The Lithuanian national is set to perform at the Kenya Strongest Man Competition 2018 finals

The strongest man of all time, Zydrunas Savickas, arrived at Standard Group offices where he demonstrated his strength and dragged a truck live on KTN on Friday.

Earlier in the day, Ž.Savickas took part in local power fights at Nairobi’s fire station, where he pulled a fire truck.

In a short interview with Game yetu, Zydrunas, 45, invited locals to come to Saturday's match at Nyayo Stadium and expressed his excitement of being in Kenya and promoting athletes taking part in the sport.

“I invite everybody to come (Saturday, September 29,) to watch Kenyan Strongest Man and we’ll have a lot of fun” said a panting Savickas.

“This will be a great entertainment. This championship is a great opportunity to grow talented Kenyan warriors. I am glad that I can be that part. It was not difficult to pull a car fire. I am busy and heavier buses or airplanes, “he added.
