Tom Stoltman wins World’s Strongest Man competition for third time in four years

Stoltman won the 2024 World’s Strongest Man with a nearly wire-to-wire victory in the finals. He wrapped it all up Sunday afternoon by winning his signature event, the Atlas Stones, and finished with 53 total points – 5.5 points ahead of second place Mitchell Hooper, the 2023 champion.

Hooper could not deny Stoltman another title, like he did a year ago when he prevented Stoltman from pulling off the rare three-peat. Stoltman is now tied with American Bill Kazmaeir (1980, 1981, 1982) for third on the WSM’s all-time winners list.

Stoltman, 29, never finished worse than third in any of the six events over the two-day finals. He tied for the most amount of points in the Max Axle (four reps) and Keg Toss (five reps) on Saturday to put himself into the lead after day one.
