You have a quarter of a century under your belt. What have you achieved? What are the most important events in your life?

Many things have happened. I think I’ve achieved a lot this year, from a silver medal in my school, to winning the World Championships. I think sports have built a strong character in me. I do all that I do with conviction.

Are you happy with your sports career? Any plans for the future?

Of course I’m happy with my sports career, and I’m going to climb even higher. I’m planning to start in A1 this year; aside from that – who knows what else is in store for me?

Aside from sports, can you tell us anything about your private life?

I have a girlfriend that I love very much. I hope to marry soon … It’s all so simple – work, training, home.

One of my life’s achievements is my job – as a wrestling coach in a sports school for children. I can give all I know to the next generations. I have a plan to change my job a little, but that’s a secret for now.

What’s your goal for now?

I’m preparing for the 2015 season.

What is your worst fear?

I don’t have any fears really. Fear is not my specialty.

Is there anything in your life that you regret, that you’d like to change if you could?

There are no such things. Everything I’ve done, I did out of my own free will.

Artem has a lot of achievements and wins on his card. Sports are a very important aspect of his life. Thanks to armwrestling, he’s become a strong man, who looks into the future with his head raised high. We wish him all the best!
