Okay, I have pulled with two of the three so I will weigh in  Judging by what I saw at SEC in terms of her set up, form and control on the table, I would agree that Cheyenne might be a step above Holly and Taylor right now (though I did not get a chance to grip up with her). She seemed very polished at the table. But I have to say that Taylor has as much raw ability as anyone I have EVER trained with. With the proper work ethic she will be a world champion before she is old enough to drive. We have another lightweight woman named Angie that trains with us that came into the sport with unbelievable strength and enthusiasm for this sport. I believe she will be one to watch for in the near future as well. I would also like to say that seeing young pullers like Cheyenne, Taylor and Bryce Dowdy shows a lot of promise for the future of womens armwrestling here in the states. |

There really is some great young female talent. Cheyenne's table ability is incredible when you take her age into account and the fact that women do not get nearly the amount of tournament time as men do.
It's a shame that womens' participation has fallen off so hard. Cheyenne's biggest challenge will be staying interested in the sport if there is nobody that can challenge her. It would be great to get these young ladies to Sweden for a week to train with those young ladies. Sweden really has something special going on right now with womens' armwrestling and I'm sure those ladies could share insight and perspective that our young ladies won't get from pulling against guys.

I know Holly was getting strong and went to 2 tournaments in a row where there wasn't anybody at the first one for her to pull and the 2nd one had just 1 person who was a young kid. I wonder why we don't have a lot of female talent like Sweden. I would like to see Holly pull Cheyenne.

YSo, I am back training again and had the pleasure to work with Holly last week. By the end of practice she was really putting some elements together and she felt more polished. Give us a few months of intensity with Holly she is going to to be incredible........

I wonder why we don't have a lot of female talent like Sweden. I would like to see Holly pull Cheyenne. I believe the US has unlimited female talent. What US women have not done is to work among themselves to build up Womens' armwrestling. The Swedish women have been working insanely hard for a long time to build up women in the sport. I'm sorry to say it, but US women generally show up to events and expect others to do the same. That's a luxury women cannot count on right now. I see no female-driven effort to put on ladies events or build womens' teams the way the Swedes have done. If not for Mark Zalepa in Canada there would be no concerted effort at all in North America. The women need to own this if they want a future in armwrestling. |

Both of Ryan Barnett's oldest daughters, my nieces are incredibly strong. They both can beat every guy at their school. The oldest will only be 12 this Saturday. Watch out for them in the near future.
