Ginaud Dupuis

Ginaud Dupuis, born on 11 September 1964, is a French-Canadian strongman who is remembered chiefly for two appearances at the World's Strongest Man contest. He came to strongman from powerlifting, in which he became a WPA world champion in 1994 in the equipped division under 140 kilograms. He then moved into strongman, placing twelfth at the 1995 World Strongman Challenge, and in 1997 he won the title of Canada's Strongest Man, which earned him an invitation to the World's Strongest Man, where he appeared in 1998 at a peak bodyweight of 138 kilograms. He placed fourth at Canada's Strongest Man in 2000 and retired from strength sports. In 2001 he played a strong man in the Cirque du Soleil touring production Alegría, afterwards served in the Canadian army, and later worked as a powerlifting coach in Aylmer.
