Denis Cyplenkov vs. Vitaly Laletin sparring

2 VIDEOS: Denis Cyplenkov vs. Vitaly Laletin, Armwrestling Training / Sparring

Denis Cyplenkov vs. Vitaly Laletin sparring
Denis Cyplenkov vs. Vitaly Laletin sparring

UPDATE: THE RIGHT ARM MATCH SPARRING VIDEO IS FAKE… IT’S JUST A MIRROR OF THE LEFT ARM SPARRING MATCH UPLOADED ON YOUTUBE ONE DAY BEFORE.

SO THE REAL SPARRING MATCH WAS JUST ON THE LEFT HAND AND SOMEONE MIRRORED IT AND MADE IT LOOK LIKE IT WAS ON THE RIGHT HAND.

I NOW POSTED THE ORIGINAL VIDEO FIRST – ON THE LEFT HAND, AND BELOW YOU CAN WATCH THE FAKE MIRRORED VIDEO ON RIGHT ARM

This is just some armwrestling training / sparring and we don’t know much about when and how it took place… But I think it just shows   is a good replacement for Denis Cyplenkov in Top 8 Vendetta 2019, like Denis also said in his interview from the hospital…

Also please keep in mind that when Vitaly Laletin won the Heavyweight class and the Open at LOTOSHINO 2019 his weight was 119.9 kg (264 lb), Laletin never was this heavy. See ► RESULTS: LOTOSHINO 2019, VIDEOS

Balázs Mergl banned

Balázs Mergl: Lifetime ban for choosing URPA

Balázs Mergl banned
Balázs Mergl banned

XSportNews.com: Hi Mergl, XSportNews heard that you received a ban, please tell us your story. Why do you think this happened ? What did you do to deserve this ban ?

Balázs Mergl: Hi. Yes it’s true I got a prohibition from the Hungarian Federation. My story started in 2018 with the Zloty Tur, because all competitors were automatically on the URPA list after that. Then I activated my profile and was preparing for my next competition in Slovakia (Senec Hand).

Few weeks ago we got new information, Facebook was full of rumors and some open mails and finally the last mail said: anybody (not just referees) who has any contact with URPA system will be banned from WAF tournaments.

Who contacted you to tell you this ?

I think because of this last letter I got a call from a Hungarian Federation President. He asked me to decide which side I support, PAL and URPA rating-system or WAF. You should know, that although I was a national champion in 2018 in Hungary I had to pay by myself all my expenses to go to worlds and represent my country. I would have to do the same this year.
After this conversation I knew what consequences will be for me If I choose URPA. One day later I wrote an e-mail that I don’t like choosing any sides at all and would like to compete in both WAF and PAL events, but I really want to try URPA and take part in PAL events. It was a “wrong answer” Then I got an e-mail telling that I am banned from all WAF competitions, so of course also from Hungarian ones.

Did you receive an official letter from the Hungarian Armwrestling Federation about this ban ?

I didn’t get any official letter with signatures or stamps, but if I come now to Hungarian National Cup the Hungarian Federation will not allow me to compete.

How do you feel about this ban ?

It’s quite complicated, but first of all I have to tell that I have no sad or angry feelings because of that situation. I know that rules can change quickly. I made a decision, and now I’ll deal with the consequences. I think in this self-financing sport I have the right to choose competitions by myself. I’m a university student, not a professional competitor. Spend my money, my free time and make sacrifices to become better and better by taking part in international events.
In this situation, nobody has the right to prohibit me to choose the competitions.
Sure I’m disappointed also because I would like competing at Euroarms or Words but I can live without them less damage to the budget.

What are your next plans in armwrestling ? What are the next tournaments you plan to compete in ?

My plan after this…. maybe I ll train together with Vitaly this weekend. But seriously the plan is the preparation and training to the Senec hand. Keep strong and good luck to everybody.

WAF Executive Board Decision: PAL / URPA Events Ban │ Image Source: Indian Arm Wrestling Federation

I can’t say I’m surprised about this WAF Executive Board decision, we all knew this was coming considering what happened in the last weeks… But I have to say I’m surprised to see that the Indian Arm Wrestling Federation is actually supporting it:

Indian Arm Wrestling Federation – facebook: ” Indian Armwrestling Federation Support World Armwrestling Federation Decision of Banning PAL
timely decision taken by WAF to save game of Armwrestling from people who don’t have respect for any WAF affiliated Countries or it’s rules and for the game of Armwrestling “

This is very interesting, considering that an URPA / PAL Event will take place in India soon:

PAL – Professional Armwrestling League – facebook:
