Scotland's first ever winner of World's Strongest Man has claimed the title for the second year in a row, as Tom Stoltman blew away the competition to lift the trophy.
Invergordon -born Tom defeated closest competitor Oleksii Novikov in the last two rounds of World's Strongest Man 2022, set in Sacramento California.
On Sunday evening, the 28-year-old who is also known as King of the Stones, caught up with and overtook the Ukrainian competitor, who was ahead by 3.5 points going into the final day.

In the second last round, Stoltman achieved a convincing nine points, putting him 1.5 points ahead going into the final event, known as the Atlas Stones.
The Atlas Stones is Stoltman’s signature event meaning he was the strong favourite once it got to that stage.
And the 6ft8 strongman didn’t disappoint and he came out of the final round with a convincing 10.5 lead at the top of the pile that was enough to claim his second title in a row.

Speaking to USA Today, Tom said: "To do it once is unbelievable. Back to back? Almost unheard of."
He also noted that nerves were not an issue going into the final day, despite behind behind. Tom added: “You still have to keep your head in it.
“You can’t overthink these things. It was kind of an easy ride to the end for me.”
Tom's brother Luke, who was also competing, has won Scotland's Strongest Man five times, and was also the winner of the Europe Strongest Man title in 2019.
In all four times that Tom has competed in World's Strongest Man, he has came fifth, third, and now first for two years in a row - some achievement!
