first time in my life i took 8. place but most interesting thing was that i was the one who easily beat 2. place Romanian (who except Zoloev beat everyone quickly) The roamnian guy`s nickname is "the bullet" , he is oeur national champion at 75 kg (6 gold medals 3 with left and 3 with right) What you think about his style?

his style was effective against all except I and Zoloev.in fact i beat him quicker than Zoloev beat him even though i am sure that Zoloev would beat me as well.i must say that he surprised everyone.his style is effective against the pullers who are slow and whose starting static position is not great.
i heard that he is faster than even Ion and he sometimes give hard time to Ion because of his speed.
btw Ion was very impressive and he amazed me by pulling & winning one of the toughest Europeans ever only 2 weeks before his supermatch against M.Todd.Ion has everything that one needs for armwrestling and by pulling Europeans right before his supermatch he also proved that he is one of the bravest armwrestler in the world.

Wow This was the toughest competition ever.....Tougher than the Worlds .....
Armwrestling is at another level and the bar is getting set higher and higher.......
Anybody that competes at this Europeans can easily win or place top four at the Unifieds here upto 100kgs.....
No disrespect to anybody but IT IS WHAT IT IS........

I also strongly believe if there was a way to deduct Growth hormone and the timing of other steroids........ things would change as well..... Dont want to stir things up here again but level of competition is SCARY!!!!!

No kidding! SENIOR MEN LEFT 90 KG 1. RUDAKOV, MYKHAYLO. UKRAINE; 2. ELDZHAROV, AZAMAT. RUSSIA; 3. BASARAN, TUNCAY. TURKEY; 4. GERMANUS, JAN. SLOVAKIA; Who is this Rudakov?! 2,3, and 4 are absolute stud pullers! Germanus in 4th?! This class must have been as tough as it gets. you nailed it! I have been telling Chris Chandler does not get the respect he deserves at last years worlds 3rd place on left hand at this class behind Germanus and Tuncay but it shows how good Chris is on left hand ......

Romanians Chipreanov second place is big surrprise in 75 kg class. He was very explosive also two years ago in Worlds 2007 were he placed 15 or 16. So not bad pulling for Chipreanov in ECH 2009

first time in my life i took 8. place but most interesting thing was that i was the one who easily beat 2. place Romanian (who except Zoloev beat everyone quickly) in the second round and i also beat 3. place Ukranian at the re-start (first start was a tough match and hurt the elbow & shoulder) quickly but lost on fouls.then right after lost to Azerbaijan guy and took 8. place.so Romanian and Ukranian placed 2. and 3. but i placed 8. .i better train harder i guess. i took 3. place with left arm and did not deserve any higher placement.basically it was a tough class with World&European champions Zoloev,Bulenkov,Terzi,Haydar,Jaba,Pavel and medalists Mikkola,Flipov,Cvetkov and some other tough competitors. Pascal vs Ukranian at the semi final of the 80kg class,took 10.5 minutes (3+7,5=10.5 minutes).for a moment we tought it would never finish.toughest match i have ever seen! Once every 20 years is enough....))) after this i can say that i didnt give Rustam too much trouble)))
