Thats not true. Savickas was second in world strongest man 2004, ahead of Pudzianowski who ended third, and in 2009 Savickas won the title ahead of Pudzianowski again, who ended second

Mariusz had the most shredded physique but Kaz, particularly in the late 80s, just looked exactly how you’d imagine the Worlds Strongest Man should. His traps had traps.
