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. ^ a b c 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]
