The Czekarski district, the central Ukraine, and there, the Balakliya village, of the size equal to many Polish towns (6ths inhabitants). Here the precursor of the Polish Armwrestling, the leading activist of the European and world Armwrestling - Igor Mazurenko. What does Armwrestling look like in Igor’s home town today and did Armwrestling take root in this region of Ukraine?

Armwrestling almost doesn’t exist on my home town.

I’ve decided to change it as I was visiting my family in Balakliya I gave the village-major one of the historic table from the European Championships – Gdansk 2012. I hope, from now, Armwrestling will become an everyday life in this town, especially as some people really got interested in the discipline. I hope they will soon start training and the first tournaments will take place. Of course, every time I’m in my home town I’ll be supporting all the players with my Armwrestling knowledge.

We are expectantly waiting for sports results and the first tournaments organized in this part of Ukraine.
