Travelling broadens the mind ...

The seminar for Finnish athletes, led by Andrey Pushkar turned into an interesting journey. Travelling broadens the mind, but it’s energy-consuming as well ...

Important! Unofficial news concerning super heavy weight pullers who are preparing for the Lion Cup FITMAX Challenge 2013. As you know, the competition will be held in Lviv. Last year Andrey came just for one day. He lives dozens of kilometers away from Lviv. Last year’s competition was held only for one hand. Andrey came, won, had something to eat and returned home. No one was even able to pull him.

This year it may be like in this old saying: “Now, or never?”

It might be the only chance to defeat Pushkar as he won’t have much time to recover after coming back from Finland. He’ll just manage to make it to the Lion Cup.

How did this happen?

He went from Lviv to Helsinki for the weekend.

The distance is 1370 km. He led a training seminar and then decided to visit Gdynia to meet Igor Mazurenko and the FITMAX Team.  He wants to rest a bit and go to the competition together with us. The distance from Gdynia to Lviv is about 760 km.

But Andrey decided to go through Kaliningrad. The distance between Helsinki and Kaliningrad is 785 km. It turned out, however, that the Champion had forgotten about the visa to the European Union. He’s got a single visa. As a result he had to fly to Ukraine, which means he lost two days and certainly is not in the best form.

So ... if not now, then when?

On the other hand, angry, sleepy and hungry Pushkar may be an even tougher opponent.

Whatever happens, a lot will be going on in Lviv!

And one thing is certain.

When we meet with Andrey and I ask him, “What’s up?” – he’ll respond: “I’m fine, thanks. And you?”

See you in Lviv!
