Armwrestler, bobsledder, and … what else can Alexey Voevoda do? ()
He is a master of everything. And this is not a boast, it’s a fact. A great armwrestler, distinguished master of sports, he jumped into a bobsled straight from the armwrestling table. And became double Olympic champion.
Voevoda manages two entirely different sports masterfully. And now, when everybody’s holding their breath whether he’ll return to armwrestling – he became a star of a TV show. We’re talking about the show “I can do it!”, aired on the “Russia” channel. The contestants in this show had to try their hand at completely foreign activities. And all that to prove that one can do anything!
There were a lot of celebrities in this show, sportsmen and artists alike faced difficulties in order to prove that you can always get better. Some of the categories that they competed in were: “strength”, “DIY”, “humor”, “dancing”, “music”, and “secrets”.
The organizers dubbed this project “a first ever extreme super show”. Anyone who’s seen at least one episode can attest to that.
One of the main characters of the project is Alexey Voevoda. Hid appearance in a scene where he entered a Zorb ball made a mixed impression with the audience. How can it be that an Olympic champion makes a laughing stock out of himself? But his further actions in the show made people think differently of him. A breakthrough came with his singing the “Per te” song. He conquered the jury with his voice, even music specialists were awed. Impossible became possible. And I seriously doubt it if anyone could do the reverse, if any singer could become an armwrestler in just seven days.
“I can do it!” is a great show that proved Voevoda’s diversity. The winner of the project is Dmitrij Bikbaev , former «БиС» vocalist, Alex placed 4th out of 12 people. We are so proud to have him in our armwrestling family.
