Tom Stoltman Secures 3rd Title by Victorious Win Against Mitchell Hooper

For the third time in the past four years, Tom Stoltman has been crowned the World’s Strongest Man. The massive Scot topped Canada’s Mitchell Hooper and the United States’ Evan Singleton to claim the title. Stoltman carried a three-point lead into Saturday and extended his advantage, finishing third in the Conan’s Wheel (777 degrees, eight points), tied for second in the Terrain Deadlift (8.5 points reps), and first in the Atlas Stones (five stones in 38.14 seconds, 10 points). He has now finished either first or second in the past five World’s Strongest Man competitions.

The overall standings were as follows: Stoltman with 53 points, Hooper with 47.5 points, Singleton with 36 points, Mathew Ragg from Canada with 35.5 points, Tristain Hoath from Canada with 33.5 points, Wesley Derwinsky from Canada with 31 points, Austin Andrade from Mexico with 30.5 points, Pavlo Kordiyaka from Ukraine with 27 points, Luke Stoltman from Scotland with 19.5 points, and Aivars Šmaukstelis from Latvia with 12.5 points. Hooper, who won last year’s competition and has also won the last two Arnold Strongman Classics, actually gained ground on Stoltman during the Conan’s Wheel, putting up the second-best performance (821 degrees) for nine points. However, he lost ground on the Terrain Deadlift (six reps, six points) and Atlas Stones (four stones in 37.35 seconds, nine points), conceding his title in the process.

Singleton just barely finished above Ragg for third place after failing to score more than five points in any of the three events on Sunday. His Canadian counterpart had a fantastic day, meanwhile, with the best score on the Terrain Deadlift (eight reps) and solid performances in the Conan’s Wheel (748 degrees, seven points), and Atlas Stones (four stones in 49.43 seconds, six points). Stoltman’s dominance in the competition solidifies his position as one of the strongest men in the world.
