Called the “Blond Beast” (not a good name in my opinion) the famous Swedish champion has joined the cast of an extremely popular Swedish TV show “The Gladiators” to play “Spirit”. It is a kind of reality show, which draws well over a million viewers every week. It should be added that the Swedish population is 9.5 million people.

The news was first spotted by reliable Andrey Sharkov who in his commentary wrote:

This well-known champion does much to popularize our sport in the world. She has recently appeared in Japanese TV and armwrestled with athletes of other sports. Now she’s fighting in “The Gladiators” for the Swedish audience!

Conclusions?

Thanks to the efforts of the champion Armwrestling will become more and more popular in Sweden. People will get to know that there exists such a sport. A large percentage of them will look for a club and will begin training. This year, at the Lithuanian EuroArm and Polish World Championships we won’t see it, but we can expect a significant increase in the level of Swedish armwrestling, which after all is high.

Will other countries find their Champion? Will they manage to have their champions joined popular television programmes?
