Tom Stoltman
Tom Ryan Stoltman (born 30 May 1994) is a British strongman, from Invergordon, Scotland. He is a three time winner of the World's Strongest Man in 2021, 2022, and 2024. He also won the national title of Britain's Strongest Man in the same years, as well as in 2026. Nicknamed "The Albatross" due to his sizeable arm span, Stoltman is known for his prowess with the Atlas Stones. He holds the world records for the 5 Atlas stones (light set) 100–180 kg (220–397 lb), completing them in 16.01 seconds, and the heaviest Manhood stone at 286 kg (631 lb).
Stoltman won 2021 World's Strongest Man competition, becoming the first Scotsman and fifth Briton to win the title. He then won 2022 World's Strongest Man, becoming only the second Briton to win two titles (37 years after Geoff Capes) and the first to win back-to-back. In the 2024 World's Strongest Man he reclaimed his title, becoming the only Briton to have won three titles.
Tom Stoltman is the younger brother of the two-time Europe's Strongest Man winner Luke Stoltman, with whom he runs their YouTube channel "The Stoltman Brothers".
Tom Stoltman was born in Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty to parents Ben and Sheila, ten years after his older brother and fellow strongman competitor Luke. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5. Tom attended Newmore Primary School and Invergordon Academy in the Scottish Highlands where he developed his passion for playing football. As a result of his performances in the school football team, Stoltman was invited to Ross County and Rangers youth set up for trials. Inspired by Luke's success as Scotland's Strongest Man, Stoltman switched his attention to weight training in the local gym at the age of 16. Within a year, he was showing such potential that Luke decided to take him under his wing and guide him through training for strongman.
Aged 18, Stoltman entered and won his first competition, Highlands Strongest Man. This was followed by success at the Scotland's Strongest Man (SSM) qualifier where he subsequently placed 5th in the main event. In 2015 Stoltman reached the podium of SSM, finishing second only to his elder brother Luke the next three years in a row.
2017 was seen as Stoltman's breakout year: he finished second in the UK's Strongest Man competition behind reigning Europe's Strongest Man, Laurence Shahlaei, and placed 6th at Britain's Strongest Man (BSM). These performances gained him an invitation to his first World's Strongest Man, but he withdrew from the competition after the first two events in the heats. This was followed up by taking his first SSM win ahead of Luke in 2018, and an 8th-place finish at the World's Ultimate Strongman (WUS) in Dubai the same year.
Stoltman ranked 5th at the 2019 WSM and 3rd at WUS. He also won his second SSM trophy and a podium finish at BSM. In 2020 Stoltman returned to the World's Strongest Man finals in Florida, finishing in second place after a low scoring finish in the Hercules Hold. At BSM in the same year, Stoltman took 2nd place and broke the world record for the Giants Live light set of 100–180 kilograms (220–400 lb) Castle Stones in 16.01 seconds.
In 2021, Stoltman won the World's Strongest Man title in Sacramento, California. He won two of the first five events, placing him in first ahead of four-time winner Brian Shaw going into the final event. The win was sealed with Stoltman completing the Atlas Stone (140–210 kilograms (310–460 lb)) run in 20.21 seconds, taking the event win and overall title to Scotland for the first time in the competition's history. Stoltman also won Britain's Strongest Man in 2021, the same year in which his brother Luke won Europe's Strongest Man. Stoltman ended his season coming 2nd place at the Rogue Invitational.
