Tom Stoltman has won the 2022 World\u2019s Strongest Man<\/a>, making him the first champion in six years to win back-to-back titles.<\/p>\n

Stoltman dominated his group in the Qualifying rounds<\/a>, consistently winning first place through all six initial events. Still, he entered the Finals one-and-a-half points behind 2020 WSM winner Oleksii Novikov. Clearly not an insurmountable lead, but Novikov\u2019s early performances during Days Four and Five made Stoltman push hard to achieve victory. <\/p>\n

Stoltman and Novikov battled back and forth, trading first and second place finishes throughout the first day of Finals, barring Mitchell Hooper\u2019s surprise win during the KNAACK Giant\u2019s Medley<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In Day Two, Novikov took an initial lead during the Bus Pull with a first place win as Stoltman came in third. However, Novikov gave up ground during the Reign Total Body Fuel Power Stairs and Stoltman won a dominant first place in the conclusive Atlas Stones to secure his second title without question.<\/p>\n
