Who will take Denis away (at least) one cup?

There is the IX Professionals’ World Cup ahead of us already. The ninth, but also the twelfth. How is it? Well, Tur, namely Zloty Tur came first into being and  the World Cup is originated from Tur. Therefore, the organizers, the Professional Armwrestling League, also retained the numbering of the Zloty Tur. This procedure is good, because it stresses the stability of operations. It is also beneficial for viewers, because - WARNING! - Gives you twice as pretexts to jubilees. The tenth, round Tur (Zloty) anniversary, was celebrated during the seventh World Cup, now the Cup is coming up to equal ten. That will be the feast! For now, however, the ninth Professionals’ Cup is before ahead.

But there will a jubilee! The place that will host the world's leading armwrestlers this autumn - MAZURKAS CONFERENCE CENTRE is celebrating exactly twenty years of the company. No matter how you slice it, a feta after a feta, anniversary chasing anniversary?

Zloty Tur Cup was born in Gdynia, and it stuck to the waterfront (Tornado, Gemini) during the first three years. Then a whole, more and more numerous caravan has moved on the conquest of Warsaw. As the first one Marriott Hotel gave the welcome to armwrestlers and competitions in the Ballroom went down in history, both because of sports excitement, and because of the solemn setting. The World Cup was hosted in the heart of the capital twice, then it was time to Dolny Mokotow and located next to the government residence (and Russian embassies) Hyatt Hotel, specifically the great casino of the hotel. Among rattle of the roulette and rustling of folded cards competitions in 2005 and 2006were held, the memorable games.

Next years were the meetings in Wola, on Grzybowska street, in the Hilton Hotel, close to the Warsaw Uprising Museum. Ibid, at the Olympic Casino, fans could see Denis Cyplenkov in the flesh for the first time. It is in Hilton where we celebrated the Jubilee of Zloty Tur.

After eight years, "PAL crew" -  the World Cup organizers decided to return to the Baltic cost. We met in Sopot, in Sheraton Hotel. Powerful professionals with difficulty, but elegantly fitted in the conference room, and in terms of the number of distinguished guests and the media - a record was established.

Another, this year's World Cup location is as impressive as those of recent years. Few are so terrific places, like MAZURKAS in Ożarów. A few years ago I was at a professional boxing gala there and I have to admit that the interiors are impressive. MAZURKAS CONFERENCE CENTRE grows from year to year, and now on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the company it has yet been extended. There will for sure be enough place to fight - a large, spacious ballroom seating nearly thousand seats and standing places for the audience. I hope that with difficulty, but it will fit in. Arivall from Warsaw is not a problem, only 12 km. From what I know as of yet - the advantages of cooking in MAZURKAS are not to be underestimated ...

What awaits us?

Over twenty hours of continuous sports spectacle. Counting briefly - the ability to see live more than a thousand fights. From these thousand fights at least dozens between the Best of the Best, World Armwrestling Stars. I count on and assume that at least ten of the clashes between the Masters would have a chance to go down in history. Let’s add also surprises in the form of "a Dark Horse", players whose talent will be revealed right here at these competitions, we should add unexpected happy debuts, unexpected failures of the favourites ... From my calculations and comparisons on the basis of previous tournaments it looks as though the event of "the greatest concentration of sport in the sport" awaits us.


Additional Attractions

Just like last year a show of a rock band awaits us. Last year’s Nemiroff showed us that "performing live" perfectly fits in the specificities of the sport and this event of such a high rank.

As an interstitial ad of 15th October 2011 for the second time (last year's edition took place during the Professionals’ World Cup in Sopot) will be the grand finale of "Mobil Delvac Strong Tracker" so, we will get to know who is the strongest truck driver.

From 5th June to 9th September 2011 on selected Polish parks eliminations were held, during which truck drivers willing to (a person having a driving license C who are the drivers of trucks and buses) stand up to fight with a machine or to compete directly at the table. 10 strongest drivers who have obtained the best results in armwrestling with the machine and won the rivalry between trakers  qualified for the grand finale. Trakers’ tournament is held under the auspices of Mobil Delvac oil producer.

Who will we meet?

Do you remember when Grygory Bondaruk discoursed with opponents weighing over a hundred? And Gashevskiego Professor, who literally "hypnotized" rivals with an incredible concentration. Jan Germanus, big, strong dude also did quite a "mess" at the second Tur. Remember Alexey Voevod, don’t you? Yes, the one who then started in bobsleighs! Those were the real fights, then in the Marriott Hotel!  Babayev brothers – do you remember how "fiercely" they fought with each other? John the Legend Brzenk in jeans and with a retainer – what he despatched with opponents? And finally Denis the Giant Cyplenkov crushing rival one by one like a machine.

That all was before. Now we are looking at current affairs, or rather at who is preparing for Ozarow? Denis certainly does not feel threatened in the left hand rivalry, but ... but he may be surprised ... It is no secret that it was the World Cup that became a major event in a calendar of many professionals. Training cycles are subordinated under this particular take off, and often also a duel with the "chosen" opponent. It is not inconceivable that somewhere, in the deep East, in the stuffy gym, right now, there is "someone" looking at a poster with the image of Denis hanging on the wall and is starting again, the crazy work out of ...the left hand. I do not I mean Pushkar, Lilijev, Babayev or Uzmanov here.

Certainly we will not see John Brzenk fighting, as he had a surgery and has to pause. But there will be other Americans. We will see powerful Jery Cadorev, also the world-famous Travis Bagent and other American grandmasters of the sport.

All for Cyplenkov?

If not this year, that's never! In Sopot this mighty armwrestler managed to win the Cup, actually two cups - on both hands. Even so it is worth to come to Ożarów, even just to see if someone will "break" Denis’s dominance. I think that if it is to happen, it's only now, this year. If Denis permanently “sits” on bimanual throne – no one will be able to “remove” him! These are, of course, my prediction, I encourage you to bet on the results and bet - who and on which hand (possibly) would beat Cyplenkov?

A broadcast of the semi-final, finals and open fight on nSport television, rebroadcasts on TV Boets Russia, Ring TV Bulgaria, sportbox.ru. Additionally reports will be published on TVN, TVN Turbo, TV Romania, TV Ukraine.

The whole event will also be possible to watch as usual at ArmBets.tv - it will be a pay issue, but I assure you that this money will not be from outer space.

Separate invitation

I do not have to actually encourage armwrestling fans to visit MAZURKAS CENTRE, but those who still do not know the specifics of our tournaments – are owed a few sentences. So I encourage especially judges of other strength disciplines. It is worth to see how the sport growing out of tradition uses a modern judging technique. In contrast to (my favourite) ski jumping - in armwrestling the use of technology in no way distorts the naturalness of the sport and it conduces fair and clear verdicts.

Organizers of events in other areas of sport I invite you to find out yourself - how a live implementation of such a powerful project is performed, how many elements need to be ripped and coordinated.

Men are welcome - and it's obvious - because of the number and beauty of hostess at the World Cup can literally knock you down. For the balance - Ladies, who have not seen our competition yet I can assure that a typical armwrestler is a very handsome and proportionally built man.
