[these pictures were taken two years ago when he was 198lb now he is 230lb, and such gains are accumulated on his upper body.]
Sung-Yeol Baik who is currently No.1 armwrestler in South Korea is coming to the U.S. to see
where he is standing in the sport of armwrestling.
I have known him more than 10 years and I personally believe that he is not only the strongest
but also the smartest armwrestler in Korea as of 2011.
The problem is that my circumstances did not allow him to visit according to competition calendar but to my academic calendar; Spring vacation from March 5 to 11.
So, the only option he has right now is to attend James' practice on March 5. (James just confirmed this to me, Thanks!)
I urge that it is not only my duty that I must let him meet as many pullers as possible,
but I believe it is your duty, too,--especially NC residents, my friends --as fellow armwrestlers.
He comes to the U.S. to meet American pullers or International pullers who living in America.
Not to eat NY style pizza, not to see how beautiful NC is, not to learn English, not to even meet his old friend (me), BUT only to armwrestle with YOU ARMWRESTLERS.
Please give him a chance to experience world class power.
Please help him to become NEXT Yoshinobu Kanai, for doing that, he needs to feel how much more strength he needs to compete at the worlds. He is planning to compete in one of the biggest Armwrestling competitions in the U.S. in two years. (UAL X, maybe?)
I mean if you live in California or Alaska, it is fine, but if you live...let me say South Carolina or Virgina...maybe West Virginia, too?
Please come down and see the artwork on his back (just j/k)
PLEASE come down TO MEET an armwrestler who purchased $1200 of plane ticket, and who has had fights with his boss over this long trip, and who will fly over 16 hours, expecting learning about pro-level armwrestling from YOU.
He will stay with me from March 4 ~ 11 at Chapel Hill, NC.
If you can't make March 5, but any other days during his stay, Feel free to visit my place!
He weighs about 230lb (100kg) but still gaining...and his arm is just huge and getting bigger.
I do not want you to miss this wonderful opportunity AS MUCH AS he doesn't want to miss his opportunity to meet you guys. (Now, he is only asking me about Paul Walther and James Retarides; even at this moment, he is watching youtube videos searching these names...so if you think you better represent US armwrestling, just come ;D ;D)
See you on 5th March, my friends, all armwrestlers.
P.S. If I must say, any pullers under 195lb in eastcoast area wouldn’t be able to pin him at this very moment. We will see...(My thought, not his)
P.S.2 If you remember another Korean puller from last year....
I say this year's visitor is WAY BETTER one.
