Georgy told us how he came into the sport, about his first competition, the first and most important victories:

"Now I'm 25 years old and I came in arm wrestling at the age of 12 years. My first coach was my uncle, his name is Mihail Arsenovich. He now trains in Rostov, he engaged in a lot of guys who pull at the regional level. My first competition was a district championship I was 13 years old. Later, at age 14, I won the regional rural sports contest, in 15 years has been in the prizes in the region championship. All this was in the struggle among adults, because we have not juniors’ category. My most significant achievements before Zloty Tur were on the A1 tournament, where I was a member of "golden eight".

We all remember the videos on social networks, on which Georgy demonstrates his workouts. The basis of preparation is just work with iron:

"I train mostly with iron but practically do not work at the table, except for sparrings with students. A serious pulling at the training does not allow me to show the peak power at competitions, I can not find a middle ground. In the course of my preparation I use cycling, doing workout heavy, medium and light intensity. I pay enough attention to the "base".

Georgy take part in Zloty Tur for the first time. He pulled on the right and took bronze in a new category of 105 kg.

Georgy's experience allows him to analyze his fight and to draw conclusions:

"My impressions of Zloty Tur are only positive. The tournament was organized perfectly, the organization was at the highest level, a good venue. Everything was done for the convenience and for the fight. I pulled as much as my shape allowed. My angles were prepared perfectly, but there are obvious flaws. I need to work on my hook, to strengthen biceps and triceps. Now my way of pulling is quite readable.

I fought for the first time with many athletes and I am very excited about the opportunity to try their struggle. Krasimir Kostadinov surprised me the most, his hook is very interesting, it is easier to pull his way than to try your. Also Krasimir is very tough".

Sports season is coming to an end, but Georgy did not seem to intend to have a rest, and like a true pro, hurry to the gym to correct his mistakes:

"Actually, now I want to go to the gym and quietly work on bugs, to intensify my strength. But in the near future my wife and me plan to visit 2-3 all-Russian tournament - Elista, perhaps the tournament "Lotoshino" and the championship of Russia. We have a sporting family, and we are developing a travel schedule together".
