TheGolden Bearleft no doubts to Romanarmwrestling was his calling. He got back to Moscow, where he met Victor Zaitsevarmwrestling enthusiast and someone whos worked with disabled fighters before.

I worked with Victor for a yearsays Roman.And then I realized that it was time to aim higher, to reach for championship. I started to look for ways to develop myself, and then fate had me meet a wonderful guy and great coachPavel Zhivore. He was my first real coach, who allowed me to excel.
