The other day in the Professional Armwrestling League replenishment happened. A specialist appeared in the team who will help all interested organizers from different countries to conduct armwrestling competitions. We are glad to welcome Elena Kuzmich, President of PAL Ukraine! ()
Olena, how do you feel about being a URPA officer?
- Firstly, for me being a PAL officer is a huge honor and at the same time a lot of responsibility. If before my work and terms of reference did not go beyond the refereeing of professional tournaments, now I have to organize these tournaments. This status and position expand the range of activities and allows me to think and act more broadly.
What prospects do you see for yourself and for sports related to such activities?
- The experience of participating as an athlete and referee, the experience of conducting international tournaments and armfights has shown that arm wrestling is one big international family that grows stronger and grows every day, which is why my plans are to contribute to the development of armwrestling, to make it even more well-known and popular, interest and attract even more athletes to participate in it.
What will be your first steps in this role?
- The first steps towards meeting my goals have already been made, but a lot of work awaits us, which is conducting trainings and seminars for future organizers, referees, athletes, it is important for everyone to know the rules and specifics of PAL / URPA. One of the main points of my job obligations is the organization of tournaments and armfights in the countries entrusted to me, and next year the tasks set will be realized and the goals achieved. In parallel with this, we are starting work on new international projects, which we will talk about shortly. To organize tournaments, to see the positive emotions of athletes, the successful implementation of armwrestling ideas in life is my main motivation.
We wish Elena endless energy and interesting challenges that will develop arm wrestling and present it to an increasing number of spectators and participants.
