Biography:

Geoffrey Lewis Capes (23 August 1949 – 23 October 2024) was a British shot putter, strongman, and Highland Games competitor. He was famous in the UK in the 1980s for his sporting prowess and appearances on television in shows such as Superstars and the World's Strongest Man.

Capes represented England and Great Britain in field athletics, specialising in the shot put, an event in which he was twice Commonwealth champion, twice European indoor champion, and competed at three Olympic Games. As of October 2024, he still holds the British record for the shot put from 1980 when he putted it 21.68 metres (71 ft 2 in).[1]

As a strongman, he won World's Strongest Man twice,[2][3] and World Muscle Power Classic twice,[3] along with numerous other titles including Europe's Strongest Man and Britain's Strongest Man.[3]
