Miscellaneous: Zydrunas Savickas was born on July 15, 1975 in Birzai, Lithuania. As a child he was stronger and taller than his most of his classmates and after watching a strongman contest on TV in 1989, he decided to try to become a professional strongman. At age 16 he entered his first strongman contest and, although he did not win, he beat a number of adult competitors in the contest. During his teenage years he also began to train in Powerlifting (starting at age 13) and in only his second contest he set new Lithuanian records. For several years he competed in both sports, totaling over 2200 pounds to win the silver medal in the IPF World Powerlifting Championships in 2000.

Zydrunas' powerlifting career was cut short when he suffered a double knee injury in a strongman contest in 2001. Although some felt he could never lift again, Zydrunas continued training, focusing over the past five years primarily on strongman contests. Now, Zydrunas is considered by nearly everyone to be the strongest man in the world, as he is a six-time winner of the Arnold Strongman Classic (2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008), the current (2009) winner of the TWI World's Strongest Man Contest, and the 2009 winner of the prestigious Fortissimus contest in Canada. If he wins the 2010 ASC event it would be equivalent to winning all the grand slam events in tennis in one year. He did not compete at ASC in 2009 because he was opening a new gym in Vilnius where he lives. In 2010, Zydrunas returned to the Arnold Strongman Classic where, fighting an injury, he finished second to Derek Poundstone. However, later that summer he competed, and won for the second time, the TWI World's Strongest Man contest.
