Wagner, how do you feel after competition? Was it very hard for you to travel to Bulgaria and to adapt yourself? 

I feel pretty good, to tell you the truth my self-estimate improved greatly after this competition. More complicated it was to have traveled alone, but the rest was easy.

How can you estimate your shape and preparation for the competition? 

I have not changed a lot in my preparation and I'm very happy with my results, but I need to make some changes in my workouts.

There are no doubts that all guys were strong and big. But who was the most prepared and the strongest rival?   

The left arm was Polish Jan Zolcinski, Ukrainian Alexey Semerenko and Iran Mehdi Abdonvald.

Tell us about a system of this championship? As for you – what advantages and disadvantages this type of competition has? Could it show who is the best and the strongest armwrestler? 

This form of competition really shows who is the strongest or not the weakest. There are several fights, one after the other, pure resistance. I liked the format, but if compared to the traditional way, the training has to be modified according with the competition.

From January, 1st, 2015 new anti-doping code will start working. Following it what do you think about amateur armwrestlers take part at professional championship?  

 It would be nice, but every sportsmen has to know the right to compete a professional championship moment, it is totally different from an amateur league.                                      

What plans do you have?

 At the moment my plan is to train ever stronger, increase my weight and especially improve strength, speed and resistance, the rest is a consequence.
