Tom Stoltman ‘delighted’ to scoop Influencer of the Year in Sport award

Tom Stoltman says he is “delighted” to have scooped an award for Influencer of the Year in Sport, citing his heartfelt message to empower autistic people.

With a following of 424,000 on Instagram, Tom Stoltman and his brother Luke have regularly been dubbed the world's strongest brothers after a string of successes at competitions across the globe.

Sharing his success, Tom said on his social media: “It was a privilege to win the Scottish Influencer Awards, Influencer of the Year in Sport 2024. I couldn’t attend the awards ceremony in Glasgow because of my competition in America, but I was delighted to receive the award.

“To think that I’m influencing people not only with my continuing sporting achievements, but also with my message that autism is a superpower, means the world to me.

“Just changing one person’s life for the better through my message and story means more than all the trophies I’ve won combined.

“Thanks again to everyone who nominated me, time to get back to work! Stay spicy.”
