2024 World’s Strongest Man | Finals Stage Leaderboard

After being the only man to hoist all five Atlas stones, Tom Stoltman is officially the 2024 World’s Strongest Man.

Day Four Results

The final day of the 2024 WSM started with rain greeting fans and athletes alike. Here were the last three events athletes took on.

• Finals Event 4: Reign Total Body Fuel Conan’s Wheel — 10:00 AM
• Finals Event 5: BFGoodrich Tires HD Terrain Deadlift — 12:00 PM
• Finals Event 6:Atlas Stones— 3:30 PM

Reign Total Body Fuel Conan’s Wheel Results

Strongman fans are likely familiar with this classic. This year’s Conan’s Wheel, as ever, forced athletes to dig deep right from the start, as they had to lift up a handle attached to a wagon that has 250 kilograms (551 pounds) in it. Then, they walked in a circle for as long as they could until they dropped it. The athlete with the longest distance (most degrees) won.

BFGoodrich Tires HD Terrain Deadlift Results

Outside of strongman, you can pretty much be certain that if your barbell is loaded, it’ll be with weight plates or bumper plates. But in strongman competitions, sometimes, the bar will be loaded with tires.

In this event, the athletes were tasked with hefting 324 kilograms (825 pounds), standing on blocks to give them a greater range of motion against the big tires. The bar is stiff, with no whip or give, providing the athletes with yet another challenge as they fought for max reps in 60 seconds.

Atlas Stones Results

The Atlas Stones are a classic strongman event for a reason. In this case, as in years past, it would determine the champion. Competitors faced down five Atlas stones, ranging from 140 to 210 kilograms (308 to 462 pounds). In 60 seconds, athletes had to hoist the stones up onto their podiums from lightest to heaviest.

The current champion, Tom Stoltman, was appropriately the only man on the floor to heft all five stones into their places.

Coming back in the opposite direction, the finalists had to pull off a frame carry, weighing 330 kilograms (728 pounds). The athlete who completed both hauls fastest, won.

The second event of the WSM 2024 Finals Stage is now wrapped. The Max Axle Press event saw the athletes come face to face with an axle barbell and clean & press it to lockout. With an opening weight of 170 kilograms (375 pounds), athletes who successfully hefted it moved on to the next weight (10 kilograms heavier, at 180 kilos or 396 pounds). The rounds went on until an event victor emerged.

Keg Toss Results

After two of three events at the 2024 WSM Finals, Tom Stoltman was leading the field. The last event of the day, the Keg Toss for Height, just kicked off at 4:00 PM.

For this event, athletes were tasked with tossing a 15-kilogram (33-pound) keg as high as they could over a crossbar. After all Finalists attempted a throw, the bar was raised a little bit higher. The strongman that tossed the keg over the highest bar won the event. If an athlete failed to clear the bar with the keg after taking three attempts in a 60-second period, they were eliminated.

The top three men (Tom Stoltman, Hooper, and Derwinsky) all set a new world record in the event, eclipsing Brian Shaw’s record by one centimeter.

Day Two Results

After today, we learned the 10 finalists heading into May 4th and May 5th. Notably, Bobby Thompson withdrew due to an undisclosed injury, as did Gavin Bilton. The weather in Myrtle Beach was a high of 78 degrees with humidity and partial sun. Here were the day’s three events:

• Globe Viking Press at 9 am EST
• Car Walk at 1 pm EST
• Stone-Off at 5 pm EST.

Globe Viking Press Results

Day Two of competition started with the Globe Viking Press, which had the athletes press a 150-kilogram (330-pound) globe with handles to an overhead lockout, waiting for the down signal from their ref. Before they began their next rep, they had to bring the handles down below their ears. The win would be taken by the athlete to accumulate the most reps in 60 seconds. As an added layer of strength, competitors weren’t allowed to bend their knees during the press.

Ahead of starting Group 2’s heat, Gavin Bilton’s withdrawal from competition was announced, following his accepting medical advice to not continue the event.

Car Walk Results

A fan favorite, athletes carried a 1,000-pound frame laded with a Volkswagen beetle and took it down a 20-meter course as quickly as possible. There was a 60-second time cap on the event. The fastest to finish the course would win, and distance would be scored for athletes who didn’t complete the 20 meters.

Soon-to-be-retired Rob Kearney had a special moment with the crowd when he won the event for Group 3, blazing through the course in 12.07 seconds flat. The “World’s Strongest Gay” took his time savoring the moment before his retirement along with an appreciative crowd and fellow athletes.

Stone-Off Results

The iconic Stone-Off is a WSM staple. Here’s how it worked: Six stones, weighing from 140 to 200 kilograms (308 to 440 pounds), sat in front of posts. The athlete in third place began by lifting the first Atlas Stone over the post to the other side; the athlete in second place returned the stone. The two competitors went back and forth, ascending to a heavier stone until they reached the heaviest one.

If all six stones were completed by both athletes, they’d pass the final stone back and forth until one could no longer continue. To the Finals would go the victor.

Day One Results

The athletes were met with temperamental weather on Day One of the competition. After a tumultuous few days and weeks leading up to the competition in which several top contenders had to drop out, athletes and fans alike were eager to get going. Here are the events they battled through:

• Webster Stones at 9 am EST
• Deadlift Ladder at 1 pm EST
• Sandbag Steeplechase at 4 pm EST.

Webster Stones Results

For the first event, the athletes had to carry two stones — one weighing 250 pounds, the other 300 pounds — as far as possible within the limit. Since this is a new event at WSM, the winner would officially hold the WSM record for the Webster Stones.

When all was done and dusted on the first event of the week, Eddie Williams emerged with both the event victory and the sparkling new WSM record.

Sandbag Steeplechase

Three sandbags weighed 176 to 264 pounds. The athletes had to carry each bag to a log to throw it over. They then went to the other side, picked up the bag again, and ran to the podium at the end of the course. They did this with all three bags, but they could do them in any order they liked. Each segment was timed. The fastest time or furthest distance in 90 seconds determined the winners.
