Tom Stoltman Claims Third World's Strongest Man Title

01 February 2025

In the realm of strength and might, one name continues to come up: Tom Stoltman. The towering Scotsman, aptly nicknamed "The Albatross," recently clinched his third World's Strongest Man title. Let's delve into Stoltman's victory and what lies ahead.

Stoltman's dominance at the pinnacle of strongman competition was unmistakable in Myrtle Beach. Battling against formidable opponents, including defending champion Mitchell Hooper, Stoltman left no room for doubt with a commanding 5.5-point lead. Standing tall at 6 feet 8 inches, the Invergordon Goliath's triumph solidified legendary status in the world of strength athletics.

The journey to Stoltman's third world title wasn’t without its challenges. From gruelling events like the Knaack Giant's Medley and Axle Press to the Keg Toss, each trial pushed competitors to their limits. Yet, amidst the sweat and strain, Stoltman shined brightest.

However, Mitchell Hooper, his main rival, put up a fight, showing his tenacity that made him a force to be reckoned with. Despite facing setbacks early on, Hooper's kept the competition fierce until the end.
