” News from Denis Tsyplenkova: “I want to apologize to my fans”

On the eve of the most prestigious tournament of the year and the expected – A1 Russian Open rumors began to circulate that the performance of the main favorite and constant winner of this tournament a big question. In the web the topic discussed by many athletes, fans and the world was divided into two parts. Some say that Dennis will speak, the second – no. We are already confused. Once Denis Tsyplenkov said that perhaps he will not be there to fight. But there were many people who did not understand a specific answer. In order not to tire yourself waiting for the start of the competition to make sure in fact, we talked to Dennis. What he said to us, see below.

Iron World: Denis, hello. How are you doing, how are training?
Denis Tsyplenkov:
Hi. Basically, in any way, I am doing physical exercise 2-3 times a week. Suffer nonsense, you might say.

J. M .: On the Internet a lot of videos where you lift on the biceps of 150 kg, thereby beat all records in this exercise. Why is that, do you prepare for the A1?
D. C .:
That’s nothing to do at least beat records. He began preparing for the A1, but it so happened that a month training ended. To somehow to console myself, I decided to beat their own records. Yes, and he tried his hand simply picked up the biceps.

J. M .: That is to participate in the A1 you will not be one hundred percent?
D. C .:
And what about the A1 do not even know what to say. In general, there is no fault of mine. Let the organizers themselves comment on the situation.

J. M .: Of course, a pity that we will not see the table of this tournament. But what are your plans now, if you miss the A1?
D. C .:
I do not want to escalate the situation. I want to apologize to my fans. Let no one think that I’m afraid that’s just happened.

J. M .: Maybe, if there are some other tournaments, in which you could go? Or we will not see Dennis Tsyplenkova the competition this year?
D. C .:
I have nowhere I plan to speak this year. To be honest, I’m a little disappointed, we will wait for better times, and is a shovel in his teeth – and work. I work a lot. Now we open a fitness club, called it “100 pudov”, will train new champions.

It seems that the answer is obvious. And the most likely speaker Dennis Tsyplenkova we see this year. As Denis said, we will wait for better times. Meanwhile, we will try to contact the organizers for details learn how you prepare for such a grand event, as the international arm wrestling tournament A1 Russian Open.

” A1 Russian Open 2015. Nikolai Mishta answer the most interesting questions

A1 Russian Open 2015. Nikolai Mishta answer the most interesting questions From 22 to 26 July in Russia will be one of the biggest tournaments in the world arm wrestling – A1 Russian Open 2015. This is the fourth in a row A1, which is held annually, starting its launch in 2012. Among the participants were regularly the strongest arm wrestlers of the planet. Over the past two years, this is the only tournament in which competitors were going at the same time from different continents, such as Europe, America, Africa, Asia. For example, last year in the Open category are fighting tops of world armwrestling as Denis chicken, Dave Chaffey, Andrew Pushkar, John Brzenk. Surely we can say that last year the tournament was a success. Regarding 2015, all ambiguous. Recently, we learned Tsyplenkov that Dennis will not participate in the tournament . There were many questions that we would like to see the answers. Who else but the competition organizers will be able to help us figure out how to pass in this year’s most anticipated tournament in 2015. Nikolai Mishta – on the shoulders of the man holding the A1. Nikolai is organizing and funding the competition A1 Russian Open. Who, if not him, we can ask the most of our questions.

IRON WORLD: Nick, good afternoon. Say a few words about how you prepare for the tournament. Do all goes according to plan, it turns out you realize the planned ideas?
Nikolai Mishta: Greetings. Preparation – as planned. Not every idea possible to realize, but those that succeed, enough to athletes and spectators felt that the tournament develops.

J. M .: What’s new for the audience and the participants have prepared the organizers of the tournament?
N. M .: Newbies bit. Again, we try to give a chance to women arm wrestling: absolyutka be modeled on men, but only on the right hand. The composition is good, practically all the strongest will participate. Further, the disabled prizes now up to fifth place, inclusive, which obviously will increase the excitement of the participants. And most importantly – the broadcast. See the tournament and will be able to on the Internet and on television. Free of charge, of course. In addition, all shooting almost immediately posted on the Web.

J. M .: How many people are involved in the organization of the tournament? How difficult is the process of organization, because the tournament will take place not in the usual place for him?
N. M .: People involved a little bit – a total of ten people, do everything ourselves. So reliable. As to the place, that is, Vladikavkaz, here we were lucky. All is solved quickly. I can safely call profile ministers and discuss any issue immediately. Try to do the same in Moscow – this is completely unrealistic.

J. M .: What can you say about the panel of judges, who will be a part of what will be the judges and judging on the A1? It will be strict to the details and trivia refereeing or athletes will fight ignoring insignificant mikrootryvy and congresses elbows, but everything will be fair?
N. M .: The referee A1 in 2015 – Alexei Pavlov. Basically, he and more powers, it helps everything. Refereeing is always on the A1, is the motto to fight. If mikrootryvy fouls and the like do not affect the outcome of the fight, the fight goes to the net win. But at the discretion of the judge. We will also try to get the judge had the opportunity to watch the match for taking videopovtor absolutely the right decision.

J. M .: You’re nothing at all before the tournament starts, tell, is known whether the participants? If so, how much it has changed in comparison with last year?
N. M .: The composition will be very interesting. First, people will be much more: a single Caucasus come all who can. Still to go to Moscow to pay airfare, accommodation could not everyone. Here only two hundred people come on foot. So, too, will be a lot of foreigners. In general, with the exception of just two or three people will be stronger.

J. M .: Perhaps a tricky question, but it could answer, with associated rumors that Denis Tsyplenkov may not take part in the A1? Or is it just a rumor, and Denis absolyutke traditionally perform in this tournament?
N. M .: I understand that Dennis did not really able to participate. I think two reasons: first, I have to force the crisis not fully carried out in front of him the financial obligations, which is why it is generally fairly indignant; secondly, it is not enough to fit. In the spring there was a serious knee injury, then the mass of operational issues, and so well. D.

J. M .: Are there also is not covered financial obligations to athletes?
N. M .: Yes, even before Andrey Pushkar and Eugene Prudnikov. But they go on preparing the full. Andrew fundamentally wants to repeat last year’s success, even missed the European Championships, in general, is gaining! Eugene is also not far behind.

J. M .: There remains the question about the participation of American athletes. Do you have data from overseas athletes who will arrive in Russia to compete against our athletes?
N. M .: The Americans will be the same as last year: John Brzenk, Toddzilla, Bob Brown and Dave Chaffee. Moreover, Chaffee in the year I wrote that zealously preparing specifically for the A1. He’s a real favorite on the right. Unfortunately, I had to abandon Larratt. He has a week armfayt, it was impossible to move. So he honestly told me he did not want “to serve the number” to come and just earn. It is better to prepare for the 2016 A1 properly. So it agreed with him next year.

INTERVIEW: John Brzenk on Arm Wrestling Nation Radio, 22 June 2015

I wrote about some key topics, but you should really listen to the great radio show posted below. You can also download it using the link I posted below the blogtalkradio audio player.
In the beginning of the show , Alper Cosar and talk about about , .
16:23 Talk about armwrestling training / training methods compared to “ToddZilla” , nutrition / diet before an armwrestling competition.
30:07 Talk about steroids use and abuse, doping, drug testing. John said he didn’t know anything about steroids until his early 40’s. After that, he has been prescribed some drug by his doctor. He never felt the need to look into doping, and always gave a laugh when people said: you can’t be competitive as armwrestler unless you are juiced up and taking steroids. He had a laugh because he did it (being competitive without taking steroids) for 25 years, he knows it can be done, it is not a necessity to be a good armwrestler.
32:50 Alper Cosar asked John if he sees a correlation between the domination of the Eastern European armwrestlers (of the lower weight classes) and steroid abuse. John replied he believes there are more people interested in armwrestling in Europe right now than are interested in the sport in USA. Most of the good armwrestlers in USA are still the old timers. It is a new sport in Russia, where it was introduced just 20 years ago. John refuses to believe that they have a magic pill.
34:15 Craig Soubliere asked John if he will compete in Nemiroff 2015 / Zloty Tur 2015 this year. John replied that he has no plans to participate in anything associated with PAL. That is because PAL was appalling when John decided to sign with UAL, although John tried very hard to work with both sides UAL / PAL, and make them understand he can do both.
35:21 Craig asked if he will go to . John confirmed that he will go to A1 this year because he had a great time last year. As long as John doesn’t hurt himself at WAL, he is looking forward to at least have a better match with one of the top guys at A1. He feels really good right handed, his shoulder is getting a little better than last year. John said he is looking forward to see a match between and , because they both have very good hand control and they are very strong.
51:35 Alper asked John if he wants a rematch with and . John said he expects to be across the table with Devon in about 2 weeks (at WAL on JULY 4TH 2015 – LAS VEGAS, NEVADA) and he is excited about that. Alexey might be passed his abilities, but he might surprise him because he is a much better armwrestler than he was in 2004 during the making of Pulling John.
John also talks about how he started armwrestling, his brother Bill Brzenk, other hobbies and many other topics, enjoy the show:

John Brzenk on Arm Wrestling Nation Radio (AWNR) │ Capture by XSportNews from AWNR

Brzenk, Chaffee, ToddZilla but no Cyplenkov at A1 Russian Open 2015 ?

Two weeks ago, when it was posted VIDEOS: Denis Cyplenkov 2 x 150 kg, Denis Cyplenkov was asked in the comments section why it is written 2 instead of 3 reps and if he will go to A1 Russian Open 2015.

Denis Cyplenkov’s answer: ” Первый не зафиксировал!) тренер не засчитал!) А1 в этом году пропускаю! Это не моя вина! Пусть это останется на совести некоторых товарищей! ”

Google Translate: ” The first did not record!), The coach did not count!) A1 this year miss! It’s not my fault! Let it remain on the conscience of some comrades! “
Let’s hope Cyplenkov will change his mind. From what I remember, at a previous edition he also said he will not go, but in the end someone managed to change his mind. 🙂
And now the good news, Bob Brown announced this yesterday on facebook:
Bob Brown – facebook: ” Looks like we are all going back to A1 this year. “

Vladikavkaz is just 760 km (by car) away from Sochi (Alexey Voevoda’s hometown), and considering the huge size of Russia, is like they are neighbor cities 🙂 (View the MAP below):

It is located in the southeast of the republic at the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains, situated on the Terek River.

All armwrestlers know , he is many times European and World Champion.
In 2013 he was on the EuroArm 2013 – DOPING CONTROL RESULTS list, therefore he received 2 years disqualification, see DOPING SANCTIONS FOR POSITIVE CASES │ EUROARM 2013. This year in June 2015 his disqualification period will end.
In this new interview taken by  for IronWorld.ru, Arsen talks about  which this year will take place in ‘s hometown Vladikavkaz, and this will give him a a great responsibility, because there he is the champion, and his fans expect a lot from him. See also ► A1 Russian Open 2015 will take place in Vladikavkaz, North Ossetia–Alania, Russia, MAP
Arsen also said that he resumed the armwrestling training only 2 weeks ago, because in the last 2 years he only focused on business and making money, he didn’t train for armwrestling.

” Arsen Liliev: “You must be strong enough to not think about how to fight your opponent”

Arsene Liliev – multiple champion of Russia, Europe and the World armsportu absolute winner for armsportu A1. For two years the athlete was disqualified, and this year in June, ends up being punished. Interest in Arsene did not cease all this time, we were interested in an athlete on its activities a year ago (http://ironworld.ru/articles/11771/). In connection with the termination of punishment “Iron World” interviewed Arsene where the athlete shared my thoughts on returning to Arm wrestling, spoke about how he sees the situation armsport development at the moment. Get honest, frank interview. As always, Arsene is not afraid to speak their minds!

IRON WORLD: Arsene, tell me whether you are doing it all the time armsportu, trained you?
Arsen Liliev:
By armsportu two years spent five workouts. All the while engaged in business, I realize myself in a completely different field, not in the sport. I maximalist in life! Therefore, if something is done, is done with maximum quality, I try to achieve the best result. Devote all his time to the cause. Time for training did not exist. In short, make money.

J. M .: Does this mean that you do not come back in the arm sport?
AL .:
Training resumed two weeks ago. In principle, two years without training form I still quite good. Managed to keep the basic weight below a certain minimum fell. The final decision on the resumption of sports career did not take. Again, not enough time to exercise, and if returned, then returned the same Liliev.

J. M .: If you are still “sozreesh” return, accept the participation in the tournament A1, which will take you back home – in Vladikavkaz? How do you evaluate the athletes who participated in this tournament last year?
A. L .:
If A1 tournament was held in a different city, you will not be performed 100%. And so all kept asking if I would fight. But at the same time make the house – a great responsibility. Here I am the champion! Very scary do not meet the expectations of fans. But if you still decide to act, it will be bad for everyone. In principle, except Chaffee composition painfully familiar, fought and won at all. Therefore, the training will be as always. As when he was a child, the absolute champion Ruslan armsportu Kokoyev told me: “You must be strong enough to not think about how to fight your opponent!”. In general, as soon as he stopped fighting, training of other athletes did not even think.

——–

In conclusion I would like to say a few words about the state of the Russian armsport. The results of the Russian championship this year, sad! We dip generation. Go Zoloeva brothers, Ivan Matyushenko fight finishes, and we get a Russian team without a leader in the men’s team. Perhaps only Cherkasov may show consistently high results. And given that this year will be back many athletes disqualified, the picture is not happy. In my time in the Russian team was guaranteed 4-5 gold medals, and now first numbers are candidates for master of sports, which limit – 6-7-th place. Pleases only Alexander Filimonov, the president of our association armsport which leaps and bounds moving arm sport in the Paralympic Games. We wish him good luck and success!

We, in turn, we hope that Arsene will return to the arm sport to shake up the situation, to fight the champions of the two years that he was away.
