When we spoke yesterday with Igor Mazurenko on the stars of this year’s Nemiroff, Igor named Dave, Prudnik and you. You were a hurricane in the OPEN, 4^th place is very good. Do you feel like a winner ?

In 2012 I was 3rd in + 95 category and was very happy, but in this year even Puskar, become 3, so my 4th place is good enough for me.

I saw your great joy after the fights, what did you feel, how important was this for you?

I am very emotional sportsman and I am very happy with every victory especialy in such a tournament.

What is your opinion of Prudnik, the guy took the 95+ kg like a storm, with only 86kg, isn’t that a phenomenon?

I think that Prudnik have the best armwrestling technique, he can fight in all positions, thats why he can beat so many strong and big guys.

There was a lot of controversy on Denis vs. Andrey, the audience booed when they gave up the hand. Denis says it was strategy, what do you think?

When they were giving up left hands to each other, for me and my brother (and many other people) wanted to go home, because it was borring to watch. But I can understand them if they will kill each other many guys can beat them, thats why they are playing such (not interesting for others) game.
