Many thanks to Nino Salvatore Fernandez for this interview with Wagner Bortolato.
This is just a fragment, read the full interview on: spainarmwrestler.blogspot.com.es

-1. How much time do you spend training and how did you get to know this sport and be interested in it?
I started out doing arm wrestling in 1999. The interest in this sport came when I was not feeling good about myself and was going through a depression, then solve it CBLB seeking.

-2. What armwresther do you admire most and why?
To be honest I don’t have a favorite fighter, I admire them all, because I know how difficult it is to practice this kind of sport strength in our planet.

-3. What are your expectations in this sport?
I would love it to become an Olympic sport, but I do not know if it would be possible.

-4. What other sport do you practice?
Just arm wrestling

-5. What advice would you give to the young boys and girls who start with this sport?
Optimism, humility, claw, companionship and patience, because one day things will get better.

-6. Apart from this sport… what other objectives do you have for your future?
I am still not sure about what will be best for me and for humanity, as there are many things around the game.

-7. What armwrestling tecnique do you think is the best?
All the techniques are interesting, but I prefer the crossover game, because in addition to the pure strength to be threaded, the fight becomes much more beautiful to the beholder.

-8. What has been your worst dissapointment in this sport?
I would like for our sport to be more recognized and publicized, because this is the way it becomes pleasure for us, the practitioners.

UPDATE: Click ► RESULTS: Doping Control WAF Worlds 2013 │ 35th World Armwrestling Championships 2013

Igor Mazurenko – vk (Google Translate):

” World Federation of in shock! Already 12 people again caught on doping control at the last world championships in Poland! Full results and the names of those who fell on Monday will be on our web site! ” 

This is a weird and sad coincidence, because at EuroArm 2013 – DOPING CONTROL RESULTS were also 12 armwrestlers tested positive for doping.
