Stone-Off

The Stone-Off is the final event of the 2023 World’s Strongest Man qualifiers – where only two athletes partake in this event per group. The second and third place finishers in each group face head to head to determine who would round off the 10 athletes moving onto the finals.

For the Stone-Off, two athletes stand on two sides of one beam. Each athlete, one at a time, were required to lift and toss an Atlas Stone to the side of the other athlete – and both would continue to toss the atlas stone back and forth – until one could no longer continue.

  • Tom Stoltman: Won
  • Bobby Thompson: Lost

  • Luke Stoltman: Won
  • Gavin Bilton: Lost
