We saw Hoath split the Deadlift win and then close with a ruthless Atlas Stones run. With both he and Wortham tied at 75.5 points, the Strongman Champions League tiebreak — most event wins — elevated Hoath’s two wins (Deadlift share + Atlas Stones) over Wortham.Athlete Notes & Season Context
- Tristain Hoath (CAN): Four career victories to date, including the 2023 Magnus Ver Magnusson Strongman Classic, 2025 Canada’s Strongest Man, and two SCL stage wins this season. His consistency against elite fields remains the difference maker.
- Nick Wortham (USA): Matched Hoath point-for-point and pushed the contest to the final stone. His speed in pulling events and static strength base signal more podiums ahead.
- Wesley Derwinsky (CAN): The engine of the day early on — wins in the Medley and Ferry Pull — and third overall after seven punishing tests.
