Of course, I have to ask if he's aiming for gold or at least the podium?

Mirosław Hertmanowski:

I have to say, in my life, especially in sports, humility is very important. That's why I want to wait and see what I can do, of course it's another dream of mine and a goal I'm still working on.

How much preparation have you done already?

Mirek:

I've started with Over the Top in Wolfsburg, now I'm training hard and dieting a little. All this time I've been working on myself, I feel like there's still a lot left to do, I have my goals that I want to achieve. I'm gathering experience because every start teaches you something new.

And have you ever considered just leaving this whole armwrestling thing behind?

Mirek:

I don't think so. This sport has become a huge part of my life.

Did you train something else before armwrestling? I'm asking because of your impressive body.

Mirek:

My body is genetically-conditioned, of course it changed a little due to regular trainings but it all started with armwrestling in 2002.

What do you think, where are you now in your career?

Mirek:

I'll continue armwrestling as long as there's strength left.

I sure hope you can. Tell us, how do you combine practice with your family life?

Mirek:

It's not easy. I'm expected to be very disciplined and organized which doesn't always work out perfectly but I'm constantly working to somehow accommodate them.

PeSzy: Then I wish you find a way to do that, and see you in France!

Mirek:

Thank you, especially to the people who keep on cheering for me and motivating me, all my fans and everyone who's rooting for me! Thank you for the interview.
