| Time in the sport |

I started August 2007 (17 years old) when me and my friend, Kent Remy Kvamsdal called the coach of the team Arne Thuen, and we was welcome.
And since that day armwrestling has been a big part of my life! |

| Toughest match |
| |
Through times I`ve pushed myself so many times to the point were my face looks like a big tomato. But the toughest match in a competition, has to be against Jan Tesar from Czech Republic at the Worlds in Canada 2008, 80 kg, junior. I tried to toproll him but he blocked my toproll by turning my hand in his hook, and I`m still holding my backpressure for a looong time.
Then he got a foul, and the same happened again, he got his second foul, so I won the match.
The whole match was about 3 minutes, and the pump I got in my left forearm was MEGA! |
