2025 World’s Strongest Man: Day Two Qualifier Results
The second day of qualifiers will feature two events — the Titan’s Toss and Stone Medley. This is the first of two qualifiers as competitors work to rack up points in order to move onto the finals.
Titan’s Toss
The annual toss event challenged athletes to throw 10 sandbags, each weighing 14 kilograms (30 pounds), over a 3.65-meter (12-foot) bar in the fastest time possible. While the weight of the bags remained consistent, the distance from which each one had to be thrown varied.
Competitors faced two bags each at distances of seven, eight, nine, and ten meters. They then had to throw one bag from eleven meters and another from twelve meters. Each athlete was allowed only a single attempt per bag. If a bag caught or snagged on top of the bar but still made it over, it was considered a successful toss.
