that's for Tom Stoltman ¡wow! what a performance certainly looks like Britain's Strongest man
that's for sure, maybe he's gonna grab it here in the final turn ¡yes! he has
¡wow! Tom Stolman is on today
with Tom Stoltman and off we go
Stoltman those very long arms he can just about get his hands round you know, six foot eight
the Stoltman now starting to tire he's leading his back as far as he can is it gonna be 60
meters I think it is for steel this should be extraordinary seniors between these Stoltman boys
three titles as well for Scotland go to Luke the older ¡oh my goodness! is Tom on the far
side catching him quick but a tall man will he get a quick pick up no he doesn't not as
quick as Luke who goes down though a fumble in a stumble and it's neck and neck at the halfway
in fact Tom's just ahead but here comes Luke on the line again a fumble Tom has got him
right on the finish line. Your little brother has just handed it you how does that feel
it's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last so
yeah I've been hating how hard with Luke and now I'm just happy to be here and
compete against my role model so it's good just have a big brother to look up to like him you're
gonna be the Strongest Man here today right. I'm gonna do the strong swing in the world nevermind
and that'll be hard to beat by even "The Beast" and Shahlaei
this would be interesting because Stoltman's got a tougher pick up many ways being
taller but he was faster away but his steel surprisingly going through the years. Absolutely
steel just a picture of uh composure and the man they call "The Albatross" because of his wingspan
almost 300 pounds these barrels Danny and jogging with them certainly the height advantage makes it
easier to drop in over the edge while the Smith a good eight inches shorter we'll have to lift
it at the end and every little second counts the massive mitts as well he just slapped it on and
poured it up it's a lot easier to grab these sacks. 47.12 is the time to beat from his older
brother Luke Stoltman. Just starting to slow down a little bit now stolen no mistake there though.
Well look at this speed now really chasing his brother he's done it you know
great work from Paul Smith as well but Stoltman takes it
so far. I tore my shoulder worlds last year you know and
it also I'm gonna call it a day and just repair myself and get it checked out properly
we're coming down here to prove a point that we are not to be forgotten just because we
live in Scotland we're here to do battle with the best of britain and that's what we're doing
our next pair then it's Tom Stoltman the Inver Gordon who goliath
is Scotland's Strongest Man at the moment up against Mark Steele
from Leeds in Yorkshire and I don't believe it Tom Stoltman has fluffed his start he's done
it again he's gripped the handles all in the wrong position and Steele 10.81 seconds 10.78
is what Steele was trying to beat so he's come up just a little bit short of that
as for Tom Stoltman though has he got this pick up right at all no he's
he's too tired to pick it up again that's it 5.85 meters
number nine then can he grind it out
well this should be very exciting to see Tom Stoltman commanding the pace at the moment
not the kind of guy who normally gasses out either
running looks well perhaps just a little tentative nervous of getting too tired
just over 30 seconds now I think he's ahead of where Terry Hollands was maybe just a little
behind where his brother Luke was though maybe not maybe he's gonna grab it here at the final
turn yes he has by a couple of seconds actually ¡wow! Tom Stoltman is hot today
our penultimate pair this basically a battle for third and away he goes those size 19 feet on Tom
Stoltman charging round he rips the first three off the ground like they're nothing
Shahlaei is struggling to keep up he's got to do his own game now because
Tom Stoltman is on his own level entirely 18 seconds I've never seen him quicker at Britain's
I set up Britain's you know people ripped me off but like I'm just coming back every year now I'm
proving people wrong I should have I should have won britain's but my mistake cost it
it's quick yeah it was ¡uh! the plan was a steady
dark walk and then use my ¡uh! big feet to get advantageous
I wrong in my day and I am confident and I do not rush in training.
which I kept like a secret but like yeah on my day I think I could hit 18 seconds of a 200k storm
now "the Albatross" ¡Tom Stoltman!, Stoltman the younger
has been Scotland's Strongest Man
of course the reigning champion Britain's Strongest Man Adam Bishop a lot of pressure
on Bishop right from the start. There's been some mind games going on and I think Bish for a while
falling to the pressure but he really gave himself a talking to in the last couple of weeks and he
looks sharp and sharp there as well he's just behind Tom though. This is fantastic from both men
fast time on the third from Stoltman right behind in Bishop
both men had to press it out a little bit which couldn't mean this fourth one
is going to be tricky 110 kilograms ¡oh! Tom using his legs beautifully
well Tom was just a second or so behind Luke's time on the four
see if he gets this fifth dumbbell he's won the opening event. Bish got the fourth
very close. These two men head to head it always seems to be Tom who relishes
the chance of beating big brother more you this know good although oh dear Luke
struggling slightly at the 10 meter Mark while Tom rushes ahead 11.56
that Bishop takes it. He can certainly pull a deadlift but it's very low it's even lower than
a normal bar and of course when you're what I'm near six foot nine like he is but he's gonna blow
past his brother here I doubt he'll beat Hixxy, though Hixxy is indeed a master at deadlifting,
of these men neck and neck. He's a little slow there Graham, Tom capitalizing just nips ahead
both men look pretty tired as well that stiff bar you take all the weight right from the get-go
well it's Tom who's got the necessary energy to go to eight.
Well that was a great battle there between Hicks and Stoltman both with eight reps
he's got the motivation to try and beat these boys who've both done very well, both men great at this
as we can see from that well Tom Stoltman nearly stumbling after a very fast start
let's be honest Bishop needs to win this event he really does he's traditionally not as good
as Tom Stoltman in the stones maybe a big gamble after going to the stones behind him
Stoltman really just built for this event. Look at him chew up the ground with these strides
it's almost impossible for Bishop to keep up with him. A little error there from Bishop didn't help
36 to beat the speed of Stoltman and he did that didn't. He did he get his hands off in time I
think he did just yes 35.01 seconds Stoltman takes ¡wow!
a performance certainly looks like Britain's Strongest Man that's for sure and he's going
to have a lead going into his favorite event feels like a rerun of last year doesn't it these two men
shooting out in the stones, Adam Bishop did just enough that day big tom won it of course on the stones
but didn't win overall now Bish he needs to win this and by some margin
just two epic stone lifters here and it comes down to the fifth
oh a slip from Stoltman but he still gets enough quickest Bishop's struggling but manages and
Tom Stoltman takes the castle stone to a brilliant time 18.85 seconds
yeah look at that quite right it's the opposite of last year this time it's Tom Stoltman
it goes north of the border for the first time since 1995 I think Danny
so the title goes to Scotland and this man
Epic athlete Tom Stoltman
