Showing the interest generated by the show, speculation about World’s Strongest Man 2010 details swirl well in advance of the official announcements, and now that the guessing game involving the location and dates of the 2010 edition of WSM has ended, and the primary players are known even if not yet announced, interest has shifted to speculation about the events.
In the days of some of the biggest names in strongman history, a log lift in the range of 160 kg was world class. In Paris earlier this year, Zydrunas Savickas banged out 6 reps on a 160-kg log in less than one minute for a new Strongman Champions League (SCL) record. IronMind | Randall J. Strossen photo.

The big news in the strongman world yesterday was that World’s Strongest Man winner Zydrunas Savickas had gotten married over the weekend, but there’s more to the story because yesterday marked the beginning of his training specifically for the 2010 World’s Strongest Man contest.
Zydrunas Savickas is a strongman who keeps his lip buttoned and lets his performances speak for themselves. But don’t think quiet means docile: This photo was taken seconds after Zydrunas realized he had won the 2009 World’s Strongest Man contest and there are teeth in his look. IronMind® | Randall J.
