Tom Ryan Stoltman (born 30 May 1994) is a British professional strongman competitor, from Invergordon, Scotland. He is a three time winner of the World's Strongest Man in 2021, 2022, and 2024. He also won the national title of Britain's Strongest Man on the same years. Nicknamed "The Albatross" due to his sizeable arm span, Stoltman is known for his prowess with the Atlas Stones. In 2020, Stoltman broke the world record for the 5 Atlas Stones (light set) 100–180 kilograms (220–397 lb), completing them in just 16.01 seconds; he also holds the world record for the heaviest Atlas stone ever lifted over a 1.22 metres (4.0 ft) bar at 286 kilograms (631 lb).[3][4]
On 20 June 2021, Stoltman won the 2021 World's Strongest Man competition, becoming the first man from Scotland to win the World's Strongest Man and the fifth British person to do so.[5] On 29 May 2022, Stoltman won the 2022 World's Strongest Man, becoming only the second Briton to win two titles (37 years after Geoff Capes) and the first to win back-to-back titles. In the 2023 World's Strongest Man, he emerged as the runner-up behind Mitchell Hooper, and then in the 2024 World's Strongest Man he reclaimed his title, becoming the only Briton to have won three World's Strongest Man titles.
Tom Stoltman is the younger brother of the two-time Europe's Strongest Man and five-time Scotland's Strongest Man, Luke Stoltman, with whom he runs their YouTube channel "The Stoltman Brothers".
