Voevoda back to armwrestling!

"Armwarrior" in our guestbook:

"Alexey Voevoda comeback?
Just found this new article with him. (from mars 5) livekuban.ru/node/46683

Translated the important part:
"The Sochi bobsledder said he was not going to part with professional sports in general - he will continue to engage in arm wrestling and plans to try his hand at judo"

Sound like a comeback no?!"

1. Irina Makeeva, Russia

2. Egle Vaitkute, Lithuania

3. Heidi Andersson, Sweden

wc2010-1-irina-egle.jpg

Egle Vaitkute of Lithuania did what (according to the rumor) no other woman have done before - she took a win against the legendary Russian Irina Makeeva with right arm!

wc2
Egle Vaitkute kept on winning - here against Heidi Andersson.

wc3
Irina Makeeva and Heidi Andersson gripping up.

wc4
Heidi stopped Irina's hit and held on surprisingly well. After 3-4 seconds (what I remember) Heidi got an elbow foul..

wc5
In the restart Irina finished the match quickly.

wc6
Irina Makeeva, Russia and Egle Vaitkute, Lithuania met in the Open final.
Irina got a good start and won the match convincingly. But Egle wasn't happy about the start for some reason (I didn't catch exactly what happened), but the referees insisted on the call and Irina took home the gold for the second year in a row.

wc8
Irina Makeeva, winner of the Open class with right arm.

wc9
Open class finishers: 1. Irina Makeeva, 2. Egle Vaitkute, 3. Heidi Andersson.

Men's Overall Class

Daniel Åberg, Björn Lundström, Freddy Gunnarsson & Urban Carlsson.


Women's Overall Class

Sarah Bäckman VS Camilla Berg, Klara Bohlin Thysell,
Marie Thysell & Carolina Pettersson.


These were two different kind of Overall classes as the ones we usually see on tournaments. The winners of the heaviest men's and women's classes - in this case Krasimir Kostadinov and Sarah Bäckman - got to pull against all the other winners in the lighter weight classes. Both won, not totally surprisingly, all their matches and won 3000 SEK each (about 305 EUR).

LARRATT VS BRZENK


Practise in Vancouver, Canada - February 21st

Devon Larratt, Canada vs. John Brzenk, USA.


Message from Josh Handeland on EnginTerzi.net:

"Anthony Dall'Antonia took this video of John and Devon practicing at their last practice in Vancouver. John said it was his last practice before his match with Arsen on March 13th. Devon is going to the Arnold on March 5th and 6th. I am sure neither of them were fresh for this match, and it is just practice, but fun to see. John looks lean and mean and ready to stomp on Arsen.

Anthony's Story that he posted on the NE Board:

"So Devon was having breakfast with me & my bro sunday morning when John called. When we found out that John was going to make it Devon was Pumped! Dave Hicks was driving over from the airport with John & Dev was fired up waiting in the gym. As they arrived the guys here were all looking at John & wanting to meet him & John just came straight to the table & locked up with Devon & they started to pull like BEASTS!! It was AWESOME!"

Yukon Jack Championship 1995, NY, USA

Part 5 & 6 (of 6)


Here are the last parts - 5 & 6 with Yukon Jack Armwrestling Championship 1995, New York, USA.


Here are some info from Karen Bean, Executive Director of AAA, about the Yukon Jack tournaments (Northeastboard.com):

“Yukon Jack was a Canadian whiskey, produced by Heublein. It was a new whiskey that Heublein wanted to introduce to the American market. So, Heublein hired a PR firm out of New York that decided to use armwrestling as it’s platform for advertisement. Main reason was the manly inscription that’s on the label on the back of the bottle. In the late 80’s, Heublein was bought out by Diageo, who still produces the whiskey.
Armwrestling benefited tremendously from the Yukon Jack events but Yukon Jack itself was of course never involved nor was Heublein or Diageo. Everything was run between the PR firm and the AAA. Once the company felt it had accomplished getting the whiskey onto the market good enough, it no longer needed the armwrestling platform for advertisement.
It was great while it lasted.
GNC used the same PR firm for a few years to promote its new product line Pro Performance and once again, due to the product line that was needing
advertisement, the AAA worked with the PR firm and we held events.
Events like these are short lived only due to the fact that a product needs introduced and armwrestling fits the bill. It won’t be long and it will be
happening again. But no product is going to ever continue to use armwrestling for its advertisement on a permanent basis. So, all we can do is enjoy the
ride while it lasts.”


Some of the armwrestlers at this championship:
Denis Dubreuil, Vephkia Samkaradze, Andreas Rundström, Dave  Patton, Allen Fisher, Jason Vale, Bill Ballinger, Chad  Silvers, Serge Usereau, Jerry Cole, Bernie Lemay, Bob Buttafuoco, George Givens, Johnny  Walker, Ryan Hutchings, Marcio Barboza, Todd Demasseo, Bill  Brzenk, John Brzenk, Reggie Ward, Eric Woelfel, Lee Holland,  Michael Todd, David Randall, Ron Bath, Garvin Lewis, Jerry  Cadorette, Zaur Tskadadze, Cleve Dean, Gary Goodridge, Mary  MacConnaughey & Dot Jones.

International tournament African/

mediterranean in Morocco April 25

"Dear friends,
by this, I would earnestly request you to Morocco as the tournament organized by our Vice-President Mr Elmamoun can be a success. It is crucial and essential that you try every means to send one or more members of your country, competitor or official. So is the credibility of our sport in this country and this continent. This year, Mr Elmamoun has secured the participation of  TV and the tournament will be enhanced by the presence of the provincial governor. It is therefore very important that we should be likely to participate in this event.
I stress very hard on this point especially for African and Mediterranean countries. By our presence, we will allow the Moroccan federation to demonstrate that our sport to a place in this country and allow the recognition of it by the highest sports authorities of Morocco. Make a special effort, I ask you as a service to your friends. I will of course be present at this event.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Greetings sports
