You are one of the best armwrestlers. But it seems like you have Nemiroff’s curse. You can win A1, but always something is happen on Nemiroff. How can you explain it?

I think about in not at first. I don’t know; it’s mystical.

Your fight with Tim Bresnan was very interesting. What rival is Tim? Is he very strong? Has he a good technique? How can you describe him?

He is strong and skilful, but he always fights at the brink of a foul. He put his elbow in a special way while he’s fighting. When I attacked him sideways, Tim’s elbow slipped of the pad, and then Tim put it back. The main referee couldn’t see it, but why did not watching referees see it…

Yes, you screamed about it during the fight but there was no foul. Later you came back and asked for excuse and all viewers applauded you. What caused such emotions?

I would like to remember one moment. We know that the main sportsman’s purpose is to play fair and the main purpose of referee is to do it objectively. I have no claims at all to Tim Bresnan he’s a good armwrestler, a good man. To the main referee - too. All my emotions and complaints were addressed to those who watched the monitors. A similar situation was during the struggle Bresnan vs Prudnik, but problems were seen and Eugene won. So I can not understand where monitor referees were looking, if the foul was the same. But in any case, I'm sorry that I broke.

Actually, I was surprised that I was invited to the OPEN class. In my category I was eighth, so had nothing on hoping and went to fight with Krasimir Kostadinov backstage. And then got an information tha I can take part. It was a surprise, you know. But I never refuse to fight.

Who was the star of this year's Nemiroff for you? Dave showed a good show, as Prudnyk and Lithuanian Grigaitis .

It’s hard to say. I believe that Dennis does not prove himself at his best. He held 30-40 percent of his power and skill. Therefore, this time Dave was technically above Denis. As for the real answer to the question ... I can not call myself! ( laughs)

A lot of controversies provoked the fight Andrey vs Dennis - the audience whistled when they gave their hands without a fight. Denis said that it was such a tactic, what do you think about this?

It is actually a tactic. It’s hard to say if they were really arranged, but we have seen the result - Denis did not go to OPEN. And then behind the stage I've heard that Dave Chaffey wouldn’t fight in OPEN. Was Dave there for support Tim? I don’t know…
