Krasimir Kostadinov: “I will pull in 105 kg” # Armwrestling # Armpower.net

This year Krasimir Kostadinov shown a little bit unexpected results on the right hand at Worlds. Did home walls not help him to reach gold? ()

There’re no doubts that Bulgarian athlete Krasimir Kostadinov is really strong.

But this time Krasi shown his best on the left hand and got 1st place on left hand and only 11th on the right. It was a real surprise for us. But what happened?

Krasimir, tell us how was your preparation going? How do you think, did you make a good shape for the championship?

– My preparation was great. I am very happy with the result of the left hand. With right I made some mistakes and payed for them. My form was great with right too but I couldn’t show it.

The championship was held in your country. Did you feel a support of native land? Did you feel an additional responsibility because of it?

– I was feeling super on home ground. At home even the walls are helping. And yes, it gives you a little bit more pressure also.

Tell about your fights on the left hand. Did somebody make you nervous?

– With left I was expecting to win and I was very, very nervous.

How do you like Ivan Matushenko? How would you estimate him?

– I was expecting the match with Ivan with a lot of adrenalin. I was prepared and I am very happy with my performance.

What about right hand? At the Europeans you won Levan and Genadi and got second place. This time you was not so lucky. What was the reason?

– Well... Genady is very smart puller and he surprised me ... I was expecting hook from him but he toprolled me . With Arif... I don’t know how he managed to catch me so and I couldn’t get to the straps... I will give my best to change the result of our pull next time...

Will you take part at this Zloty Tur? What category do you choose?

– Yes, I will pull at Zloty. This year there is a new category and it is exactly for my weight. So I will pull in – 105 kg. I hope to be healthy and to show my best there!!!

Tell about your student – Dimitrina Dimitrova. She made a great progress, what is it connected with?

– Dimitrina is my best student! She is always serious with the trainings and she is progressing all the time! I wish her health and to continue to develop!

How did she get prepared to this worlds? Will she take part at Zloty Tur?

– For the worlds she was preparing as usual but this time with a little bit more focus on the wrist. She wants a little bit rest now and will not pull at Zloty.

Do you have any other students? Tell about them, please.

– I have several more students. One of them is very strong already. His name is Elbin Ferad. He is 16 and became third with left hand at the worlds. His right is better but the draw was not so good for him and he couldn’t show his best. But if everything is ok I am sure that next year he will be champion.

The rest of my students are too young. So will tell you about them in a few years maybe.

We are sure that this strong armwrestler will show his best on both hands at Zloty Tur in his new category.
