2025 World’s Strongest Man Lineup / Groups

The stage is set for the 2025 World’s Strongest Man, meaning that just days separate us from finding out who the new champion will be.

However, the competition will feature two athletes who have experienced winning, including the 3x champion, Tom Stoltman, and the 2023 winner, Mitchell Hooper.
