#ŽalgirisChallenge featured a never-before-seen duo – the captains of the Kaunas "Žalgiris” basketball and football teams.

Both Žalgiris players faced various questions about basketball and football. Upon hearing a question about the opponent's sport, the participants from the opposing team had an advantage – they could guess first.

"I know how to shoot, let’s go to the tirade,” joked F. Černych after one correct guess.

E. Ulanovas and F. Černych had to guess who was the first Žalgiris player to bring Paulius Jankūnas to practice, how many LKL championship titles the "Žalgiris” club has, and which legend’s jersey was raised to the arena rafters the earliest.

"I’ve forgotten about it somewhere for ten years... I was counting from 1991 to around 2016,” the captain of the football team said, grabbing his head.

When asked football-related questions, the participants had to name the most prolific football player in the history of "Kauno Žalgiris,” the year football was established in the "Žalgiris” organization, or the players who played the most matches for the club.

In the second part of the quiz, the captains faced questions about foreign football and basketball, which made the Žalgiris players really think hard.

"My supported team is Madrid’s ‘Real,’ I hope they have won the most. I remember they recently won their tenth title,” E. Ulanovas spoke about the UEFA Champions League.
