## Caption

After exploding onto to the Pro Strongman scene in 2020, the memory Luke Richardson competing in strongman has become something of folklore status.

Luke was a Junior IPF Powerlifting world champion, with a 1000kg+ total and a 403kg raw squat.

He competed at Official Strongman Games European Championships in 2019 and finished 7th.

A few months later he competed at the OSG World Championships and took home the gold.

Winning OSG qualified him for Britain's Strongest Man where he finished 4th.

After lockdowns restrictions lifted in 2020 he came and WON Europe's Strongest Man, beating legends of the sport like Adam Bishop, Graham Hicks, Terry Hollands, Mark Felix and Gavin Bilton.

He made a huge impression on his debut appearance at World's Strongest Man, making it to the final on his first try.

More lockdown restrictions meant that his next contest would be the following years WSM. 

This is where his life took a turn.

25 seconds into the first event his distal bicep tendon ruptored off the bone and he has since been recovering from injuries and surgeries for the last 3 years.
