-1. How much time do you spend training and how did you get to know this sport and be interested in it?
I actually started armwreslting in 1988 after having seeing some report in a magazine, I went to the first nationals that I won and all started fro this point.
I now train 3 times a week 2 hours in a gym working out angles I need in a insane training way, I dont do anymore table time as I dont have too much time and cause my elbow is suffering of osteoarthritis, so less table time and better healthy arm
-2. What armwresther do you admire most and why?
I am certainly not the only one to admire John Brzenk, I mean he is the man who has done the most complete carreer in armwrestling, and sure has the best abilites to do anything at the tables, there is as well few other ones that were or still are great for example Cvetan Gashevski

Still trying to become once european and world champion

I like diving, as well having a walk in moutain

Still my work and as well to stay healthy
