The 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals & World Log Lift Challenge took place on October 18th in Glasgow, Scotland. They gathered over a dozen elite Strongman athletes and used various tests of strength to determine who was the most worthy of getting the crown. In the end, Luke Richardson won the World Tour Finals, while Jack Osborn won the World Log Lift Challenge.
Luke Richardson had just one event win at the 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals, but his consistency throughout the day resulted in a gold medal for him. He did not place lower than fifth in any of the five events and finished the show with 54 points. The silver medal went to Ondrej Fojtu, a young Strongman athlete who showcased incredible potential and had just two points less than Luke.
Note: The World Tour Finals was a full competition consisting of multiple events. However, the first event of the competition was a Max Log Lift, also known as the World Log Lift Challenge. So, the two competitions were combined into one, with some athletes choosing to only perform the Log Lift, while others went through the entire World Tour Finals.

Event One — Max Log Lift / World Log Lift Challenge
The World Log Lift Challenge was also the first event of the 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals. So, the athletes took multiple attempts in order to establish a one-rep max. They were then ranked based on their heaviest successful lift. It is important to note that the athletes who only performed the Log Lift without the intention to proceed to the remainder of the competition were not involved in and did not affect the point distribution system.
Jack Osborn won the 2025 World Log Lift Challenge with a lift of 222 kilograms (489.4 pounds). This also marked a new British Record, beating the mark set by Luke Stoltman half a decade ago.
However, since Jack did not want to compete in the entire World Tour Finals, the next best man, Ondrej Fojtu, walked away with the maximum number of points. The young Strongman lifted a 220-kilogram (485-pound) Log to set the Junior World Record.
Tom Stoltman was the only other man who managed to reach the 200-kilogram (440.9-pound) milestone, lifting exactly that much weight to finish behind Fojtu.
- Jack Osborn — 222-kg (Competed Only in World Log Lift Challenge)

Event Two — Load & Push
The second event of the 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals had multiple moving components. So, the athletes had to pick up, carry, and load multiple implements into a wheelbarrow. The implements they had to move were a 120-kg (264.6-lb) anvil, a 100-kg (220.5-lb) tire, and a 140-kg (308.6-lb) sack. Once they loaded everything, the athletes then had to push the wheelbarrow across the course with the goal of reaching the finish line in the shortest time possible.
The 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals featured some incredibly quick Strongman athletes, which made the Load & Push event incredibly interesting. Luke Richardson emerged as the winner with a time of 49.52 seconds, but only after an intense battle against multiple other competitors.
Andrew Flynn had to settle for second place, being just 0.06 seconds slower than Richardson. The battle for third place turned out even more incredible, as four athletes finished with a time of 51 seconds. However, Evans Nana Aryee grabbed third place, beating his rivals by just a fraction of a second.

- Andrew Flynn — 49.58 seconds

Event Three — Carry & Drag
For the third event of the 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals, the athletes had to perform another set of moving challenges. So, they had to perform a 10-meter ‘duck walk’ while carrying a 250-kilogram (551.2-pound) implement before moving on to a 350-kilogram (771.6-pound) chain drag for 20 meters. This was a timed event, prompting the athletes to race each other in hopes of setting the quickest time.
The race resulted in another exciting clash between multiple athletes, but it was Evan Nana who took the win this time. He completed both challenges in 28.35 seconds, showing great speed and endurance, and added 13 points to his tally.
Luke Richardson was not far behind, as he finished the event in 29.85 seconds. This was enough for a second place, which continued his charge toward the title. The third place went to Andrew Flynn, who was approximately two seconds slower than Luke.

Event Four — Wrecking Ball Hold
The penultimate event of the 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals was the Wrecking Ball Hold. It is one of the most painful events in Strongman, as the main task was to maintain a firm grip on a bar that was tied to a 270-kilogram (595.2-pound) wrecking ball. The goal of the event was to hold the implement longer than any other athlete.
Andrew Flynn and Ondrej Fojtu were on a level of their own in the Wrecking Ball Hold, beating everyone else with ease but pushing each other to the limits. Flynn ended up on the winning end of the duel, having held the implement for 91.75 seconds. On the other hand, Fojtu dropped the implement at 91.37, which put him in second place.
Evans Nana and Callum Crozier battled for third place, with the difference between them coming down to less than three seconds. However, Nana was more successful with a time of 79.81 seconds.

Event Five — Castle Stones
The 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals wrapped up with the Castle Stones. It featured a series of implements weighing 120-kg (264.6-lb), 140-kg (308.6-lb), 160-kg (352.7-lb), 180-kg (396.8-lb), and 200-kg (440.9-lb). The athletes had to lift all the stones and load them onto their respective platforms.
Going into the Castle Stones, it was pretty much clear who was going to take the event win, as the 3x WSM champion, Tom Stoltman, is known as the ‘King of the Stones’. He loaded all the stones in just 23.52 seconds, leaving everyone more than five seconds behind him. Unfortunately, due to his underwhelming performance in the Wrecking Ball Hold, Stoltman did not manage to make it onto the podium spots.
Ondrej Fojtu was the second quickest to load all five stones, followed by Gavin Bilton, who also had a remarkable run. The next best man was Luke Richardson, with which he officially won the 2025 Giants Live World Tour Finals.
