Rafał Woźny: I misjudged my opponent’s style # Armwrestling # Armpower.net

The only Polish armwrestler who brought a medal from the Nemiroff World Cup. Is he satisfied with his performance? ()

You are the only Polish armwrestler to win a medal in this years Nemiroff, bronze in left hand in 78kg. Who was your toughest opponent and why?

Definitely Oleg Zhoh, left hand. This guy has no weak spot.

In the eliminations for the right hand you placed 5th, and you kept it in the finals. In your last interview you saidYou need a high score to be noticed. A middle-of-the-chart man will not be noticed, what counts is the first six, it means you were not far from the podium.” – Are you satisfied? You did place in the first six.

I would be satisfied if I hadnt made some errors and werent aware that that was the best I could do at the time. In both my lost fights I made errors in setting up, even beforeready-go, I misjudged my opponents style.

What is your opinion on the level of Polish contestants? Poland placed six in the general scoring, out of 26 countries. Is that good or bad?

Before Nemiroff I was sure well get some medals, but it turned out I was wrongSome people werent just lucky enough, we took 5th and 6th places, Darek Muszczak was very close to a medal.

Its curious that this year you were 5th in right hand, even though you took silver last year, same hand. Is that to do with losing shape?

Apparently I havent yet reached the level needed to take the podium every year in Nemiroff. I definitely wasnt out of shape, just not fresh and regenerated enough. Armwrestling is a hobby that is not easy to keep up with when you have a steady job, and I couldnt rest before the tournament. Next year it will be easier, Ill have the 5th place to go upward from, not the 2nd
