Almost two hundred competitors form fifteen countries came to Senec. It’s worth to take a look at a representation from Kazakhstan. Its authorities did not confine to a reconnaissance during NEMIROFF WORLD CUP 2011 and organization of the (successful) World Championships 2011. It’s obvious that Armwrestling is starting to be estimated in that far-away country. The players are well financed and able to go to tournaments, wherever they have sports and training justification, every month. And so we are pleased that the Kazakhs appeared for the first time in such a strength at out tournaments in Poland. Moreover they use their experiences from Poland in their first World Championships. Apart from that representation such ones as: Chech Republic, Slovakians, Russians, Hungarians, Bulgarians and two people from Poland came to the Senec Hand. Such well-know names as Dimitri Trubin, Lubomir Jagnesak, Cvetan Gashevski and others appeared. A beautiful representative of the Slovakian team Sniazana Babajew needs to be mentioned separately. Armwrestling fans certainly know the whats behind the scenes of the family which were the source of the “transfer”.

The fact that decides of the increasing prestige of the tournaments is an excellent time. Most of the representations treat the competition as a kid of test before the European Championships in May. For example Chech Republic have their Championships in a week, but Senec Hand is the most important ‘sieve’ to select the national team.

The boss of the federation Milan Czapla would like to celebrate incoming jubilee year in a special way, as it’s going to be the 20th tournament. There will for sure be an internet broadcast, as our editors already ensure you. We’ve also talked of expanding the tournaments for two days. The advantage of the Senec Hand is the participation of junior and master classes. The minus is the lack of disabled class. Milan Czapla is afraid whether players would be interested in two-day competitions. Igor Mazurenko tries to convince him that if it is supposed to be a live broadcast, the program cannot be overloaded. The start of a given class cannot be scheduled for 06.30p.m. and then to take place at 9.00. Senec Hand is a great tournament, Worth to take part in. We also can learn a little form the Slovakians, who have already have forty Armwrestling clubs. And the country is smaller than Poland. But they have been working for twenty years…
