Luke Stoltman has competed in 36 International and 12 National competitions over a career spanning more than a decade, winning three. He has faced tough competition, including Brian Shaw, Hafthor Bjornsson, Eddie Hall, and his brother Tom Stoltman.
The 2024 Strongest Man On Earth will occur from August 16-18 in Loveland, Colorado. Organizers still must find a replacement for Luke Stoltman, but his absence will be noticeable.
Luke Stoltman has not yet revealed his future plans but is expected to return later in the season. His injury adds another chapter to his remarkable career of overcoming challenges and achieving triumphs.
