Levan Saginashvili showed an excellent performance at the last European Championship. On his left arm he left no chance to any of his rivals and took a well-deserved first place. ()
In his right hand he showed not the result that was expected of him, but anyway he was in the prize three. But Levan got experience and without any delay soon after the championship he continued to train:
"After the European Championships I rested nearly two weeks, I recovered and healed my injuries. After that I started workouts and began intensive training for the World Championship in Bulgaria. My workouts are good, everything is going according to plan, I feel in better shape than at the European Championships. I think that for the World Championship I will be able to show the best form in my career".
Levan is not only working to improve his shape and power indicators. He made some conclusions from his fights at the European Championship and now he is ready to rematch:
"I had a job on the bugs after the European Championship and I have changed my training little. I really want to fight with Krasimir Kostadinov, Arif Ertem and Gennady Kvikvinia.
I do not know if I can meet all of them, but I want to fight with the most powerful and ready to give them a fight".
Many of top heavyweights are facing a similar problem, they do not have an equal sparring partners. However, it should not be a problem for Levan, because he trains together with Gennady Kvikvinia, one of the best armwrestlers heavyweights. In general, it is difficult not to notice that in the Georgian team there’s a wonderful friendly atmosphere. Despite the fact that the armwrestling is an individual sport, the Georgian team is a real team:
"We train together with Gennady and help each other. Primarily, we are good friends and then – rivals. Gennady now is also in great shape and definitely, he will be stronger than in Bucharest at the European Championships. We all train together, our entire team. We want to win the team competition this time, just as we did at the European Championship, when our team became the first in the senior men category".
We wish Levan, as well as all the Georgian team, to realize thier plans. Learn more news about the Georgian team on our site!
