A prize pool of $113,000 USD. Is the Moscow A1 event the highest payout for a tournament in recent times/ever? With prize money over $1,000 going to whomever gets 8th place, it's obviously a big deal. So, some questions:
1. Which US pullers will make the trip?
2. Is the event tested for PEDs?
3. Who are your favorites for the Absolute LH and RH classes?
4. Will it be streamed live? If so, a link?

If Oleg Zhokh is competing, look for him to dominate his weight class for LH and possibly overalls too.

Have heard Brzenk (220) Todd H (198) and Chaffee (221+) in those classes and heard all 3 will also compete in the absolute classes. 2. Idk but I doubt it 3. Cyplenkov is probably the favorite both arms, but lots of people (most North Americans) think Chaffee can beat him now RH. Pushkar is always a threat too. If the big boys get in some wars a lighter guy could win it, too, but there are probably the favorites. 4. Idk, good question! |

Myself, Brzenk and Hutchings are currently waiting for VISA approval. We are all planning on going. Dave C. is also working on the VISA process.
IMO Dave and Brzenk will beat Denis but not sure about them beating Pushkar. Styles make wars.

Yes I am. Actually I am very honored that they invited me and are paying all my expenses for the whole trip. I am pulling in the standing disabled class. There is NO weight limit for this class, just Open. Should be interesting.

Pushkar is going to hit and bounce off Dave's arm, watch it.

The sad reality is Dave and a few others have what it takes to beat Europe's elite in a one on one format. Unfortunately they can't compete with all of them. Guys will wear out the Americans meanwhile they'll lay down to Denis and fix the brackets. We have seen it in the past and will see it again.

That would never happen at a major tournament. How dare you type this. [/Sarcasm]. Hopefully Grigaitis is there and goes after Denis again. |
