You’ve already participated in Nemiroff, how do you remember it?

My first time was in 2009, taking fourth place in the 95 kg category. I’m very pleased with that score.

Now you’re entering again.

Yes, I intend to fight in the under 95 kg category.

What do your preparations look like?

Everything is going according to the plan. I’m paying special attention to training the hook. World Championship, that is, the fight with Krasimir, showed me that my hook is weak and needs more attention.

What goals do you set for yourself in order to prepare?

I’m working long and hard to prepare for Nemiroff. I’m now at the last stage of these preparations. I’m expecting to qualify in the first five in my category.

Maybe it’s a trivial question, but I’ll ask: can John Brzenk reclaim his old position as the world champion of armwrestling?

I believe he will be first in his category, or at least in the top three.

The spotlight is on Denis Cyplenkov, every armwrestler wants to defeat him. Can anyone succeed?

No, Denis has no competition. It’s not just Nemiroff, but in the entire world Cyplenkov is unmatched by anyone.

What about Larratt? Opinions about the potential score of their armfight are divided. What do you think, which side will be victorious?

I’m sure that Devon is not a problem for Denis. I’m expecting 6:0 for Cyplenkov.

This is just a fragment, read the full interview taken by Artur Grigorjan on: Armpower.NET – TERENCE OPPERMAN: “CYPLENKOV IS UNMATCHED BY ANYONE”

Dear Armwrestling World,

I do the rankings for many years just to promote our sport by creating an excitement.. I do not expect anything from it,not money nor honour… I even asked Fabio Nimis to do this but he didnt accept it.. I do my best to be as fair as possible to anyone.. There is no single time that it is possible to make everyone happy.. I try to answer the critiques as detailed as possible.. Once again I don’t have intention to gain anything back by doing the rankings.. None of you are paying me for the rankings so please criticise in a respectful manner as much as possible to not to discourage me.. I am not expecting to be thanked, neither to be disrespected.. THANKS

Sergey Tokarev: “I really want to go back to the system and to fight the guys”

Sergey Tokarev, European and world champion, Merited Master of Sports of Ukraine in arm wrestling, continuing the fall season tournaments armsportu, shared his impressions of his performances at the World Cup and spoke about their students.

IRON WORLD: At the World Cup this year, you’re not on a pedestal, what has caused your such a statement?
Sergey Tokarev: At the moment trying to get rid of injuries plaguing me with the European Championship. If everything works out, then I will certainly fight to “Nemiroff”, I want to return to a system and to fight the guys, but you need as much hands heal.

JM: This year Denis Tsyplenkov will speak on “Nemiroff”, who do you think will be able to resist him?
ST: It depends on who comes. In recent years there has been a trend that all but a couple of people, give him a hand so as not to “clog”. If we assume that everything is possible, then, I think, after Zaruba, for example, with Andrey Pushkar, Lupkesom and reinstated John Brzenk all be drastically changed. After all, it is clear that Dennis with his power actually win only a good poobtrepav.

JM: You’re talking about his students, and who are they? Already there who boast?
ST: At the level of the world and Europe yet, but for the next Cup ride Dmitriy Kharchenko, Vitaly Latyshev, Bogdan Reznichenko and Alexey Vasiliev. I think some of the names are already known to the championship of Ukraine this year and then the championship will become even more famous. Give a little more time, and the result will be.

JM: Wow, a lot of names, I believe, the students – a continuation of you.
ST: In a way, of course, is a continuation of the traditions Alchevsky arm wrestling, and here, too, can not blunder, everything must be treated as a job, and then get the appropriate results. We in the Luhansk region currently open for two Youth armsportu the first time in 10 years took place on the field armsportu Cup, open halls, a new wave, so expect in the near future, new names!

I saw a modified version of the armwrestling couple on facebook, without the watermark, and I started searching for the creator. I finally found him, but it wasn’t easy, because we are living strange times, when people remove the watermarks from the original creation.
