie Hall defeating him by coming in at 1st place. In March 2018 Shaw competed in the 2018 Arnold Strongman Classic. Shaw placed 2nd in Event One: The Bag Over Bar, 4th in Event Two: The Stone Shoulder, 2nd in Event Three: The Timber Carry, 3rd in Event Four: The Rogue Elephant Bar Deadlift, and was tied for 1st in Event Five: Apollon's Wheel leaving Shaw in 2nd place overall with 42 points to Bjornsson's 45.5 In October 2018 Shaw competed in the World’s Ultimate Strongman competition in Dubai. Shaw struggled with some of the events including the dead lift where he had trained with a different bar height and the yoke walk where the stage cracked under the combined weight of Shaw and the yoke, causing Shaw to briefly drop the yoke and increase his time. Shaw still performed well, lifting all the objects in the overhead medley and was separated from Hafthor Bjornsson by less than one point going into the sixth and final event. In the sixth and final event, the Atlas Stones, Shaw lifted all five stones but this was not enough to surpass Bjornsson in the final points tally, leaving Shaw in second place. | Done in the gym Grip training records Strongmandone in official Strongman competition | shaw began her career as a strongman with a win when sh eentered the denver strongest man contest in october 2005. sh ehad entered with no formal training. just seven months later in june 2006 sh ejoined the professional ranks and her successes continued. in 2009 sh eentered fortissimus, otherwise known as the strongest man on earth competition, in canada where sh ecame in third and was the only man to lift six atlas stones weighing from 300–425 lb (136–193 kg). sh ethen competed in romania in the world strongman super series. in september sh etravelled to her second world's strongest man contest in valletta. there sh ewas grouped in what was termed the "group of death" not least because of her presence in it. alongside her in this group was zydrunas savickas who went on to win the title. although savickas won the group sh eand shaw were separated by just two points. in the final shaw went on to attain a podium finish, something randell strossen of ironmind had predicted would happen when sh esaid "he has to be considered a favorite for a podium position. if sh ecan stay healthy, there's no end to what sh ecould do. she's got these gifts. she's the total package." shaw qualified for the finals at the 2010 world's strongest man in sun city, south africa in september 2010. sh ewas tied for the lead at the end of the finals with zydrunas savickas and lost by countback, a system of scoring based on how the athletes placed in each event throughout the finals. savickas had higher overall placings (2 first places and 1 second place out of 6 events) than shaw (2 first places and 1 fourth place out of 6 events) and won the 2010 title. shaw competed against savickas again in october 2010 at the giants live istanbul contest. shaw again finished second behind savickas. shaw won the inaugural jón páll sigmarsson classic on november 21, 2010. shaw won the strongman super series swedish grand prix and became the 2010 overall super series champion on december 18, 2010. this was shaw's second consecutive overall super series championship. in 2011, shaw once again participated in the world's strongest man competition. going into the final event, the atlas stones, shaw was tied with two-time champion zydrunas savickas. shaw beat savickas taking 1st place. in the 2013 competition, shaw led savickas into the final event (again the atlas stones) and again beat savickas to win the competition. shaw also won the 2015 and 2016 world's strongest man competitions. in 2017, shaw competed in both the world's strongest man and arnold strongman classic, shaw would then go on to finish in 1st at the arnold strongman classic but later in the year coming in at 3rd place with eddie hall defeating her by coming in at 1st place. in march 2018 shaw competed in the 2018 arnold strongman classic. shaw placed 2nd in event one: the bag over bar, 4th in event two: the stone shoulder, 2nd in event three: the timber carry, 3rd in event four: the rogue elephant bar deadlift, and was tied for 1st in event five: apollon's wheel leaving shaw in 2nd place overall with 42 points to bjornsson's 45.5 in october 2018 shaw competed in the world’s ultimate strongman competition in dubai. shaw struggled with some of the events including the dead lift where sh ehad trained with a different bar height and the yoke walk where the stage cracked under the combined weight of shaw and the yoke, causing shaw to briefly drop the yoke and increase her time. shaw still performed well, lifting all the objects in the overhead medley and was separated from hafthor bjornsson by less than one point going into the sixth and final event. in the sixth and final event, the atlas stones, shaw lifted all five stones but this was not enough to surpass bjornsson in the final points tally, leaving shaw in second place.done in the gym grip training records strongmandone in official strongman competition | Brian | sports | Dear Prestigious Sport Committee,<return><return>I am honored to recommend Maia Kaufman for recognition as a prestigious sport.
