A few days ago the preliminary starting list of participants of the world championship, which will take place in Bulgaria in the period from 1 to 10 October, was published. Despite the fact that these lists are not complete (at least, there are no athletes from Georgia and Kazakhstan), they still indicate that the upcoming championship will be very interesting and will bring many surprises. ()
All of these categories are filled with renowned athletes and stars of armwrestling. However, they face a difficult task – to prove that they are on the right at the top. What impressions await for spectators of the championship?
In the category of 85 kg on the left hand, three athletes will be likely dominating: Sasho Andreev Artem Taynov and Oleg Zhokh.
Sasho Andreev is expected in this category. The current champion of Europe, he is incredibly strong. However, here also is Artem Taynov, who in addition to his force has a great experience of performances and victories. Everyone knows that his left hand is capable for when he is 100% ready. In connection with the cancel of the September Vendetta, Zhokh Oleg also decided totake part at the world championship, and once again changed his weight class. We will not even discuss Oleg’s left hand strength. But as mentioned above, this is a partial list of possible participants. The Star Company could refill young, talented and very strong competitor from Kazakhstan –Kydyrgali Ongarbaev. The fight for first place will be very serious.
On the right hand in this category following composition is slightly different, but the intrigue of it does not become less. Here we will not see neither Oleg Zhokh nor Artem Taynov, but at the lists incredibly strong Spartak Zoloyev is present. Sasho and Spartak have not met at the table in a tournament, and taking into account their style of fighting, we are waiting for an exciting spectacle.
In the weight category of 90 kg on the right hand, the anticipated fight will be a meeting Khadzhimurat Zoloev and Evgeniy Prudnik.
Khadzhimurat Zoloyev is an armwrestling legend. The dominant champion on the right hand. This year Khadzhimurat decided to change the category and try his hand in the weight category up to 90 kg. In the same category on the right hand is declared Evgeniy Prudnik from the Ukraine, who, because of serious injury did not fight on the right at the World Championship-2015 and the European Championship-2016. Now he is in the application, and it may mean that Evgeniy has recovered from injury and ready to perform at the same level. We had once watched the duel of athletes, and remember that if both are ready; it will be quite a spectacle.
What do you think about the final three of these categories? Let’s discuss!
