Tom Stoltman was born in Invergordon, Ross and Cromarty to parents Ben and Sheila, ten years after his older brother and fellow strongman competitor Luke. He was diagnosed with autism at the age of 5.[6][7][8] Tom attended Newmore Primary School and Invergordon Academy in the Scottish Highlands where he developed his passion for playing football. As a result of his performances in the school football team, Stoltman was invited to Ross County and Rangers youth set up for trials.[9] Inspired by Luke's success as Scotland's Strongest Man, Stoltman switched his attention to weight training in the local gym at the age of 16. Within a year, he was showing such potential that Luke decided to take him under his wing and guide him through training for strongman.[8]
Strongman career
Aged 18, Stoltman entered and won his first competition, Highlands Strongest Man. This was followed by success at the Scotland's Strongest Man (SSM) qualifier where he subsequently placed 5th in the main event.[8] In 2015 Stoltman reached the podium of SSM, finishing second only to his elder brother Luke the next three years in a row.

These performances gained him an invitation to his first World's Strongest Man, but he withdrew from the competition after the first two events in the heats. This was followed up by taking his first SSM win ahead of Luke in 2018, and an 8th-place finish at the World's Ultimate Strongman (WUS) in Dubai the same year.[11][8]
Stoltman ranked 5th at the 2019 WSM and 3rd at WUS,.[12][13] He also won his second SSM trophy and a podium finish at BSM. In 2020 Stoltman returned to the World's Strongest Man finals in Florida, finishing in second place after a low scoring finish in the Hercules Hold.[8] At BSM in the same year, Stoltman took 2nd place and broke the world record for the Giants Live light set of 100–180 kilograms (220–400 lb) Castle Stones in 16.01 seconds.[3]
In 2021, Stoltman won the 2021 World's Strongest Man title in Sacramento, California. He won two of the first five events, placing him in first ahead of four-time winner Brian Shaw going into the final event. The win was sealed with Stoltman completing the Atlas Stone (140–210 kilograms (310–460 lb)) run in 20.21 seconds, taking the event win and overall title to Scotland for the first time in the competition's history.[14] Stoltman also won Britain's Strongest Man in 2021, the same year in which his brother Luke won Europe's Strongest Man.[15] Stoltman ended his season coming 2nd place at the Rogue Invitational.
In 2022, Stoltman successfully defended his BSM title at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, England. At World's Strongest Man, Stoltman took first in his heat, winning the first 4 events. In the final, Stoltman faced three former winners: four-time winner Shaw, 2019 winner Martins Licis, and 2020 winner Oleksiy Novikov. Stoltman won by a margin of 10.5 points, becoming only the second Briton to win two titles, 37 years after Geoff Capes and the first ever to win back-to-back titles.[16]
After a brief period away from competing, in 2023, Stoltman came in 2nd place in the 2023 WSM, behind champion Mitchell Hooper. He followed this up by beating Hooper at their next competition, Giants Live Strongman Classic at the Royal Albert Hall though was pipped to first place by 0.5 points. At the 2023 Shaw Classic, Stoltman had a slow start, picking up 0 points on the first event, but went on to win 3 of the 4 events on day 2, more event wins than any other competitor, and reach the podium.[17] During the show, Tom won the Hummer Deadlift event where he pulled 499 kilograms (1,100 lb).[17] Stoltman rounded off his 2023 season winning the World Tour Finals in his native country at Glasgow and finishing 2nd at the Rogue Invitational.
