Žydrūnas Savickas (Lithuanian pronunciation: [ʒiːdˈrûːnɐs sɐˈvʲɪt͡skɐs]; born July 15, 1975) is a Lithuanian powerlifter and professional strongman. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest strongman competitors of all time, being the only modern strongman competitor to have won every current major strongman competition - many times in multiple years.[4]
He stands 1.91 m (6 ft 3 in) and competes at 180 kg (400 lb).[5] Savickas is often referred to by his nickname, "Big Z".
Powerlifting/Strongman career
Savickas first became interested in strength sports after watching a Lithuanian strongman contest on TV in 1989. Three years later, he took part in that same strongman contest, and defeated a number of older and more experienced competitors. At age 17, Savickas began to train in powerlifting. In his second powerlifting contest, he broke all the Lithuanian records.
In 1998, Savickas won his first Lithuania's Strongest Man contest. He would later go on to win this contest a total of 7 times. Savickas then competed in the 1998 and 2000 World's Strongest Man contests, but failed to qualify for the finals both times. He won the silver medal in the World powerlifting championship in Japan with a total of 1020 kg, just 2.5 kg behind Brad Gillingham.
2001–2008
A contest in the Faroe Islands in 2001 dealt Savickas a major setback, as he tore both patellar tendons during the conan's wheel event. Many believed that the extent of the injury meant that his career was over. However, nine months later Savickas won the Lithuanian powerlifting championships, and a short time later he also won the 2002 Lithuania's Strongest Man contest. Savickas would go on to finish in 2nd place at the 2002 World's Strongest Man in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He would finish in 2nd place 5 more times in 2003, 2004, 2011, 2013 and 2015 and 1st place at the 2009, 2010 World's Strongest Man, 2012 World's Strongest Man and 2014 World's Strongest Man contests.
Savickas won the Arnold Strongman Classic six consecutive times from 2003–2008. Savickas won the IFSA European Championships in 2005 which qualified him for the world championships. In September 2005, he broke three world records and won the IFSA Strongman World Championships in Quebec, Canada. Savickas won the 2005 IFSA World Team Championships with Team Europe and won the IFSA World Championships for a 2nd time in 2006 in Reykjavík, Iceland. In 2007, Savickas finished in 3rd place at the last ever IFSA World Championships behind runner-up Mikhail Koklyaev and Champion Vasyl Virastyuk in Geumsan, South Korea.
On October 24, 2005, Savickas represented Lithuania in a team competition with Vidas Blekaitis, Saulius Brusokas, and Vilius Petrauskas. Team Lithuania team placed 5th overall at the IFSA World's Strongest Nation contest in Ukraine.
