In the last article from armsport-inva.com it was written that the European Armwrestling Championships for Disabled Persons will take place in Poland, 09-16 June 2014.
In this new article from IronWorld.ru we learn that the European Armwrestling Championships for Disabled Persons will be held at the Gniew Castle, Poland – where last year was held the 13th POLISH CUP 2012, Gniew Castle – 15-16 December 2012.
Because the number of disabled competitors is usually small, this year the European Armwrestling Championships for Disabled will be open to receive disabled competitors from Asia, Africa and America.
Alexander Filimonov of the new federation in arm wrestling among disabled – IAFD
It is known that in the next year, European and World Championships in arm wrestling among the disabled athletes will carry the new federation – IAFD ( http://www.armsport-inva.com/ ). We decided to find out details of the president IAFD Alexander Filimonov.
IRON WORLD: European Championship will be held in Poland? Alexander Filimonov: Yes! For us, a very important quality start of the new format of the competition for the disabled. And that quality is guaranteed professional team of Igor Mazurenko. Championship will be held in the castle itself, which already held the championship Polish armsportu. We will do everything possible to maintain the level of organization of the event, which we all saw at the World Cup this year.Will be organized Broadcast on TV and online. The stage, sound, lights – all will meet the highest quality standards. And all of this money will be focused only on athletes with disabilities.
JM: It is known that the category of disabled athletes smaller ones.How do you plan to deal with it? AF: This problem does exist. We have identified several areas of its solutions. First, the European Championship in Poland will open. It will be open to arm wrestlers from Asia, Africa and America. Second, we plan to abolish the quota of two people from the same country in the category. Do not forget that the championship will be attended not only athletes with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, but also with visual and hearing impairment. Of course, they will fight alone.
An important point – just weight categories. Now they are not. Too much difference between them – 15 lbs!
The women – on the contrary. A lot of categories, but almost all empty. In junior same situation.
We plan to Congress IAFD in Moscow to discuss and perhaps adopt new weight classes for all groups of disabled athletes. However, on the European and world championships in 2014 will remain the same weight class. So we agreed on the Directorate WAF.
JM: What categories do you think would be optimal? AF: I do not propose to invent a bicycle and we take the weight categories NEMIROFF World Cup and adjust them a little bit.
For example, for adults with visual and hearing impairment, weight categories might look like this:
Men (fighting the right, left hand): 63 kg, 70 kg, 78 kg, 86 kg, 95 kg, +95 kg.
Women (fight right, left hand): 52 kg, 65 kg, +65 kg.
Juniors (16-18 years old, the fight on the right, the left hand): 63 kg, 70 kg, 78 kg, 86 kg, +86 kg.
Juniors (16-18 years old, the fight on the right, the left hand): 52 kg, 65 kg, +65 kg.
For persons with disabilities served (separately for wheelchairs and those who fight standing) – Class ARM1 (athletes, moving constantly in a wheelchair and competing seated):
Men (fighting the right, left hand): 70 kg, 78 kg, 86 kg, +86 kg.
Women (fight right, left hand): 65 kg, +65 kg.
Juniors (16-18 years old, the fight on the right, the left hand): 70 kg, 78 kg, +78 kg.
Juniors (16-18 years old, the fight on the right, the left hand): 52 kg, +52 kg.
Class ARM2 – Athletes competing Standing
Men (fighting the right, left hand): 70 kg, 78 kg, 86 kg, +86 kg.
Women (fight right, left hand): 65 kg, +65 kg.
Juniors (16-18 years old, the fight on the right, the left hand): 70 kg, 78 kg, +78 kg.
Juniors (16-18 years old, the fight on the right, the left hand): 52 kg, +52 kg.
Invite all interested parties to discuss this very important topic!
We will look at all the options suggested categories at the meeting team officials at the European Championships in Poland. We choose the best solution and will submit it for discussion at the congress in Moscow.
JM: At the European Championships and the 2014 World already is a division of disabled athletes from Submitted to those who will fight sitting in wheelchairs as well as those who will fight for the ordinary table stand? AF: Yes, of course! And the key word here – in wheelchairs. Everyone who enters the classification of sedentary desk, will compete in wheelchairs organizers. The chairs of struggle will never happen again .
” AMC announced that it has greenlit a new unscripted series, King of Arms, a look inside the raw and highly competitive world of American arm wrestling. The series hails from Matt Renner and Ethan Prochnik, Emmy Award-winning producers of Deadliest Catch, and Dan Ilani, a partner in Undertow Films, their recently-formed company. King of Arms will follow the members of five arm wrestling clubs, and their friends and families, as they hit the road and wager their rent money, reputations and even their relationships in pursuit of victory. The 10-episode, one-hour series will premiere in the first quarter of next year, timed to the second half of the fourth season of The Walking Dead.
The network also announced that it was renewing its unique and acclaimed series Small Town Security for a third season. Small Town Security will air with the previously announced second season of Freakshow in the second quarter of 2014.
“King of Arms, Small Town Security and Freakshow all take viewers inside worlds most have never seen, populated by unique and unforgettable characters,” said Joel Stillerman, EVP Original Programming, Production and Digital Content. “We are looking forward to bringing these new and returning series to AMC viewers and are very excited to be working with Undertow Films on our new unscripted original, King of Arms.”
King of Arms focuses on arm wrestling clubs across America, embedding with teams in Baton Rouge, New York City, Erie, Sacramento and Kansas City. Each episode culminates with high-stakes mano-a-mano combat where brute strength is often defeated by technique, strategy and heart.
Matt Renner, Ethan Prochnik and Dan Ilani from Undertow Films will serve as Executive Producers of King of Arms. The project will be overseen by Eliot Goldberg, AMC’s new SVP of Unscripted Programming and Ari Mark, the company’s Director of Unscripted Programming.
Small Town Security is the sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant, and just plain unusual series that explores a small, family-run security and private investigation company in Ringgold, Georgia called JJK Security. Executive Produced by Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver of Left/Right Films (This American Life, Mob Wives), the show captures the day-to-day of the business, but it’s really about the curiously entertaining and oddly compelling characters that inhabit this world. ”

Allison Renoos Hutchings (02 October 2013): ” Having taught John all he’s capable of learning, the time has come for Toddzilla to prepare for the UAL belt wars. Toddzilla and family are relocating from Utah to the High Desert Armwrestling Compound in Arizona to perfect the Toddroll. Last UT practice will be Tuesday, October 8; all are welcome. “
Allison Renoos Hutchings (04 October 2013): ” I came across reviews about Kingman, AZ., the town we’re moving to.
I know some meant their comments as warnings, but this sounds like my kind of town:
-People wear guns on their hips!
-…people do wear guns on there (sic) hips…it’s the west.
-overall population is…stubborn.
-If you’re looking for culture, forget it.
-Like stepping into the Twilight Zone. 1960?
-…a simple town..
-…majestic sunsets and sunrises… night skies full of bright stars (with zero light pollution)… hiking and camping.
-…set up against a range of mountains, the Cerbats and Hualapais…
-Granted, it is slow-paced. “
Allison Renoos Hutchings (04 October 2013): ” Beth Gove Hanson- Todd accepted a job in AZ. There are mountain ranges, it’s on the edge of the Mojave Desert, and there’s Lake Mead and the Colorado River nearby and easy driving distance to the Grand Canyon. Its elevation means that it’s cooler than you’d expect and it can even snow there! “
Allison Renoos Hutchings (05 October 2013): ” Linda Stangland- it’s all happened very fast! 6 weeks ago Todd was laid off (along with 900 others at the company that day). He was offered a job in AZ last week and he starts next week! We are so grateful for employment in this economy and thrilled to find it in what sounds like a place that we’ll enjoy. “
Allison Renoos Hutchings (05 October 2013): ” Laura Loviska- Thanks! Todd will be designing and rebuilding GIANT machines. It’s a machine shop that rebuilds oil rigs for instance and is part of building the world’s largest Ferris Wheel. It has a milling machine that you can put a railroad car on. It has the biggest tools to build the largest things. Todd is absolutely going to love it. “
The Hutchings family – Todd Hutchings, Allison Renoos Hutchings and their son, will move from Bountiful, Utah, USA to Kingman, Arizona, USA: View Larger Map
Sergey Tokarev is the current European Armwrestling Champion – both hands, because Genadi Kvikvinia was on this list: EuroArm 2013 – DOPING CONTROL RESULTS. We are waiting for the official EAF confirmation, but to my knowledge all the athletes from that list were confirmed.
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!
