Notes

  1. Gavin Bilton withdrew on the start of day two of the competition due to the recommendation of the medical staff.[6]
  2. Adam Bishop finished in second place in the group and progressed through to the stone off however during the car walk he sustained a ruptured achilles and withdrew from the competition.[8] The stone off was therefore between third and fourth place instead of second and third.
  3. Bobby Thompson sustained an injury in the Webster Stones and took no further part in the competition.[11]
  4. Tom Stoltman, Mitchell Hooper and Wesley Derwinsky set a new world record in the 15 kilograms (33 lb) keg toss for height,[16] breaking the previous record of 7.75 metres (25.4 ft) set by Brian Shaw at the 2021 World's Strongest Man.[17]
