Why are most of the men in the World's Strongest Men championships from Eastern Europe?

I was just wondering why most of the competitors in the World's Strongest Men Championships that are aired on ESPN are from Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, etc. Do they have special funding and supports for these competitors in those Eastern European countries, kind like how some countries funnel money into Olympic training? Thanks.

i dont know.
i just know that russians are beasts.

i dont know LOL I have noticed the same thing myself though

steroids are legal there

well, most men in europe train as much as possible and become stronger, whereas most people in america are lazy or fat. its just like how the japanese are really smart

the european being a strenght athlete is considered a prestigious like in america the sports stars are football, baseball, and basketball players its like there other big sport soccer
