At the 2017 World’s Strongest Man contest, Mateusz Kieliszkowski advanced one place from his debut the year before, but more than moving from seventh to sixth overall, he won the prestigious Plane Pull with a dominating performance—from that moment forward, it was no longer possible to overlook the powerful Pole.

Polish phenom Mateusz Kielszkowski has been named the 2019 Fortissimus strongman of the year.

Following is the Fortissimus World Strength press release to IronMind:

Poland’s strongman phenom, 26-year old Mateusz Kieliszkowski, was once again dominant in 2019. With 12 international strongman competitions under the belt, he achieved a perfect 12 podiums with 5 wins. Runner-up at the 2019 World’s Strongest Man and 3rd at the Arnold Strongman World Championship, Kieliszkowski won two Giants Live titles (London, Manchester), The SCL Finland Grand Prix, the Arnold Pro Strongman Europe and the World Ultimate Strongman title in Dubai.


The Polish powerhouse that many view as “the future of Strongman” proved to be the total package many hoped for since Mariusz Pudzianowski’s last stance  10 years ago. The question now is not if he is dominant, but just how dominant he will be in the coming years if he stays injury free.
