What is the World's Strongest Man 2025 prize money?
The exact prize fund for this year's competition is yet to be revealed, but reports suggest that it could be higher than the 2024 winnings.
Tom Stoltman pocketed $100,016 for lifting last year's crown, according to reports.
But the total prize pot was reportedly a record-breaking sum of $263,200.
Looking ahead to the 2025 edition, we could see a further increase on top of the big bucks earned by winners in previous years.
Prize money is also given to the runners-up for their efforts and cash is distributed among the top performers.

How Man Utd plan to fund £2billion new stadium with ‘sinister' tactic from the US
MANCHESTER UNITED are reportedly planning to fund their new £2billion stadium with a 'sinister' tactic from the US. The Red Devils announced plans for a mega 100,000-seater arena in March after deciding to replace Old Trafford. 3 Man Utd are planning to fund their new £2billion stadium with a 'sinister' US tactic Credit: Getty 3 The Red Devils announced plans for a 100,00-seater arena in March Credit: Reuters The new stadium will be the biggest in the country. And a local regeneration project is expected to create thousands of jobs and new homes. United believe once the £2bn stadium and surrounding areas are complete, it will generate £7bn annually into the economy. United's plans are expected to cost upwards of £4.2bn in total.

In order to build their stadium, United must move a rail freight hub which currently sits on land needed for the project. And it's claimed they want the UK government to pay the estimated costs, which could reach £300million – but has previously been estimated at as much as £1bn. In the past, West Ham's London Stadium and Manchester City's Etihad Stadium were built with public money.

Politicians including Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham had previously declared that no public funds would be used to build United's new stadium.

This follows a 'sinister' trend across the pond in the US, where public funds are often handed to sport teams for new stadiums. In 2016, the Las Vegas Raiders were handed £555m when they were still a California-based franchise. Three years ago, the Buffalo Bills received £629m of public funding, while the Washington Commanders are currently in the process of landing £740m - which works out at $1bn. The money is handed out with the promise of returning major numbers to the economy. But Pat Garofalo, of the American Economic Liberties Project, told The Guardian: 'That's the story they tell to get the public money, but it's the big lie. 'We (in the US) export a lot of problematic things, and I really hope that we don't export that big lie.' The Guardian adds that Manchester United declined to comment.

Emma Raducanu has hired a new is a sentence which we have heard several times since the 22-year-old Briton emerged from nowhere to win the 2021 US Open title as a teenage the appointment of Francisco Roig – a wily Spaniard who helped Rafael Nadal win all of his 22 Grand Slam titles - feels like a longer-term bet as Raducanu looks to continue her upward into next week's US Open - their second tournament together - the world number 35 is hoping Roig can take her even higher."Francis is the best coach I worked with by far," former Spanish number two Feliciano Lopez, who worked with Roig for several years, told BBC Sport."He's patient but also demanding. He will push you until whatever he thinks needs fixing is fixed." What can Roig provide? Everyone you speak to about the 57-year-old Catalan says the same thing early in the conversation – that his technical knowledge is after he stopped working with Lopez, Roig linked up with Nadal in 2005 as a second coach behind his uncle Toni and helped the swashbuckling left-hander become an all-time Roig left the team in 2022 for a different challenge, former world number one Nadal hailed the former ATP Tour player for making him "better and better"."Francis is a very good coach and a man who can help Raducanu to improve technically - he puts a lot of attention on this," Toni Nadal told BBC Sport."In today's game every player hits the ball very fast. But in the end tennis is about power and control - when you hit the ball fast without a good technique it is difficult to put five or six balls inside the court in a row."This is what Francis explains to players. I think he can help Raducanu to become a very good tennis player again."Having missed the bulk of the 2023 season following operations on wrist and ankle injuries, Raducanu has steadily rebuilt her revolving door of new coaches has slowed down and another full-time appointment was always a priority after Nick Cavaday stepped back in January because of health reasons. Since Mark Petchey plugged the gap on an informal basis in March, Raducanu has reached a WTA semi-final in Washington, plus the Miami and Queen's relaxed and happy, she has climbed back to the cusp of the world's top 30 and played some of her best tennis since that memorable fortnight in New York four years Raducanu feels Roig can add another layer to complement the increasing resilience she has discovered this year."I can definitely improve on the quality of a lot of my shots," Raducanu said."I've been good at being creative, scrapping, playing the big points well, but the overall quality of my game needs to be better."Lopez says Roig achieves that by using unique coaching drills, which are "practical" and "specific", with his comes after he identifies technical issues by observation rather than the need for forensic video analysis."His eyes are special," close friend Jordi Vilaro, who has known Roig for more than 40 years and co-owns the BTT Academy in Barcelona with him, told BBC Sport."He can see things other coaches can't see in a 1000th of a second - they maybe need video or slow motion."Every player who trains with him for an hour plays better tennis. Win or lose is another thing, but they hit the ball better and cleaner." How's the partnership going so far? With Petchey making it clear he was unwilling to sacrifice his role as a television commentator to coach on a full-time basis, Raducanu continued to assess her availability came to attention over the summer and the pair worked together in a covert trial following likes to learn and once put her high turnover of coaches down to asking "provoking" questions. She found Roig's sessions to be stimulating, challenging and instantly encouraging."Francis is very passionate for tennis," said Vilaro."What's amazing is he can watch a match on TV and he doesn't care about the result - he's checking how they are moving, the positioning and how they are hitting the ball. He's watching many specific things."When we created the academy he said, 'I want to do it but I don't want any paperwork. I just want to be on the court'. The court is his passion."Raducanu has already impressed Roig with her work his first tournament at the helm, the pair had multiple daily practices at the Cincinnati Open, where she confidently breezed past Serbia's Olga Danilovic before – more notably – pushing world number one Aryna Sabalenka to her Raducanu fell short of a shock, it was a promising performance which provides optimism for the US Open."I spoke to Francis after Raducanu beat Danilovic and before she played Sabalenka," said Vilaro."He said, 'It's amazing, I like working with this player a lot because she loves to be on court. We spent two hours training the return, the return plus second shot and what to do when the opponent attacks'."He enjoyed it a lot. The most important thing for him is having a player who loves being on court - and it looks like this is the case." How long will Roig last? In the early part of her career, Raducanu became infamous for hiring and firing a string of full-time the past two years, working with a tight-knit group - led by people she trusts in Cavaday and Petchey - has been a better did not fare well with outsiders entering the inner circle after her US Open title and it feels like building a strong bond with Roig will be imperative to a successful future."Francis is a very good person, he is a man who you can be relaxed with and he is funny," Toni Nadal said."It is important when you are with someone with a good character, I think that is much better."But to change someone who used to do one thing is difficult. What I explain to the players - I explain simple - is that if you are happy with your level and ranking don't change anything."If you are not happy then you have to change something - something emotional, tactical or technical."But normally you need a little time and I think Raducanu has to give a little time to Francis."Judging by the smiles in a mixed doubles practice session with Carlos Alcaraz and his team at Flushing Meadows on Tuesday, Raducanu and Roig look at ease in each other's pair have already spent lots of time together in Cincinnati, where long road trips to the tournament saw Roig taking driving still described Roig as one of his "best buddies", while Roig's bond with Nadal led to the pair going fishing and playing golf and football together away from the court."There are a lot of things which great coaches need to have - to be good technically, a good psychologist and a good person," added Lopez."He has got all these qualities."

Tigers' age-defying Charlie Morton takes aim at Astros
August 20 - The Detroit Tigers completed a deal for the second-oldest player in the majors just before the trade deadline. Thus far, Charlie Morton has given the rotation a boost. Morton, who will start the finale of a three-game series against the visiting Houston Astros on Wednesday afternoon, has delivered two quality starts in three outings for his new team. On paper, Morton produced his best start of the season on Friday. The 41-year-old right-hander tossed six scoreless innings while allowing just two hits against the Minnesota Twins. However, Morton had to deal with a rain delay and an extended first inning as his teammates staked him to a 5-0 lead. The Tigers won the game 7-0. "We were talking through the first three innings, like, we really weren't on the same page," catcher Dillon Dingler said. "He was trying to find a feel for his curveball but we were able to mix in the other pitches. He's got so many great pitches that move so much." Once Morton was able to control his celebrated curveball, Minnesota batters had no chance. "I need my breaking ball," Morton said. "So whatever we've got to do, whatever we've got to do to get it going. I know we had a lead, but you still have to get through some innings. My glove-side breaking ball, even when I hit guys or if I'm yanking a couple, it's not the end of the world. But (Friday) early, it was trying to get it going for strikes." He will face a Houston offense mired in a deep slump. The Astros were shut out four of the past five games. They haven't scored in 28 innings, including 10 empty frames on Tuesday as the Tigers pulled out a 1-0 win. Morton (8-10, 5.20 ERA) has a 4-6 record and 5.97 ERA in 12 career starts against the Astros. He was also a key member of the Astros during their 2017 championship run, including his four-inning relief stint for the win in Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Framber Valdez (11-6, 3.01 ERA), Morton's mound opponent on Wednesday, cruised through the first four months of the season. It's been a different story in August, during which he is 0-2 with a 5.89 ERA in three starts. Valdez lasted 6 2/3 innings in his most recent outing against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. The 31-year-old left-hander gave up four runs (three earned) and nine hits while recording six strikeouts and walking one. His pitching opponent that night, Brandon Young, had a perfect game going until there were two outs in the eighth. "I would say 100 percent it affected me," Valdez said. "I felt like I couldn't even sit down and I was already walking up to get out there. Sometimes that's just the game of baseball. Sometimes a pitcher is going to have a better game. Sometimes they're going to throw a perfect game. ... I felt like I couldn't get a drink of water in and I was already out there." Valdez is 2-2 with a 2.49 ERA in eight career outings against the Tigers, including seven starts. --Field Level Media
