A complete breakdown of the World’s Strongest Man 2021 finals results.

The World’s Strongest Man 2021 has come to an end. After a grueling three days of qualifiers – 10 strongman competitors battled it out to win the title of World’s Strongest Man. After a close match and some shocking twists in turns between the final two days – Tom Stoltman was victorious and earned the title of World’s Strongest Man. Read on for our full recap and breakdown of the finals.

The World’s Strongest Man 2021 runs from June 15-20th in Sacramento, California. This is first time in seven years that the event has taken place in California and Generation Iron has been working with WSM’s IMG team to bring you direct coverage. The strongman competitors have been giving their all throughout the entirety of the event – which has also brought in some dramatic turns of events.

Luke Richardson and Graham Hicks have pulled out of the competition early on in the qualifier rounds. Hicks first announced dropping out via his Instagram on June 14. Ervin Toots from Estonia replaced Hicks – who also switched qualifier group spots with Gavin Bilton.

Terry Hollands also suffered an injury during the first round of qualifiers and later announced that he would be officially retiring from the World’s Strongest Man competition completely. Additionally, last year’s champion Oleksii Novikov had some trouble early on with the loading medley event and was unable to finish. This put him at a disadvantage going into the rest of the competition.
