Mika Törrö (born 11 May 1979) is a Finnish Strongman from Joensuu[1] and a 5 x times Finland's Strongest Man champion.
Törrö had a difficult upbringing early in his life, suffering from ADHD, BPD and was imprisoned for over a decade.[2] Through strength training he managed to change his ways and eventually got an opportunity to join Strongman Champions League. Ensuing years, he won three silver medals and six bronze medals and became a regular contestant in the international circuit.[3] Additionally, Törrö secured consecutive bronze medals in World's Strongest Viking competition in 2019 and 2020 and won 2021 Imatra Strongman Showdown.[4]
In his first and only appearance at World's Strongest Man competition in 2022 held in Sacramento, California, he battled out at the third qualifier group in which Oleksii Novikov and Trey Mitchell managed to get into the finals.
Törrö's autobiography Härkä – vangista säftimmäkis was published in 2021.[5]
