Zydrunas Savickas Sweeps Strongman Champions League in Lithuania, Breaks Two World Records . . . 210-kg Log Lift! by Randall J. Strossen, Ph.D. | ©2008 IronMind


Not content to merely win the Strongman Champions League Lithuanian 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 (5 m 40 cm) and log lift (210 kg). Not just flexing his muscles with this performance, Zydrunas Savickas put his stamp on two of the basic tests of power and overall strength with his outstanding performance.

Here are the final places and points:

1. Zydrunas Savickas (Lithuania), 84.0 points
2. Vidas Blekaitis (Lithuania), 66.5 points
3. Vilius Petrauskas (Lithuania), 61.0
4. Igor Pedan (Russia), 60.0 points
5. Erwin Katona (Serbia), 56.5 points
6. Agris Kazelniks (Latvia), 46.5 points
7. Zdenek Sedmik (Czech), 45.5 points
8. Anders Johansson (Sweden), 29.0 points
9. Jimmy Laureys (Belgium), 27.5 points
10. Aleksandr Lashyn (Ukraine), 26.5 points
11. Tobias Ide (Germany), 21.5 points
12. Simon Sulaiman (Syria), 17.5 points

These results are official, and IronMind would like to say a special word of thanks to Lithuanian Strongman Federation General Secretary Lina Kirkliauskaite.



I believe the log was 462. :F:
