Not content to merely win the Strongman Champions League Lithuania Grand Prix, Zydrunas Savickas also won every event and broke two world records - not a bad day for the man widely considered to be the strongest man on the strongman circuit.
Zydrunas Savickas yielded no ground at the Strongman Champions League Grand Prix in Palanga, Lithuania, where he swept the events and broke two world records along the way: weight for height, using a 25-kg beer keg (5 m 40 cm) and log lift (210 kg). Not just flexing his muscles with this performance, Zydrunas Savickas put his stamp on two basic tests of power and overall strength with his outstanding performance.
