2024 World’s Strongest Man Results

The 2024 World’s Strongest Man competition took place from May 1-5 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It gathered a total of 30 athletes from all around the globe, making sure to crown the one who is the greatest Strongman in the world. The competition consisted of two days of qualifiers and two days of finals. In turn, after multiple days of action, Tom Stoltman topped the leaderboards and was crowned the 2024 World’s Strongest Man.

The 2024 World’s Strongest Man was quite a success, considering the number of incredible athletes and results that it featured. However, one man was above everyone else, and it was a familiar figure at the WSM stage. The man in question was Tom Stoltman, the former two time champion, who managed to secure his third title with an impressive 5.5-point margin.

The second-place went to Mitchell Hooper, the last year’s champion, who lacked a bit of luck in the finals of the 2024 World’s Strongest Man. Hooper tore his callusses on the first event of the finals, which immediately set him a few points back. However, the lead that Tom built up after day one was unreachable for Hooper, and he ended up losing the title.

Finals Recap — Day Two (May 5th)

Reign Total Body Fuel’s Conan’s Wheel

One of the most brutal events in the entirety of Strongman marked the opening of the second day of the 2024 World’s Strongest Man Finals. Of course, it was none other than Conan’s Wheel. This event pushed the athletes to their limits, as they had to perform a carry with the use of a technique similar to the zercher grip. However, considering that the weight was 250 kilograms (551.2 pounds) and the beam was much thicker than the usual barbell, this event was easily one of the most difficult ones in the world. So, the athlete who crossed the farthest distance won.

Pavlo Kordiyaka has a history of success in the Conan’s Wheel event, which proved to be crucial at the 2024 WSM. He was the first man to walk out and perform the event, setting a result of 922 degrees. So, he set a standard that no other athlete managed to match. Although a bit of rain started drizzling through the clouds, Pavlo did not mind it and instead put up a mind-blowing performance.

Mitchell Hooper knew that he needed to get a few points more than Tom Stoltman on the Conan’s Wheel event in order to keep himself in the title race. So, he pushed himself as hard as he could, refusing to drop the implement until his body completely gave out. His end result turned out to be 821 degrees, which was enough for second place.

Although Tom Stoltman did finish behind Mitchell Hooper, he managed to minimize the damage by finishing in third place. He looked incredible throughout the entire attempt, but ended up dropping the implement at the 777 degree mark. So, he allowed Hooper to get closer overall, but only by one point.

• Pavlo Kordiyaka — 922 °
• Mitchell Hooper — 821 °
• Tom Stoltman — 777 °
• Mathew Ragg — 748 °
• Wesley Derwinsky — 681 °
• Tristain Hoath — 643 °
• Evan Singleton — 598 °
• Luke Stoltman — 527 °
• Austin Andrade — 526 °
• Aivars Šmaukstelis — 486 °

BFGoodrich Tires HD Terrain Deadlift

The penultimate event of the 2024 World’s Strongest Man was the Tire Deadlift, where athletes had 60 seconds to perform as many repetitions as possible. The weight of the deadlift was a huge 374 kilograms (824.5 pounds). Being the fourth day of the competition, the athletes were coming into this event quite tired, making it even harder for them. The athlete with the highest number of reps won.

The deadlift was extremely heavy, which was evident by the number of reps that many of the athletes performed. However, one man that did not mind the weight was Mathew Ragg, having cruised through eight successful reps to win the event.

Tom Stoltman once again found himself near the top of the leaderboards and made a giant step towards winning his third World’s Strongest Man title. He and Tristain Hoath locked out seven repetitions each, and tied for second-place.

Mitchell Hooper hoped to win the deadlift event, but his torn calluses from day one of the finals hindered his ability to grip the bar properly. His power looked incredible, but his grip gave out after the sixth rep. So, he tied for fourth place with Andrade and Derwinsky.

• Mathew Ragg — 8 reps
• Tom Stoltman — 7 reps
• Tristain Hoath — 7 reps
• Mitchell Hooper — 6 reps
• Austin Andrade — 6 reps
• Wesley Derwinsky — 6 reps
• Evan Singleton — 5 reps
• Luke Stoltman — 4 reps
• Aivars Šmaukstelis — 3 reps
• Pavlo Kordiyaka — 1 rep

Atlas Stones

Similar to previous years, the 2024 World’s Strongest Man wraped up with the Atlas Stones event. This year featured an extremely heavy set of stones, as they started at 140 kilograms (308.6 pounds) and ended at 210 kilograms (463 pounds). There were five implements in total, and each had to be loaded on its respective platform. The quickest to load all five won.

As expected, Tom Stoltman dominated everyone on the Atlas Stones and was in fact the only one to finish all five implements. Consequently, he officially secured his third World’s Strongest Man title, ahead of Mitchell Hooper.

Two Canadians, Mitchell Hooper and Tristain Hoath, placed second and third respectively. Both men finished four implements, with Hooper doing so in just 37.75 seconds, and Hoath finishing his run six seconds later.

• Tom Stoltman — 5 in 38.14 s
• Mitchell Hooper — 4 in 37.35 s
• Tristain Hoath — 4 in 43.79 s
• Pavlo Kordiyaka — 4 in 44.58 s
• Mathew Ragg — 4 in 49.93 s
• Evan Singleton — 3 in 24.09 s
• Austin Andrade — 3 in 24.42 s
• Wesley Derwinsky — 3 in 30.80 s
• Aivars Šmaukstelis — 3 in 32.88 s
• Luke Stoltman — 3 in 36.09 s

Finals Recap — Day One (May 4th)

KNAACK Giants Medley

The start of the 2024 World’s Strongest Man finals tasked the athletes with a heavy moving event. So, they first had to perform a Yoke Carry for a distance of 20 meters, then carry a huge frame for another 20 meters. The weight of the Yoke was 454 kilograms (1,000 pounds), while the Frame weighed 330 kilograms (727.5 pounds). The goal was to finish both parts of the event in the shortest time possible.

Although many found the event to be way to difficult, Evan Singleton did not struggle at all to beat all of his rivals. His quickness has been unparalleled for some time now, and that proved to be the case once again. He finished both carries in just 30.21 seconds, which was more than enough to win the event. Unfortunately, Evan seemingly tripped and fell after crossing the finish line, scaring everyone that an injury might have occurred. He later got up on his own, giving hope that everything was fine.

Austin Andrade and Tom Stoltman battled for second place and less than one second ended up separating the two. The Mexican representative finished in a time of 40.61 seconds, while Tom finished in 41.26 seconds. So, they placed second and third respectively.

Although Mitchell Hooper was the heavy favorite to win the Giants Medley event, he surprised everyone by not being able to finish the event. He encountered problems on the Frame Carry, as his grip strength just kept giving out. Lifting the Frame was not a difficult task for him, but it kept slipping as he tried to make a few steps.

• Evan Singleton — 30.21 seconds
• Austin Andrade — 40.61 seconds
• Tom Stoltman — 41.26 seconds
• Wesley Derwinsky — 59.20 seconds
• Tristain Hoath — 35.54 meters
• Mitchell Hooper — 34.59 meters
• Mathew Ragg — 28.9 meters
• Luke Stoltman — 27.43 meters
• Aivars Šmaukstelis — 21.96 meters
• Pavlo Kordiyaka — 20.99 meters

Max Axle Press

Overhead strength is one of the key aspects of Strongman, meaning that the 2024 World’s Strongest Man Finals could not pass without testing the athletes. In this year’s competition, the organizers decided to implement the Axle Press, where the only goal was to lift the heaviest amount of weight possible. The starting weight for all athletes was 170 kilograms (375 pounds).

As expected, an incredible duel took place on the Max Axle Press, where Mitchell Hooper and Tom Stoltman pushed each other to the absolute limits. In fact, they reached a point where, in order to beat each other, they had to break the Axle Press World Record. Hooper was the first to attempt it, and he failed. So, Tom decided to scratch his attempt and tie with Mitchell for first place. In the end, the last successful lift for both men was 210 kilograms (463 pounds).

Pavlo Kordiyaka used the split jerk technique to make it into the top three on the Axle Press event. He was going toe-to-toe with Stoltman and Hooper, but decided not to push himself over the 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) milestone.

• Mitchell Hooper — 210-kg
• Tom Stoltman — 210-kg
• Pavlo Kordiyaka — 200-kg
• Evan Singleton — 190-kg
• Luke Stoltman — 190-kg
• Austin Andrade — 190-kg
• Tristain Hoath — 180-kg
• Mathew Ragg — 170-kg
• Aivars Šmaukstelis — No lift
• Wesley Derwinsky — No lift

Keg Toss

Wrapping up the first half of the 2024 World’s Strongest Man Finals was the Keg Toss. However, it was not the usual series of keg tosses that are often seen in competitions, but instead one 15-kilogram (33-pound) keg that had to be tossed as high as possible. So, the athletes performed multiple rounds, with the beam being raised higher with each new level that they reached. Once they failed, their result was finalized, and the last man standing won.

The Keg Toss exceeded expectations, as multiple athletes kept pushing each other with every new round. So, the event ended in a three-way tie for first-place. As expected, two of those were Mitchell Hooper and Tom Stoltman, the past two winners of the WSM competition.

However, the surprising third participant of the tie was Wesley Derwinsky, the debutant, who managed to equalize the efforts of Hooper and Stoltman. All three men tossed the keg to a height of 7.76 meters, thus ending up in a tie for first place and sharing the points. In addition, they exceeded Brian Shaw’s World Record by 0.01 meters.

• Tom Stoltman — 7.76 meters
• Mitchell Hooper — 7.76 meters
• Wesley Derwinsky — 7.76 meters
• Evan Singleton — 7.50 meters
• Mathew Ragg — 7 meters
• Aivars Šmaukstelis — 7 meters
• Luke Stoltman — 6.50 meters
• Austin Andrade — 6.50 meters
• Tristain Hoath — 6 meters
• Pavlo Kordiyaka — No Lift

Special Event — Stone Off

The final event of the qualifying stage was only put in place to determine who gets the second spot in the finals from each group. In simplest terms, it was a duel between the second-place and third-place finishers, who took turns lifting Atlas Stones over a beam until one of them failed. They used a series of six stones weighing from 140-kg (308.6-lb) to 200-kg (440.9-lb). If the duel exceeded six rounds, they continued lifting the heaviest stones until one man was left standing.

Qualifying Recap — Day One (May 1st)

Webster Stones

The stone carry proved to be an extremely interesting event at the 2024 World’s Strongest Man competition.

Deadlift Ladder

The Deadlift Ladder was a very specific event, since it challenged athletes with lifting multiple barbells that were progressing in weight. So, the athletes had to be immensely powerful, but also pay attention to their transition from one barbell to the next in order to save time. The weight of each deadlift in order was as follows: 300-kg (661-lb), 320-kg (705-lb), 340-kg (750-lb), 360-kg (794-lb), and 380-kg (838-lb).

Group One

Sandbag Steeplechase

The last event of the 2024 World’s Strongest Man Day One was the Sandbag Steeplechase. It consisted of three sandbags weighing 120-kg (265-lb). All three sandbags first had to be carried for 10 meters and tossed over a beam. Then, the athletes had to carry all three sandbags for an additional 10 meters in order to load them onto a platform. It was also important to keep in mind that each of the sandbags is shaped differently, making some exceptionally hard to grasp.

Note: Each lift of the sandbag, whether that was over a beam or onto the platform, counted as one rep.
