A1 Russian Open 2014 │ Poster



Robert Drenk – northeastboard:
All contracted athletes are allowed to compete in ANY open tournaments (non invitational, non one on one or round robin events) so long as they are wearing an official UAL Jersey or Shirt during the entire event and competition. Any athletes not complying will be in breach of contract. We are opening the rules up but kindly ask that you support the league supporting you. Any questions please feel free to Re-read your contracts or call me directly.
Thanks,
Robert Drenk
_______________________________
Bob,
The shirt is a requirement for a reason, to be honest I’d rather UAL athletes compete in UAL events only but I’m being flexible until our TV series is launched allowing them to compete in outside events only if they stick to the uniform policy in their contracts.
Thanks
_______________________________Jesse,
Because Armwars is an affiliate that will not broadcast in the US! My agreement with Neil is just that.
_______________________________All the more reason it doesn’t work for UAL athletes. No UAL athletes can be filmed by any other production company for any other TV series.

… Legend. Someone associated with the word something ancient written in manuscripts or languishing in a huge tome … One thinks of Ridley Scott with a young Tom Cruise, and who – that Will Smith in the film adaptation of the novel by the magnificent “I Am Legend.” ..
I have also been associated with that word only one. Man of Steel. King armwrestling. Professor.
John Richard Brzenk.
Gone forever Zaur Tskhadadze finest hour. Gone are the other sports Alan Karaev and Alexey Voevoda. And John is still pleases us with fights. It seems he does not age as well as his good-natured smile.
I always wanted to see Brzenk in Russia. To see again after the “Golden Bear.”
And behold, the hour has come! Thanks to the tournament A-1 RUSSIAN OPEN – we’re waiting Brzenk in Moscow!
In the meantime, the Russian Association armsportu decided to make a gift to all fans armrsetlinga. Interview with a Legend!
Hello, John! With great joy all the fans of arm wrestling in Russia learned that you are going to take part in the World armwrestling Grand Prix A1 Russian Open Rusartarhiv 2014! In our press service received a lot of questions for you, from your Russian fans! We chose the most popular, allow you to set them.
How did you decide to come to this tournament?
John Brzenk. Was not easy to miss the A1 last 2 years, but as many of you know, I had a good reason – a serious shoulder injury and subsequent surgery. It took a long time to recover. My form is still not at the level at which we would like, but, unfortunately, the years take their toll. Have to take for granted the fact that the shoulder may never recover one hundred percent. So when I received an offer to participate in the A1, I thought there was a chance that never will be in such form as it is now.
How can you comment on the tournament?
John Brzenk: I do not fully understand how the grid works absolute category in this competition, but I watched in detail the results of previous years, and, judging by the results, it seems to me that the grid is very effective. Get into the top eight teams in the tournament – is in itself a great achievement. Armwrestling level in Russia, as Russia’s capabilities have changed significantly since 1990. Prizes for A1 is the highest in the world. $ 10,000 for each hand in absolyutke – a really serious reward. Also, I think it’s great when athletes with disabilities also have the opportunity to fight for decent money.Should be involved in these athletes and support them not only morally, but also, of course, financial. Arm wrestling – a sport where everyone can show themselves in one category or another, regardless of circumstances.
Who, in your opinion, is the favorite of the absolute weight category A1?
John Brzenk: To get to the top, in armsportu takes time. So, I think that all of those same athletes will fight for the podium. Can not allocate Tsyplenkova Denis, Andrew Pushkar. This year, the arrival of Dave Chafee may bring some changes in the existing status – quo.
What a launch weight you want to put on the tournament?
John Brzenk: Today I weigh 225 pounds (102 kg) with visible overweight. I’m going to exercise more, to at A1 was 10 pounds (4.5 kg) less fat and more muscle mass. I do not think much gone from 225 pounds. Fighting in the category of 100 kg is real to me, if I accept this decision.
How do you assess your physical form today?
John Brzenk: I train very active, but unfortunately, as I said, not getting any younger, and very concerned about the shoulder. I’ll get ready for the competition as I can and hopefully luck will not pass me by the draw. Feel that I can fight for a decent level in its category. Time will tell my chances in the fight absolyutke.
The question that interests most readers – what is the volume of your biceps and forearms?
John Brzenk: The size of my biceps 17.5 inches (44.5 cm), forearm 15.5 inches (39.5 cm)
In Russia, the power of your performance is legendary, it can – then tell our readers about the power performance in any exercise?
John Brzenk: How many of you know, I’m not a big fan of weight to drag. In fact, I almost never did. 30 years of fighting at the table with different sparring partners have developed my strength and endurance. Only recently I started working out with weights to regain shoulder after a major operation. Yes, and just get in shape. However, I’ve never been a fan of weight lifting.
Of that exercise, in addition to fighting, you use in your preparation for competition? There is what that favorite exercise John Brzenk?
John Brzenk: I have no favorite exercises. Lifting heavy loads has always been difficult for me, since I never devoted enough time to this task. After struggling at the table I give my body to recover before the next workout.
Where do you most often trains in the United States?
John Brzenk: I moved to Phoenix, Arizona, in November last year. Started training with the local team in Phoenix. I was glad to see that the city has been prepared and well-organized team. Todd Hutchins also recently moved to Arizona. Every two weeks we meet and train at the table.
What are the main motives for practicing arm wrestling at arm wrestlers from the U.S.? What motivates them to reach the top arm wrestling?
John Brzenk: I think the best side arm wrestling – the development of friendly relations, partnership and mutual assistance in training. Regular joint exercises allow to reach new levels of excellence to all participants. Responsibility that your friends and teammates are waiting for you at the next training session, provides an additional incentive not to go astray.
Tell me, how great eats Brzenk?
John Brzenk: I’m on a diet. Always I’m eating what I want, when hunger makes itself felt. I used to monitor the consumption of protein, especially when chasing weight. But for several years do not do it.
Tell me with whom you would like to spend a duel by the “armfayt”? There is such an athlete? If there is – why is it with him?
John Brzenk: I need to better heal his shoulder and if it happens, I’d like to call to fight Michael Todd. He proved to be a tough nut to crack. I would like to show that there is life in the old dog yet, and defeat him.
And what bout you remember the most for your career? What is considered the most significant victory, defeat, and what is most offensive to you?
John Brzenk: One of the most memorable fights for me was when I defeated Denis Tsyplenkova. I must admit I did not expect this, but I had the support of friends, which allowed not to lose faith in themselves. Thanks Neil Pickup (Neil Pickup). Most humiliating defeat for me are those when I allowed myself to fight injured.
Personal question from our constant readers. What pets do you like?
John Brzenk: In our family, we love dogs. It is indifferent to cats. We live one beagle (breed of English hounds) and one dachshund.
In Russia you are loved and very welcome. What can you say to your fans?
John Brzenk: When I visited the tournament “Golden Bear” in 1990, I received a warm welcome and good support from the Russians. Every once in Russia, I was very comfortable and relaxed. Thank you for this!

John R Brzenk ► Armwrestling John – Engin:
The reality for both MT and Devon competing in an open event is the fact that a lot of their matches take a lot of time to win.
This doesn’t increase your chances for following rounds against people that may be fresh.
I think they both recognize this possibility … Not sure why no one else does
i also think Dwvon is still in the rebuilding phase after surgery … Trust me when I say this takes a very long time and there is a possibility that he will never be the guy everyone remembers !
You can add … John Brzenk and Todd Hutchings to this A 1 list !
See you in Moscow !!!!
John R Brzenk ► Armwrestling John – Engin:
In certain areas Yes Todd is as strong if not stronger than I am.
He is a very dangerous puller that in my opinion can pull power to power with anyone in the world right now.

Just got an offer to pull in Moscow, Russia at the A1 tournament this July! Seems like a deal that is too hard to pass up. Denis Cyplenkov , you better step up your game

” Today we talk to a Master of Sports of Russia armsportu, vice president of PAA, organizer, promoter and principal patron armsportu in Russia – Nikolay Mishta.
Good afternoon, Nick!Now it is no secret that business competition armsportu brings no profit to the organizers, but on the contrary, requires huge investments, especially when it comes to such a grand event as «World armwrestling Grand Prix A1 Russian Open Rusartarhiv».Tell me how you came to the decision to organize and sponsor this event?Because, unfortunately, patronage in our country now – a rarity!And every year you pleasantly surprise all fans of arm wrestling!
Greetings! It’s simple – I’m a fan of arm wrestling and always dreamed that this wonderful sport actively developed, but someday (preferably in the next 10 – 15 years) became an Olympic sport. Actually, as soon as I grew as a professional, as a lawyer, and was earning enough money, and immediately proceeded to sponsorship. As for exactly A1 as the tournament – here, too, all TT solved. Met with President Alexander Filimonov PAA, Vice President Andrei Petrov and the head coach Arthur Aghajanian, we all discussed and decided on the format of the competition, in the past two years.
The question that bothers many athletes – whether this year on a selection of A1?In past tournaments Russian athletes could act only if the title “Master of Sports of Russia”, as will be the case at this year’s business for them, and for visitors from other states?
Good question. Indeed, it happens that the athlete de facto very serious level, but de jure title has, say, the CCM. It’s simple – who wants to participate in the tournament, let him write in a request PAA (indicating their results in competitions armsportu) and we’ll review it. As for the individual tournament or series of tournaments for “tolerance” to the A1, then today as a permanent system is unlikely. Well, athletes from other countries may be entered without restrictions.In the announcement of the tournament does not say anything about women’s categories, they will not be this year?
And this is our “sick” issue. After the first A1 TV broadcasters to cooperate with us, immediately drew attention to nezrelischnoy female categories in connection with indecent small number of participants. And for us “picture” on the channel – this is one of the most important components of development arm wrestling as sports in general. Without popularity on TV armsportu nothing shines. So we asked the athletes themselves, “organize” and the next tournament to rectify the situation. However, it turned out worse – the girls did not even have enough to take the podium. Had, as you remember, do “absolyutku.” Under these conditions, prospects for women’s categories seems very little. That stated thirty people, even on absolyutku – consider. May extend the number of prizes that people are not afraid of leaders. In general, all in the hands of athletes.Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the athletes from the hearth, added category athletes visually impaired and hard of hearing.As competition regulations will be built?First selection disabled athletes, or they will fight along with categories male athletes?
Support for disabled athletes – one of the most important tasks of A1. Arm wrestlers disabled – most real “warriors” and they should be entitled to earn for their hard-earned cash. In the future, the trend will continue. Popularization of disabled armsportu also key to the development of our sport in general, as the road to the Olympic family is through the Paralympic Games. That’s where we just have to get in the coming years. World Championship for the disabled, which will be held by us recently established International Federation armsportu for persons with disabilities (IAFD – International Armsport Federation for Disabled) show the world the seriousness of our intentions.
As for the rules, everything will depend on the number of participants.After the Russian Championship in 2014 was found 11 positive doping tests in athletes.This topic is now of concern to everyone, someone was speaking “for” conducting doping control someone “against.”And how do you see this problem?
I look at this problem is very simple: if we want to enter into the Olympic family, the doping control must be far. And our position will be strengthened, until we reach the standards of Olympic sports.Now one can often hear the opinion that for professional tournaments, too, need a drug test.After all, almost all professional sports it is present.You’re not going to enter this procedure on the A1?
Excluded. Task A1 – promotion arm wrestling. Spend a significant finance doping controls within professional commercial tournament today is simply unreasonable. We are best spent on promotion, to reward athletes, etc.Currently «World armwrestling Grand Prix A1 Russian Open Rusartarhiv» is the big-arm wrestling tournament in the world, with huge prize pools.But visitors from other states, and even more so from the ocean comes not so much.What do you think, why?Maybe – afraid of competition?
Can not be, and exactly. This was told to me directly, many foreign experts, judges, and the athletes themselves. Stars “worthless” to come to the tournament and, for example, generally hard to get into the top eight. Scale labor, the participants – all on the transcendent level that only the strongest can really expect a positive result on the A1. An example of this – part of one of the strongest athletes on the planet Krasimir Kostadinov. On the left hand, he did not even hit the top eight, and on the right took eighth place. But this is a world champion to 100 kg, the most powerful category! This year, he promised to improve your score on the order, we will wait.What information support this year will be in the tournament?
It remains an open question. Goal number “one” – is to get the federal channel. We will do everything to achieve this.How would you like to see your child in 5, 10 years?
My motto voiced Bonaparte – “Put impossible goals and reach possible.” In the long run, I see the main A1 Armwrestling competition after the Olympic Games. ”Source: armsport-rus.ru │ Google Translate
