Russian National Team for Nemiroff 2010 # Armwrestling # Armpower.net

Almost from the very beginning of fighting of the international tournament "Złoty Tur Cup – Professionals’ Armwrestling World Cup - Nemiroff World Cup" a strong group of players was formed by a Russian Armwrestling team. The same will be also during this year's competition, where the Russian Armwrestling Federation put a pretty strong group of sportsmen.

Men up to 63kg and 70kg classes.

At present up to 63kg and 70 kg classes are less stuffed with the Russian competitors than usual. However let’s not forget that we still have almost a month to the beginning of the Professionals’ World Cup and there is no doubt that some interesting names of the Russian Armwrestling may appear.

Igor Akhmedshin Junior (the son of the founder of the Russian Armwrestling and also the organizer of an international tournament, "Russian Bear" in the 90s - Igor Akhmedshin Seniors) the eventually withdrew his start in the 63kg class (probably for financial reasons, and also the).

Men up to 78kg class.

It is not really known if Alexander Bulenkov from St Petersburg will appear in this class. We all know that he has a very strong left arm. At the moment, however, he is preparing for the World Championships in Las Vegas. Although he is willing to start at the Nemiroff World Cup - Sopot 2010, he is unfortunately waiting for his sponsors’ response. At this moment, a substitute in his place shall be Sergiej Pisarkov (up to 78 kg class).

Men up to 86kg class.

In the up to 86kg class, there is still one free place for a Russian representative. Perhaps, a few more players (including Roman Filopov - his start is not sure yet) who would want to enforce the Russian team for this year's Nemiroff World Cup, will wake up to a start.

Men up to 95kg class.

There is hard situation in the 95kg class. Arsen Lilijev and Murat Karyaev had to share to the right and left hand. Arsen will finally start at right hand rivalry, while Murat in the left hand rivalry.

Men +95kg class.

Unfortunately, previously announced start of Andrey Antonov is not possible. As it turned out that Andrey’s heart is seriously ill, and he unfortunately, will not be able to come to the tournaments to fight in the super-heavy class. In the +95kg class, so we have two comeptitors from Russia: Denis Cyplenkova and Patrikieev Sergey.

The first of them probably does not need to be introduced. As Denis is a defender of the first place in that class from the previous tournaments. Whereas the second one is a dark horse of the Russian National Team. This competitor already competed in Professionals’ World Cup rivalry in 2006, after which he returned home with a brown medal in the super heavy class. As far as we are concerned Sergiej is training very hard at the moment, and his form is at an amazing top.

Women up to 65kg class.

Among women, the main competitor of the Russian National Team is Ekaterina Liryna (defender of the gold of the left and right from last year's tournament.) Still, the unanswered question remains whether her incredibly strong rival from Moscow - Irina Gladkaya will arrive.

Bellow there is an initial list of the Russian National Team for this year’s “Professional’s World Cup – Nemiroff World Cup – Sopot, Poland 2010”, which will take place on the 05th-06th November 2010 in Sheraton Sopot Hotel:
