“This weekend MHP SCL travels to Lithuania, home of strongman legend Zydrunas Savickas, where the 13th stage of Strongman Champions League will take place,” Ilkka Kinnunen reported to IronMind today.

And for all strongman fans within reach of Eurosport, “Don’t forget to watch SCL Poland this Friday, October 3, at 21.00 hours,” Kinnunen said.
Marcel Mostert confirmed for IronMind that “Zydrunas Savickas will not be competing,” and he added that “Ervin Katona, the current SCL leader, will be present but has a biceps injury, so the expectation is that he can only do a few events, which opens the door to a new SCL leader . . . either Martin Wildauer or Krzysztof Radzikowski.
“And the further question is, Will Krzysztof take the 5th victory in a row in SCL?!”
If that’t not enough, an amateur strongman show will open for the pros, so here’s the address if you’ll be in town: Lithuanian Exhibition and Congress Centre LITEXPO, Laisves ave. 5, Vilnius, Lithuania
