Wojciech Jabłecki CHESTERFIELD BAD BOYS – a gold in plus, left arm. Moreover, a silver in OPEN with his left arm! That's definitely something new, or rather someone that we don't know much about, so it's high time we introduced him.

Wojciech Jabłecki CHESTERFIELD BAD BOYS – a gold in plus, left arm. Moreover, a silver in OPEN with his left arm! That's definitely something new, or rather someone that we don't know much about, so it's high time we introduced him.

He's tall - very tall. 204 cm is a height that not many armwrestlers can flex. Look at his picture with Alex. He's 27 and works as... you won't believe it - a trucker in the UK. What comes to your mind when you hear 'a trucker'? The "Over the Top" movie, of course - a movie that helped our sport grow. That was the case with Wojtek as well. He's seen it many times with his father who really liked it. After his father's passing, he decided to try it himself.

This was already in Great Britain where he moved when he was 16. Before that, he played some serious basketball in Katowice. He succeeded in middle school leagues in England, and then in professional leagues later on.

Time for armwrestling!

Wojtek says:

I contacted Adam Kaczor who led me to armwrestling in the UK - the Chesterfield Bad Boys where I've stayed to this day. Ever since the beginning I've owed a lot to the multiple UK and WAF champion - Alan Greaves. I've been following his advice for the longest time now and I'm forever grateful for that.

Kamil Jabłoński...

And now this entire sequence of events! First, "Over the Top", then the club and then, a white-and-red Kamil Jablonski appears! Wojtek met Kamil in Great Britain and they trained together twice.

Let's go further!

If it wasn't for Kamil... the iconic Kamil vs Marcin Lachowicz Vendetta wouldn't happen! I'm sure you remember the amazing duel in Warsaw!

Wojtek:

"I saw the Vendetta between Kamil and Marcin Lachowicz and I was amazed by Marcin's talent, his technique and confidence. I thought that Marcin could teach me a lot and help me progress as a sportsman. His trainings are exhausting but well-matched to my physical abilities. And Marcin feels I can do a lot in this sport."

So now, once again, more people and events somehow "create" another competitor. Our sport is developing well in Poland. Though it's not spectacular, it still is growing step by step.

PeSzy: Wojtek, it's nice to meet you, congratulations on your success at the Polish Cup and I wish you a great career.

Wojciech Jabłecki's success:
