On October 18, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland, Luke Richardson took the overall Giants Live World Tour Finals crown while Jack Osborn claimed the Log Lift Challenge title. The finale of the 2025 strongman season brought together the toughest athletes at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro. They fought through five brutal events, beginning with the log lift. Many timed events followed, demanding speed, load-carry, and carries under fatigue.

Luke Richardson’s consistency across all events paid off. He didn’t win many events, but he never placed worse than fifth. That steady scoring earned him the title with 54 points.

Jack Osborn entered the day focused only on the log lift. He pressed 222 kg and secured the Log Lift Challenge gold and a new British record. Meanwhile, competitors who entered the full field chased the overall victory.

Young Czech star Ondřej Fojtů proved he’s among the elite. He lifted 220 kg in the log to set a junior world record then raced through the strongman events. He finished just two points behind Richardson, with Andrew Flynn taking bronze at 49.5 points.

Events Results

Event 1 — Max Log Lift / World Log Lift Challenge

The event opened with the Max Log Lift and simultaneously served as the Log Lift Challenge. Competitors attempted one-rep max lifts on a heavy log, with ranking based on best successful lift.

Jack Osborn led the way with 222 kg, establishing a British record. He did not continue into the full finals but claimed the log-only trophy. Meanwhile, full-format athletes still earned points — Ondřej Fojtů pressed 220 kg and picked up maximum finals points.

Tom Stoltman reached 200 kg for third; Luke Richardson and Ryan Bennett lifted 190 kg. The log lift separated the specialists from the all-round strongmen and set the tone for the day.

Event 2 — Load & Push

The second event fused loading heavy implements and pushing a wheelbarrow. Athletes loaded an anvil (120 kg), a tyre (100 kg), and a sack (140 kg) then pushed the barrow across the finish line. The event demanded speed, coordination, and endurance.

Luke Richardson edged out Andrew Flynn with a time of 49.52 s. Flynn followed at 49.58 s, showing how tight the competition was. Evans Nana claimed third with 51.21 s, narrowly beating several others.

This event reshuffled the leaderboard slightly. Those who transitioned smoothly between loads and push maintained momentum. Others who hesitated or misloaded paid for it in seconds.

Event 3 — Carry & Drag

For the third event, athletes performed a 10-meter duck-walk carry of a 250 kg implement, followed by a 20-meter drag of a 350 kg chain. The challenge combined heavy load, awkward movement, and speed under fatigue.

Evan Nana won the event at 28.35 s. Luke Richardson followed at 29.85 s; Andrew Flynn placed third at 31.51 s. Young competitors like Fojtů and Boudreault also posted strong times.

This test highlighted who could maintain form when taxed. Athletes with strong legs, core, and grip held up best. By now, the top contenders were clear: Richardson, Fojtů, and Flynn.

Event 4 — Wrecking Ball Hold

The fourth event was purely grip endurance: athletes held a bar connected to a 270 kg wrecking ball for as long as possible. Holding under pressure required mental toughness as well as strength.

Andrew Flynn won the hold at 91.75 s. Ondřej Fojtů came in second at 91.37 s, creating one of the closest margins of the day. Evans Nana grabbed third with 79.81 s.

This event shook the standings. Grip-heavy athletes gained big points, while others lost ground. The final stone event would be critical for the podium finishers.

Event 5 — Castle Stones

The final event forced athletes to load a series of five stones (120 kg to 200 kg) onto platforms within 60 seconds. It was a make-or-break moment for the podium.

Tom Stoltman dominated, loading all five in 23.52 s. Ondřej Fojtů followed at 29.16 s, with Gavin Bilton third at 29.98 s. Luke Richardson loaded five in 31.03 s, sealing his overall victory.

With this win, Richardson proved his all-round competence. The stone event showed that it wasn’t just about pressing or speed — it was about total strongman ability.
