A rumor says that the Georgian Nikoloz Matiashvili ( Niklas Matiashvili / Nicklas Matiashvili ) went home to Georgia from The United Kingdom, where he lived in the past years. The rumor says that in Georgia Matiashvili already won his weight category at the nationals and also the overall class (UPDATE: Vasili Dautashvili won the overalls, thanks to George Chochia for the info).
Although Matiashvili in the last years could not go to the worlds / europeans championships, he kept on training and now he is in a very good shape. This year Matiashvili will go to the 34th World Armwrestling Championships 2012 in São Vicente, São Paulo, Brazil. There he will enter the same weight category as Khadzimurat Zoloev, hoping that he will won the world title.
In this quest for the world title Matiashvili will be helped by his sponsor, Killy.
For those who are not familiar with Matiashvili, please check the info below and the videos.

And in more recent times, Matiashvili dominated the 90kg category (although he was below 85kg) at B.A.F. “Enter The Lions Den” New Year Cup 2012 on February 25, 2012 (organized by Neil Pickup):

Please keep in mind that the strong guy who reached the finals with Matiashvili is the romanian Stefan Tamas, he weighs less than 90kg but he is one of the best romanian armwrestlers overall. Last year at the romanian nationals, although he had less than 90kg, Stefan Tamas entered the 100kg category in order to meet the legendary Ion Oncescu. Stefan Tamas almost won that match:

Ioan “The Bear” Puscasu: In maximum 2 weeks I will close it, without any problems.
________________________________________
Update:
Randall Strossen – ironmind-forum.com : Well, yes, it was Ioan Cristian Puscasu and unfortunately he missed the close by what his referee, Paul Pirjol, estimated to be 2 mm:
“Just got back from Ioan’s No. 4 gripper attempt and I’m sorry but I want to tell you that he missed it! He closed the gripper but still had 2millimeters until touch it, he was close but not enough! after that he did like 7 reps with the 3.5 CoC just for the tv.”
Good effort and we’re sure it’s only a matter of time before Ioan Cristian Puscasu can consistently hit the full stroke.
Many thanks to Paul Pirjol for all his help as the referee for this attempt!
________________________________________
Update 2:
Randall Strossen – ironmind-forum.com : I am pretty cross-eyed from reviewing a Rolling Thunder lift over and over again, so didn’t have the stamina to do the same thing here, but in the end, IronMind tells people, “This isn’t dancing, horseshoes or hand grenades—close doesn’t count . . . the handles have to touch.”
Frankly, the thing about bouncing back in two weeks max sounds nice, but let’s remember something: IronMind and the referee (Paul Pirjol) got jerked around on this attempt—playing patty cake and chasing down Ioan who was not replying to either our emails or emails/calls from the referee, but he had no problem making sure this was on TV.
Don’t get me wrong: I met Ioan a couple of years ago and he’s a super nice guy, but let’s have a little respect for the CoC certification process, please—understand that other people are shelling out their time and money to give you a chance to prove your strength so have the courtesy to read, understand and follow the procedures . . . which includes being ready to demolish the gripper on your official attempt.

Josh –
I don’t want to ruin our relationship, but I agree.
This is kind of close, but at the same time, only getting up to the tough spot but not past it.
I’d guess that there are maybe at least two guys in the world right now who might well be in roughly that range—maybe a little better and maybe a little worse.

Some rough translation:
Ioan “The Bear” Puscasu: I have succeeded doing 55 repetitions with CoC No. 3.5 Gripper
Ioan “The Bear” Puscasu: No one from America or Russia succeeded in closing the CoC No. 4 Gripper with the new tougher spring, I hope to be the first one who closes it .
