This is just a fragment, read the full interview on: spainarmwrestler.blogspot.com.es
1 What time do you train arm wrestling and how did you get so interested in this?
I train two to three days a week, about 4 hours. My hobby is due to my father. From when I was small, I have been interested in the sport of arm wrestling, my father found it funny that so small I arm wrestled his friends and won . One day I met Miguel Angel Duran. Then I started this sport with more vigor and I would like to thank Miguel today.
2 Who is the Armwrestler that you most admire and why?
In Spain without doubt it is my great friend and mentor “Quinito” Joaquín Garrido Laso. And it would be John Brzenk internationally.
3 What plans do you have within your future life and what are your aspirations for this sport?
To ensure that this sport, will be recognized as such…as a sport. AND as an Olympic recognized sport too.
And also, to possibly renew in some way the titles from arm wrestling… this would not be a bad thing4 What other sports do you practice?
Currently I only train as a bodybuilder and practice Armwrestling . Before I did a little bit of everything, boxing more than anything but is a very complete sport,…
5 What advice do you have for young people and children that want to start?
I would say that they have the get up and go to do the sport, that there are no secrets, you win more the better trained you are. Everything will happen, every effort will be rewarded. As they say: Respect everybody and do not be afraid of anyone.
6 In addition to this sport discipline, what plans you have for your future?
…….7 What do you think is the best technique within arm wrestling?
I don’t think that any technique is better than another but the best mode is its use. I remember that I have always been told, you can never win a world only by pulling from the inside.
8 What has been your biggest disappointment in the sport?
We do not have the same coverage in the media as other sports. There is currently no aid for promoters, city councils, etc…

On January 27, live on Sport.ro television was held the much anticipated final of the competition. After the qualifying round these armwrestlers entered the final: Sabin Badulescu, Viorel Dobrin, Alin Sandu, Constantin Mihai. Olimpiu Fat (who was one of the 4 automatically qualified armwrestlers) could not come because of an injury, therefore Daniel Barbu entered the finals the (ranked 5th in the qualifying round). The competition was league (round-robin) tournament with both left and right arms.
It started with the left arm, where, after 26 matches, the first 5 were very close, the difference between the 1st and the 5th place was only 14 points. Danut Borbil came first, amassing 110 points, the favorite to win the title.
Unfortunately Danut injured his right arm in a direct match with Sabin Badulescu. Being the first match of the right arm, he could not continue at full capacity, finally placing at #5.
Andrei “The Bullet” Chipreanov was the most consistently winning second place on both arms and overall. An important moment was when Andrei inadvertently lost by two fouls, a confrontation that seemed easy.
Viorel Dobrin, the lightest of athletes, only 75 kg, is a force of nature, getting the same score as Stefan Tamas, 200 points. The tie in the overall ranking was made by an additional match between them, match won by Stefan.
Surprise did Sabin Badulescu made a surprise, he hasn’t lost a match with his right arm, and he was the overall winner.
The refereeing was provided by Victor Barbu, Mircea Simionescu-Simicel, Eduard Dimiean and Daniel Petre.
