Meinardas Valkevičius is a Lithuanian triathlete and endurance athlete who is preparing for a challenging swim across the Baltic Sea, aiming to connect Sweden to Lithuania. This ambitious endeavor, which he plans to undertake in late July or August, has been a long-held dream that he is finally pursuing after years of contemplation. Valkevičius has a rich background in endurance sports, having completed multiple Ironman competitions and ultramarathons.
