I am from Réunion and we have a world-class ultra-trail there. Back in the days there was a Lithuanian guy who was tough as hell, running through the mountains as if they were a single flight of stairs. I am eager to bet he is virtually unknown in his country, but it tells you all you need to know about Lithuanians being ready for sustained painful efforts in sports. [Gediminas Grinius](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gediminas_Grinius). 👍🇫🇷🇱🇹
If the boat was inflatable and he was black, DeSantis would’ve bussed him right to Martha’s Vineyard.
As a fellow Lithuanian, I am so proud of this guy for representing our country in such an incredible way! I can’t even imagine the kind of physical and mental strength that takes.
Poor guy. No one told him there’s a Disney in France now.
Them lats though
“On Tuesday, 25 April, Aurimas Valujavičius reached the United States becoming the third person in the world and the first Lithuanian to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean from Europe.”
Yeah looks like he got the lats to back it up lol. Holy shit. Dude built like a straw but has one hell of a cobra 🐍 back
I don’t know the name of the underarm/back type muscle group in pic 3, but jeez attach wings he’d fly.
Why didn’t he use a sail ? Is he dumb ?
They say solo, but did he receive supplies whilst on voyage? Hard to believe that this small boat can hold enough water and food for him to survive for 4 months (an Athlet working out heavily all day long will at least need 2 1/2 liters of water a day, if not 3).
Regardless of that, this is obviously an incredible athletic feat.
What did he eat and drink? Did he have a water purifier and ate astronaut food? I don’t think he was fishing..
4 months of eating peanuts, rowing and jumping in the sea to take a dump…sounds oddly peaceful?
Wouldn’t New York be a lot closer to Spain than Florida?
How do you do something like this? How do you deal with storms and stuff?
