The DISABLED - STANDING MEN LEFT PI 80 KG category. Maciej Gralak and Dawid Łapa... They have been dueling each other for a few seasons already and they always light it up by the table. First - left in disabled. Maciek won with the Slovak, then gets to Dawid. It took over a minute, that's for sure. Dawid had the "marathoner eyes" as if he just got to the finish line and heard he has to run two kilometers more. But Maciej also didn't look too well. Dawid won this duel. Then he won with the Slovak and they stayed as the two. The final... Hook, if I remember correctly, because my notes got soaked with my tears (that happens sometimes)... Maciej won, and then a moment of rest before the second final. It turned out, though, that the emotions passed (for then) and Maciej won quite "smoothly", but I wouldn't want to be in his place for the "smooth" battle.

Armwrestling duels can be: short, banal, the easy 'attack, counterattack, win'. But there are also dramatic fights where the spectators just worry if any of the competitors will just run out of strength. The first duel between Maciej and Dawid was just like that.

Dawid won with Maciej with his right arm and you could say that they switched places on the podium. It's interesting that Dawid says his left arm is better; here he performed best with his right one.

They really rocked!

Moreover, Maciej performed in seniors 63kg and got bronze and gold.

Maciek's comment:

"The SENEC HAND IFA  ARMWRESTLING WORLD CUP took place on July 9-10 in Senec, Slovakia. I got 4 medals: 2 golds, a silver and a bronze. In disabled under 80kg (not my weight category), I got a gold and a silver. In seniors under 63kg I got a bronze with my left arm and gold with my right arm which I'm very satisfied with because these are my first medals from competing with able-bodied athletes at an international event."

Senec Hand is over. This is the first note of mine. More tomorrow, look forward to them!
