How I Won World's Strongest Man 2024

[@DavidWatt]

Absolutely amazing as always! All the hard work really does pay off! And what a difference in you. Fronting the KZbin channel like pro! You'd never think you used to be a quiet lad in front of the camera! Keep up the amazing work, you're making Scotland very proud!

[@welshhomestead]

Fantastic achievement, Tom - you made us all so proud here in the UK - thank you for bringing the title home again! Role on #4! All the best from our small sheep farm in Wales

[@paulleslie9110]

The UK? Doesn't england etc have there own strongmen? We won't take offence though the Welsh are ok 😂⚔️ Freedom

[@juniperMcScot]

WSM (again) baby, well done Tom. It was a joy to watch you regain your title. Your training and hard work paid off good style and the team behind you are of great support too. Happy new year lads and thanks for making Scotland very proud.

[@WJW2272]

And the rest of the UK!!(you can keep Sturgeon and Hamza though!)🇬🇧

[@ZacAynsleyOfficial]

Had no doubt bro! Absolutely smashed it mate, congratulations. Unreal achievement

[@lordsudbury]

10:30 me cheering you on in the background, incredible work mate what an amazing week

[@marklockwood2693]

Amazing achievement Tom !!!

[@stornoway1950]

How come Tom isn't included in the Sports personality of the year 3 times world champion and not a mention.

[@emilybrown6783]

I agree. Come on BBC

[@ClydeJ.6.6.6]

Probably because of performance enhancers. Bbc prob don't want to promote a sport that's not got testing in place. Frowned upon to take enhancers but fine to protect Saville and Co.

[@edwardwright1988]

Same shit for Michael Dunlop, wasn't even in the the top so you could vote for him...beats his Uncle Joey's all-time TT RACE win record pushes upto 29 by the end of the week. So this is 10 years plus at the top of his sport and diddly squat mention again....thats why I don't bother with Sports personality of the year anymore, its only the people who compete in sport the BBC give major coverage to....

[@garyshilton9502]

Probably same reason Dorian Yates never got a mention as a Mr Olympia Steroids Although 99% of sports men and women take them

[@ja17.17]

BBC fools. Cos he's Scottish

[@thebeardeddan905]

Well done Tom I think you will get over 5 WSM titles baring injuries and you have time on your side, your still young Hooper hands were injured this year but that takes nothing away from you you were the best

[@Split_Routine]

I saw tom at giants live in Leeds about six years ago, he was proper ripped. Luke spoke for him that day, how times have changed, I've really enjoyed Tom's amazing journey to date and can't wait to see what's next for the big man.

[@womble10576]

great pictures at the end there with your brother and Eddie. congrats big man, you've done the country proud again!!

[@KelleyHumphreys-t6j]

Was great to watch.... well done Tom.good luck for 2025...i was a bit disappointed that a tribute to the late mr Jeff Capes wasn't edited into the final program on TV last night...

[@ninjadudeofficial]

They put one in the world tour finals last week

[@KelleyHumphreys-t6j]

@ninjadudeofficial Are that's good ... I didn't see that

[@ninjadudeofficial]

Mitch said himself that the hand/grip issue was no excuse, and it happened because he hadn't trained that properly. Also, having watched your technique in the viking press and axle, I think you'd crush him if you can work on that technique to either use a split jerk on axle or even just push more through with your legs, because you were almost strict pressing by the last rep. 220 axle wr next year maybe?

[@cody6550]

Well it is a pretty valid excuse if he wanted to use it as one, he was injured and underperformed because of it. Sadly it's just a part of the sport though, mitch's 2nd place result just show how much of an insane athlete he is. Still proud of Tom though, especially after dropping the ball at the Shaw Classic.

[@Ian-if2lf]

@@cody6550 Eddie too did 2016 WSM with even worse dislocated fingers not just torn skin, and then still podiumed 3rd.

[@Ian-if2lf]

yeah can you imagine guys with crazy strong shoulders doing spit jerk? like hall doing a 216 strict press Bibby maybe? split jerking ? 230 is going up, maybe the split jerk should be seen as a different lift?

[@cody6550]

@@Ian-if2lf they are just ridiculous human beings tbh, no way 99% of the people would continue after that

[@Ian-if2lf]

@@cody6550 But it is also true that all strongmen are carrying some sort of injury, pain, niggle that they would keep secret at most times, torn hands are common and considered niggle level, Hoop would still have lost even if his hands were kept whole.

[@chriswilliams2865]

You're the best Tom 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🌶️🌶️🌶️

[@masterhomebrewer2154]

Massive congratulations Tom. Incredible performance and well deserved. It was clear to see how much work you have committed.

[@badbadleroybrown]

Amazing feat Tom. Loved watching you win on TV. Can't wait to see you perform even better in 2025!

[@lukesmall3197]

Its the only thing with social media. Whether luke has done wrong in his personal life, we cant take away that he's a bloody good strongman. I am sure we all know people that make wrong decisions or could deal with issues differently, do you just cast them aside too? No you probably don't. We don't know the family personally just what we see on socials. Yes kushi will have it tough & no doubt Luke knows what he's done. Providing the children involved are supported/cared for thats all the general public need to know. We don't need to know the rest.

[@geraldcornes5639]

Well done Tom. Keep smashing your goals & keep dreaming big, fully behind you for the 2025 season.

[@billysuter]

The best is yet to come Tom! You can tell just by the way you're talking in these latest vids. You got that champion mindset back

[@TheWillToFight]

Just watched you win it was wicked well done

[@Bigdawg4plates-e1x]

Great job big tommy made my new year I was screaming at the tv. Buzzing for you. Obviously already knew you won but to watch it unfold was great. Let's get number 4 now. Good luck in everything you do you deserve it

[@jbaggaz]

When I heard about Hooper's injury I thought it severely impacted his ability, but watching last night I realised how few events he could use the injury as an excuse for... Conan's Wheel doesn't use his palms... Keg Toss was more fingertips on the release... Stones he would have come second regardless... Axle, he would have had 0.5 more points had he hit the WR, which wasn't a guarantee anyway... Deadlift and Giant's Medley are arguably the only events he dropped points on because of injury, and even then, there's no guarantee he would have won them.

[@charliehmi76]

Yep, he was beaten fair and square.

[@JohnDuffy-bq8wg]

Yes he lost by a fair margin not half a point or 2 points, mitch is a great strongman but the pace of wsm definitely suits Tom, but who knows if Tom gets his back and hip sorted he may well win a few other tournaments this year he certainly has the tools when fully fit

[@Neil1867-d6f]

Congratulations Tom - it’s great to see you so confident on camera now and your personality shining through. Excited to see what 2025 has to bring 🏆🏆🏆

[@mattholt5063]

Great vid, Tom. That was your world’s 100%. I think hooper tore his hands because he kept trying and trying to pick up the farmers when his grip wasn’t up to it. His deadlift was impaired but it didn’t matter because even if he won it you had more than enough points overall. Let’s see some titles in the Stoltman household from the other majors this year 💪🏻

[@sustainthedeckcompany3462]

You’re always dangerous when you’re relaxed and confident. Congrats on #3, can’t wait to see you in action this year!

[@jamescrawford6104]

Well done Tom we believe that you are the best in the world can’t wait for you to shut everyone up when you get all the big tiles this year

[@MrDawson1400]

You are a big strongman, honestly looks like you are more than a strongman. You inspire us mere mortals to a better version of ourselves.

[@ulhasanzk2249]

cant wait for you to smash it this year. you are a huge inspiration

[@ReneVandermerwe-r6b]

Congratulations Tom. I watched the opening interview and opening round and I had a feeling that this was going to be your year. Again, congratulations 🥇

[@LukeHolland-f9v]

So happy for you tom. Great stuff.

[@enigma7791]

Pleasure to watch you Tom. We love our Christmas strongman and for a giant but a really nice guy to win it made our Christmas. Great role model for kids. Well done Sir

[@tynestreet4011]

Incredible Tom well done. I didn’t expect that 🙏😎

[@MarkJC76]

Been watching you for years and watching you win your 3rd WSM you looked amazing! But why stop at 3…? At the end Eddie and Luke looked so proud of what you achieved, keep doing what you do we are all so proud of you! 💪🏼

[@adaxtothemax1594]

Just watched the finals and you were incredible! I cant wait to see you dominate next year! And thank you for bringing the title back to the UK!

[@cenky3]

Come along way over the years Tom stay humble .

[@is0man1]

mindset of a champion. well done Tom. followed the sport since 1993 when gary Taylor won. been a very long wait for dominate UK world champion.

[@gamerxxbxx]

you are what make us wee scottish guys proud tom. you and your brother

[@markevans4088]

Love it! Very proud of you. You can go on to be the greatest.

[@rulsey23]

Well done. Very motivating for lots of ppl trying to improve themselves for 2025 ❤

[@TheSaxon.]

Congratulations, Tom!.💪

[@TheHuzi2012]

Some boy, absolutely class mate. Well done!!

[@brianbowers-x9q]

Tomorrow Stoltman is on another level and fantastic at what he does unfortunately the UK supporters pansy footballers cricket sometimes tennis and athletes all others seem to be a minority. People don't appreciate the dedication that goes into WSM to achieve what he's doing. Congratulations TOM STOLTMAN WSM 2024

[@lauren-emily]

Thanks for the great video :) you're certainly no one trick pony! Sending hello's from Northern Ireland!

[@nigelrowney7003]

Your the man Tom . Excellent result proved all the doubters wrong. Maybe an old farmer know but will wear my Stolman jumper with pride..👍👍👍👍👍

[@reecejones3187]

Absolutely smashed it congrats, Tom! Gutted I couldn’t watch it live but was a great watch on Boxing Day

[@nmaresch579]

Glad to see the old and new approach get credit.

[@chrisck84]

So much time for you as a person, you deserve everything you have achieved and are extremely inspiring.

[@MrAidanfleming]

You’re the goat baby!!! Well done ❤

[@Nitehawkzr]

Loving the progression in both strength and on a personal level Tom. Great video, keep it up.

[@TypicalTobi]

I was rooting for you the whole way I knew you would win. Amazing determination and dedication. You and your brother are both amazing individuals and inspire me every day!!! Gotta love Mitchell as well ❤❤❤

[@vvoof2601]

Yeah Tom and Mitch are amazing individuals I agree.

[@kenadams1385]

Luke inspires you?

[@tweedmill81]

You will do it again this year. Just remain focused relaxed and keep the training up. Happy new year man

[@ColinBurtonPlays]

Managed to avoid spoilers this year. So delighted to see you win. I’m sure you can reign supreme for the foreseeable future. Best of luck for 2025

[@notoriousgeg]

The fact that you had to try and avoid spoilers for 8 months is craaazy. They need to let go of the Christmas WSM broadcast

[@mrsensei8878]

WSM should be a live event. If you want it in Christmas than do the event on Christmad. WSM is already surpassed by popularity by other events.

[@Myke001]

​@@mrsensei8878it's probably not shown at Christmas everywhere though, just here in the UK

[@jonnygti]

Yeah I got to Christmas time, saw WSM on the tv, and thought to myself “I don’t know who won,brilliant” 😂😂😂 Good position to be in, then you can sit back and enjoy it, if you already know who wins, it’s not the same

[@Ekmakesvids]

Hi I love watching you guys and well done for an amazing 2024

[@johnknouse6984]

I love your dedication, Tom. I think a lot of people see how large you are, and don't know how agile you are. You're another big man who is also relatively incredibly agile and that makes you a real juggernaut. I was so glad when you won. And, I am hoping you get in the 4-time champ club too. Keep improving in all ways, and you're gonna do it! 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶

[@RobinMuirhead]

Love your mind set Tom, strategising the yoke and frame on the fly brilliant!

[@JohnDuffy-bq8wg]

It was nice of you to mention Dan hippcris even though he no longer trains you

[@jameschristy9966]

Dan won 🏆 3 wsm titles with Tom dont forget that

[@JohnDuffy-bq8wg]

@jameschristy9966 totally agree

[@The_Real_Imposter]

Hell yeah! 3 dominant wins & 2 close 2nds in five years is how the Greatest of all time starts his WSM career!!

[@damienoakes]

Well done Tom , keep those trophys coming , all the best to the stoltmans in 25

[@tygerskull]

Congratulations, Tom. Well deserved.

Teamwork makes the dreamwork........................Congratulations team Stoltman......................;)

[@matthewpratley7902]

Well in tom 💪🏼

[@hugodogobob]

Well done Tom 💪 well fought and well deserved victory. Mitch is my favourite current strongman but I fully agree with what you said about his hands. If one part of an athlete fails and it cause them to not be at their best then they're not the best.

[@marcogenovese9727]

Amazing to see it all again. Let's go 2025 and Tom

[@woodystreeservices]

Fantastic achievement 👍congratulations

[@brianellis1257]

Tom absolutely should be included in the Sports Personality of the year nominations. For me he is head and shoulders above many of the other nominees.

[@judithcardwell2509]

I was watching it well done and happy new year👍

[@seandarbyshire9966]

Brilliant well done you deserve it 👌🏻👍👏😀

[@combatfighttalkuk.546]

When tom hits mid 30s he will be peak strength, thats still 5 years away and hes already 3 time world champ. 200+ kg stoltman would be absolutely terrifying.

[@danielmansfield8739]

Also, speaking about yourself in the third person is badass.

[@leggy12]

Tom's pretty good at this strongman stuff!

[@keithrichardsom1898]

Happy New year you certainly looked a lot more relaxed and I you seemed more focused well done big man

[@jonhopkinson4083]

Absolutely over the moon for you all you might remember when you won your first I said you would get five only two to go. Congratulations Tom and your family 💪👌

[@rickycassidy]

Excellent big man you've got to go for 4 then 5 mate good to see a fellow scot do well

[@BabyIveBeenWaiting]

Different story if Mitch’s hands had not been ripped to bits.

[@vvoof2601]

that's pure speculation, but hopefully we'll see prime Tom V Mitch this year!

[@Ian-if2lf]

sounds like your heart was ripped to bits lol, tom sometimes uses other comps just to train with and stay comp tested, when tom wants to win ...he wins and he sees WSM as his thing, let other guys fight hard for the scraps, Tom wants 5/6 WSM titles and he knows you cant do that by pushing it at every comp.

[@TheSaxon.]

Bollocks! His hands weren't an impediment at all. There's a difference between them hurting and not working.

[@JohnDuffy-bq8wg]

Even f people do call you a one trick pony, 3x wsm is a pretty good trick, and I fully expect you to join big z and Brian on 4x and possibly get the 5, and your young enough to go even further I think if you got 6 it would probably never be beaten, best of luck for 2025 and your doing great presenting the channel

[@Welshwarrior85]

So proud of you big man. My Tom Stoltman tattoo is getting recognition once more 😂💪
