Tom Stoltman<\/a> entered the 2023 World’s Strongest Man<\/a> (WSM) with historic aspirations. Should the former two-time reigning champion (2021-2022) have beaten his elite strongman peers in Myrtle Beach, SC, he would have become only the third competitor to win three consecutive WSM titles. Instead, he fell short with a runner-up finish to eventual victor Mitchell Hooper<\/a>. At the very least, the Scottish athlete seems to accept his shortcoming. <\/p>\n

On Apr. 24, 2023, a day after the conclusion of the latest climactic WSM, Stoltman posted a reflection on his performance to his Instagram<\/strong>. While he didn’t make history, Stoltman already appears to be looking ahead to another title shot and more coming strongman greatness. <\/p>\n
