THE World’s Strongest Man competition is back – and Tom Stoltman will be looking to defend his title this week.
Stoltman is a two-time champion, winning the competition in both 2021 and in 2022, beating out contenders Martins Licis and Brian Shaw.
But now he’s looking to win a third WSM title on the bounce, which hasn’t been done since Magnus Ver Magnusson in 1996.
This year’s competition will be the biggest yet, and all eyes will be on Stoltman’s history-making attempt.
