The last World Championship can hardly be called successful for Vazgen Soghoyan. He did not pull on his left hand, and on the right was the twenty-third. However, Vazgen has worked as the USA team captain and cheer for two teams at once – Armenian and American.

Vazgen, how do you a world championship? Are you satisfied with your results?

- World Championship, as always, was excellent! It’s just a pleasure to be there and take part in it.

Of course, I am not happy with the results. I felt some fatigue; generally I could not feel the start. But I will not remember details, of course, I will keep in mind all my mistakes and start working on them. I have analyzed the situation and made some changes in my training.

Whose fights at the championship impressed you the most?

- I think that the Armenian team's pulling was the most intriguing. Just three gold medalists – Davit Dadikyan (two gold juniors), Emil Amirshadyan (gold and silver in the senior) and Vrezh Sedrakyan (gold senior).

Especially exciting was Sedrakyan’s fights.

Do you think someone was not enough for this competition?

- I think there was not enough Babayev, Liliev, some US heavyweights, Mnatsakanyan, Chapukhian and many other award-winning athletes.

Do you think you cope with the role of a team captain?

- In general, I coped with the work of the captain, I managed to organize a successful weighing for my team, and, of course, productive work during WAF Congress. My team, in general, completed the task. Of course, there were some mistakes, but anyway.

How do you think American arm wrestling differs from the European?

- Today, the US arm wrestling develops in a slightly different direction than the European. In America, they pay more attention for a show business at the moment. But in my personal opinion, that’s why we lag behind trends of the global armwrestling. Hopefully, the American Federation will draw conclusions on the matter.

What next?

- Only one thing - to become stronger! I want to win and delight my friends and fans!
