[STEVE PHIPPS]

Congrats on your win!

[Casey Szparaga]

Congrats!

[jamesretarides]

Way to go Florian. Dirk Schenker, there's a name from the past. Last time I saw him I think he was 220 or so.

[Coley Jones]

Well done, Florian. Does Ivan Metzker pull outside of Germany often? It looks like he had a great result but I'm not familiar with his name yet.

[Florian Kellersmann]

Thank you very much! I'm very happy with my result

@ James: Dirk Schenker was not that heavy (about 230 maybe), but decided to pull open class. He was not as strong as usual this year as he was at world class level a few years back with a 2nd place at WAF and a win at the new york big apple grapple (also against Marcio). He also has beaten an in shape August Smisl before. Also I heard he had a good pull with Brzenk at Zloty one year, but injured himself badly.

@coley: Ivan Metzker is a strong guy. He hasnt pulled much international yet, but he may go to EAF and WAF, not sure though.
The strongest guys at about 85-90kg in Germany are Dieter Spannagel and André Riske (open class winner righty ) though. Dieter's strength is on high international level.

Steve Black: The Hoyeler Adler are a very strong team that comes from Tug of War originally and is into armwrestling too for about 8 years now. Daniel Peters is a young puller with a bright future in the sport.

Flo,
Congrats on your win!

[enginterzi]

great job Florian!

[Florian Kellersmann]

Thank you very much, David and Engin

[Scott George]

Congrats Florian, great job on your win!

[Robert Kornek]

Congrats Florian You pulled great this year and You are surely no newcomer anymore.
It was a pleasure to see You pull.Looking forward to see Your future wins.

Unfortunately I couldn´t perform at our nationals as good as the last years because of big pains and a injury in my left arm and also problems with my right.
The strong German/Russian Iwan Metzger was well trained and great prepared this year in the 85kg class and deserved his title this year.

Andre Riske 93kg and Dieter Spannagel 87kg were the two special Armwrestlers this year and dominated their classes.Andre dominated even the overall. Both are in great shape.

[Florian Kellersmann]

Thank you very much, Scott! I'll follow your armwrestling career closely, your strong hands will help you, I'm sure!

Hey Robert, thank your for your nice words. I know it is not possible to pull as good as you normally do if you are injured. But you fought like a warrior and I KNOW that you get your national title back next year, champ!
