In this category will compete two remarkable athletes. One of them - a frequenter of Zloty Tur Krasimir Kostadinov. He pulled in the weight category of 95 kg, but in recent times it’s hard to lose weight for him, and so it will be easier to fight in the 105 kg.
Krasimir was constantly harassed by some setbacks, so he could not win the Cup category, and it’s nothing to say about open class. For obvious reasons, it was hard to participate in the race for the title with such athletes like Denis Tsyplenkov and Andrey Pushkar. Now Krasimir is in his weight class. But would it be better this year?
In the same weight category gets Vitaly Laletin, the world champion from Russia, which will debut at the Zloty Tour. Several times he was asked to take part in this tournament, but height does not allow to lose the weight up to 95 kg, Vitaly hardly even got into 100 kg. He did not want to go to open class knowing well what could happen. But Vitaly waited for his day, and he’ll pull in a new weight class. And he is a clear favorite, a contender for the title of champion of the first-time category of 105 kg.
Vitaly Laletin is a typical top-roller, but in his arsenal there is the hook too. Having good anthropometric data, Vitaly has all chances to get the gold, the more the results at the world championships show that anything is possible.
His thoughts on the Vitaly’s fight and possible opponents expressed his good friend, champion of Russia Dmitry Silaev: "I think that Vitaly will not be easy, but he will win, because for a long time he was not as strong as he is now, both on the left and on the right. All Siberia will be rooting for our tough guy! I think that Krasimir has not enough supinator to hook Vitaly. On the other hand, it may turn out that both of them would pull tough at preliminary matches, and then experience would decide. I would really like to see an armfight of 6 rounds between the athletes".
So, among all the possible participants in the category of 105 kg these two athletes will likely fight for the title and the gold medal.
