The following interesting information are coming to us from the place of the Armwrestling World Championships. As we got to know the planned start of the juniors left hand has not come yet. From 9:00 a.m. until now (13:30) all the competitors are waiting for the beginning of the competitions in the hall.  The official reason is a technical problem with computers for carrying out the tournaments and electric current. According to the information we got for now there are no chances for a quick start.

We have also some good news from Italy. Yesterday (8^th of September 2009) during the official congress of competitions Poland received the permission to organize the World Armwrestling Championships in 2013.

It is a great hnour for us and the opportunity to improve the quality of carrying out the competitions on the world’s level.

Additionally, new weight category was introduced among junior girls – additional category is up tu 65kg (until now we had categories up to 60kg and up to 70kg). It will enable better selection of the strongest juniors.

According to the relations of the people present in the place of competition, the hall chose for the struggles is quite small (it parallel to the hall in which the Polish Cup in Rumia was carried out). That is why not everyone who wanted to see the competitions managed to get in. We may even say that not all of the registered 600  competitors would be able to fit in. There are 4 tables made in Italy which are different than the ones accepted by the WAF on the stage.

To sum up what we have heard, we think that today will not be recognized as a good one by the organizers.
