” CrossFit is very picky how their brand is used. the contest is something we are doing ‘piggy backing’ the Open and not offically endorsed by CF. Thanks so much for understanding. 🙂 “

” Denis Tsyplenkov will participate in the absolute championship of Russia

Less than a week before the opening of the championship of Russia on armsportu. The site PAA completed pre-registration of participants. The list of participants in the open category we saw Dennis Tsyplenkova and contacted him by phone that he has clarified the situation. Dennis said that the fight is sure to be, but only for the title of undisputed champion. Recall that last year, Dennis took part in the main competition, but only in the fight with his left hand. Weight Tsyplenkova now 135 lbs. The main rival considers Ukrainian Andrei Pushkarev. Intrigue in the confrontation between the two heroes adds the involvement in the category Dagestani Khadzhimuradov Omarova who sensationally won the championship of Russia Denis in 2011, but then lost his absolyutke. Also do not forget the current absolute champion of Russia Arsene Lilieva. In general, the fight promises to be hot.

” OK, to clear that amazing fact of Arsen beating Denis, when he could not move him at all year ago. Cyplenkov (2 place) and Pushkar(4 place) killed themselves pulling each other in half finals, while Liliev(1place) and Zoloev(3place) in their fight made deal, Zoloev loose(fake) to Liliev, thus both went to finals fresh. Result: Liliev over Cyplenkov, Zoloev over Pushkar. Poor Pushkar had to go against Zoloev with no recovery at all! Great team work (Liliev and Zoloev train together in same gym) ”

Arnold Armwrestling Challenge

” The 2013 Arnold Armwrestling Challenge will test which of the world’s top athletes in arm sports has the most “pull” during the Arnold Sports Festival.

Each year the titans of arm sports gather inside the Greater Columbus Convention Center on the Arnold EXPO stage for two days of armsport action.  The preliminary round is Friday, March 1, 2013 from 10:30 a.m.-noon and the thrilling final round is Saturday, March 2, 2013 from 9-10 a.m.

Past champions include George Iszakouits, Margie Ciaccio, and Josie Moieeun. They will be joined by 110 others that qualified by winning a national or world level event.

“The Arnold is the premiere arm sport event in the world,” said Fairfax Hackley, event co-director. “The top athletes from Canada, Poland, Russia and the United States will compete including many world champions.”

“Armwrestlers stand facing each other across a table, one hand grasping an upright peg for leverage and the other hand grasping the opponent’s hand,” said Leonard Harkless, event co-director.  “A ‘pin’ is scored when a wrestler touches the opponent to an elevated touch pad, or forces the opponent’s hand, fingers or wrist below the pad.”

“Winning involves a combination of technique and strength of hand, wrist, forearm, bicep and shoulder”, said Denise Wattles, event co-director.  “Winning athletes often come from occupations that use those muscles, such as carpenters, machinists and posthole diggers.”
