Scottish powerhouse Tom Stollerman has won his fourth World Strongest Man 2025 (WSM) title putting him in the same category as the sport’s best athletes. The 30-year-old Invergordon native put on a dazzling all-around show at the 2025 championship in Sacramento, California.
A Dominant Performance
According to BarBend, Stoltman set the tone early by completing the Loading Medley in a swift 38.71 seconds leading his group and establishing his dominance. In the Deadlift for Reps, he lifted a 350-kilogram barbell seven times a performance equaled only by Canada’s Mitchell Hooper. Stoltman then hit the Rogue Overhead Medley, finishing all seven lifts in a mere 56.95 seconds, one of the quickest times of the event.
According to Fitness Volt, these high-level performances consistently brought Stoltman valuable points through every event which put him above the rest heading into the last round.
Rival Performances and Setbacks
While Stoltman shined, he faced stiff competition. Current 2023 champion Mitchell Hooper equaled some of Stoltman’s achievements and also clocked in with a virtual tie for Loading Medley time at 38.60 seconds. BarBend reports that American strongman Trey Mitchell had an impressive mark by posting the best of the competition with a stunning ten reps on the Deadlift for Reps.
But the competition had its share of hardship. According to BarBend, British competitor Luke Richardson and American Evan Singleton had to withdraw after suffering from biceps injuries during the Loading Medley. Their withdrawals proved the physical cost that the world’s strongest strength competition exacts on the competitors.
A Place in Strongman History
With this world strongest man 2025 win, Tom Stoltman now becomes part of an elite list of competitors involving legends like Mariusz Pudzianowski and Magnus Ver Magnusson who have claimed the WSM title four times. In accordance with The Scottish Sun, Stoltman had vowed to “shock people in 2025,” and he has lived up to that statement in every way.
