EUROARM 2010 THE POLISH JUNIORS # Armwrestling # Armpower.net

During this year’s XX European Championships – Moscow 2010 which took place between 1st and 7th of June 2010 among juniors only one competitor - Natalia Kwiatkowska from Koszalin atup to 55kg left hand classstood on the podium. Natalia got to the cup-final losing the first fight and then winning the next three, where she lost and came back to the country with the brown medal.

“I think that the armwrestler from Koszalin had a great chance of the silver medal. Being on the top after the wins Natalka could have won the semi-final. However I think that she was so satisfied of her success that she approached the cup-final with not enough concentration and minimum willing to win” – said Paweł Podlewski – the captain of the team after the rivalry.

In spite of this it is still a great success of this young competitor. The success which, as the trainer - Jarosław Zwolak said: „she worked for through thought and regular trainings”

According to the start of the rest of the armwrestlers – juniors we can say just: they were obstinated and it seemed that well prepared. Maybe for our country they did not managed to win medals but for sure they were not a disgrace for us. There fights were really impressing. Thye Simple lacked some experience, strenght and polished technique or maybe simply lack.

„From year to year the level of juniors is increasing. We still remember the times when 50-60 people came to junior tournaments.

At this year’s European Championships there was s large number of competitors – Juniors and the sports level outgrew itself. Unexpectedly for everyone this time the National team was not reinforced by Michalina Romańska from Koszalin and Nikola Ipnar from Jaworzno. There also missed some other really good juniors that repeatedly shown a great competitor class. For sure if the Polish National Team had been supplied by more well known names there would have been much more medals. Is spite of this, unexpectedly Natalia Kwiatkowska from Koszalin won the medal. What we would like to congratulate her on” – said Igor Mazurenko.
