Luke Richardson (born 20 June 1997) is a British strongman and powerlifter.
Richardson started his career as a powerlifter and was the 2018 Junior 120kg+ champion. [3] He was tied with Pavlo Nakonechnyy, both totaling 1,010.5 kg (2,228 lb) but won outright due to his lower body-weight.
He then switched to strongman and won the 2020 Europe's Strongest Man competition, becoming the youngest winner in the history of that contest. [4] He also competed twice at the World's Strongest Man competition, securing 9th place in 2020. He withdrew from the 2021 competition due to a distal biceps tendon rupture that occurred during the loading medley race in his qualifying heat. [5]
In 2023, Richardson won the 2023 Giants Live version of the England’s Strongest Man competition. [6] After a series of injury setbacks, Richardson recorded two Giants Live podium finishes in 2024 at the World Open and World Tour Finals.
In 2025, Richardson won Europe's Strongest Man for the second time. He ended the competition with 51 points from the five events, 3.5 clear of fellow Englishman Paddy Haynes in second. [7] At the World's Strongest Man, he again failed to reach the finals.
