Career

Žydrūnas Savickas first became interested in strength sports after watching a Lithuanian strongman contest on TV in 1989.[3][10] 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.[11]

In 1998, Savickas won his first Lithuania's Strongest Man contest.[11] He would later go on to win this contest a total of 17 times, with the latest coming in 2022.[12] 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 1,020 kg (2,250 lb),[4][13] just 2.5 kg (5.5 lb) behind Brad Gillingham.[14]

2001–2008

In 2001, a contest in the Faroe Islands 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.[10] 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.[11] 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 five more times in 2003, 2004, 2011, 2013 and 2015 and 1st place at the 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2014 World's Strongest Man contests.

Savickas won the Arnold Strongman Classic six consecutive times from 2003 to 2008.[3] Savickas won the IFSA European Championships in 2005 which qualified him for the IFSA World Championships.[15] In September 2005, he broke three world records and won the IFSA Strongman World Championships in Quebec, Canada.[16] In December 2005, Savickas won the IFSA World Team Championships with Team Europe and won the IFSA World Championships for the 2nd time in 2006 in Reykjavík, Iceland.[16]

Legacy

In his career which spanned 25 years facing 3 generations of strongmen, Žydrūnas has competed in more competitions than anyone else (153) and has won more international competitions than anyone else (84) as well.[52] His winning percentage of 55% is seconded only to Mariusz Pudzianowski. However, the winning streak and number of victories of Žydrūnas Savickas, as evidenced by nearly 250 trophies and 200 medals, may never be matched.[53] During an interview with strongman analyst Laurence Shahlaei in 2020, Žydrūnas said that Mariusz Pudzianowski, Svend Karlsen, Derek Poundstone, Brian Shaw and Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson are the 5 greatest strongmen he has competed against.[54]

In brief, Žydrūnas has dominated the following competitions:

Political career

Savickas entered politics as a member of the Liberal and Centre Union and expressed interest to run for office since 2008.[55] In 2012, he explained that participating in politics was a "pastime", as he saw his sporting career as his free time and didn't understand what sportsmen are "supposed to do all day".[56]

In 2011, he joined the nonpartisan team of former Mayor of Vilnius, Artūras Zuokas, and won a seat in the Vilnius municipal council in the 2011 local elections.[57] He stated that he does not have large political ambitions and will be an "observer".[58] During his time in office, he led a councillor group on promoting culture and combating alcoholism.[59]

He ran with Zuokas's political party YES in the Biržai-Kupiškis constituency in the 2012 parliamentary election,[60] however, he did not get to the second round. After it merged with the Liberal and Centre Union to form the Lithuanian Freedom Union, he joined the Liberal Movement instead.[61] He ran as their candidate in the Naujoji Vilnia constituency in the 2016 parliamentary election.[62] Describing his political views as a candidate to the Seimas, he identified as a businessman as well as a sportsman, and expressed his desire to lower taxes and reduce the bureaucratic apparatus.[63]

From 2020 onwards, he began spreading information about George Soros, Antifa,[64] and the COVID-19 vaccine.[65] In 2020, it was reported that he was a moderator of a Lithuanian QAnon conspiracy theory group on Facebook.[66] He was one of the leaders of an anti-restriction protest during the commemmoration of the January Events in 2022 and described the pandemic controls of the Šimonytė Cabinet as a "dictatorship" and "anti-constitutional",[67] which got members of the municipal council in his home town Biržai to propose revoking his honorary citizenship.[68]

He switched to the Lithuanian Regions Party and was elected to the council of Molėtai District Municipality on their list in 2023.[69]

Personal life

Savickas married his longtime girlfriend Jurgita Savickienė on July 24, 2010, in Lithuania.[70]

At the end of September 2010, a biography entitled Žydrūnas Savickas – žmogus iš geležies (Žydrūnas Savickas – A Man Of Iron) was published in Lithuania.[71]

Zydrunas Savickas has a YouTube channel where he talks on strongman related topics such as recovery, diet, and training habits. In June 2021, Žydrūnas and his wife Jurgita got divorced.

He got married for a second time on October 12, 2022, in Molėtai taking Brigita Lacytė to be his spouse.[72]
