I'm fully confident you'll remove doubt from anyones minds in time John, if there even is doubt out there. Your performance was impressive and I can assure you that you're your own worst critic. However, that trait provides incentive for training and your subsequent success.

hello Petri,
i believe that Taras was much fresher then John at their 1. meet since he beat Ron easily at their first meet.and John had a little problem with Andreas.there are some nicer matches to add to the video site that shows how the things really were over there.there s nothing unfair to compare a guy who has won many world and european titles with anybody.for ex.Alexy came to the level of the greatest armwrestlers in the history even by having less titles than Taras.once again i thank you very much for letting us see some of the matches from zloty even if im a little bit upset of seing the only certain matches without being informed about it.even to read the explanation that you did about Taras not being fresh when he met John,clears to me the way that you looked at this event.i have much respect to the armwrestlers from the both continent.but i guess im too emotional by looking at the American armwrestlers with gradeful eyes because of growing up by their names.i hope you will not take me wrong by my open thoughts.
i also want to mention some ppl without giving their names.i see some ppl that has nothing in armwrestling by themselves but act like an author and tell to the best ones what to do or what not to do including myself.i only suggest these ppl to show their knowledge by having better results for themselves.if a person doesnt know how to better himself then let him be quite to the ppl who are much above them.
John,there are times that you lost to certain guys at your first tries.like Remeir from Canada,and many times you have mentioned that to grip up with new guys is always a disadvantage for you.because you are not only a strong man.you brought your name to the top of the world forever in armwrestling,its because of your intelligence,experience,capability and the strength.
so what im trying to say s that first time when you pulled against Taras you tried to hook him and soon you found out that it wasnt the way to use against him and you went to strap and beat him easily.dont be too hard on yourself.just watch the video once again and you will see that im right.about your hand i totally agree with you for it seemed a little weaker compare to your arm.
Charlie,im sorry my friend but if your level of armwrestling was awarded with many of the titles at the world level then you would understand why John feels the way as Californian governer does:).
Christopher,i guess the only difference between our opinions s 10 pounds:)

i also wanna add that Andreas s a great armwrestler but i really believe that it happened because of your hand's bad condition.doesnt your first match with Taras prove you anything?im totally sure that with your hand condition on that day there would be more ppl that could upset you!!
testosteron s the thing that makes the difference between us and women.and being at your twenties and with additional testosteron by needles gives someone more stamina and aggressiveness esspecially if you have to pull extra matches in overall after your weight class.some of you may not like my digging about this matter but i dont care.its already enough unfairness,and it will be too much to not to mention of unfair disadvantages.ok,i accept,im a fan of John Brzenk and i cant handle being quite and not mentioning the truth.its my last post at this matter as long as no body makes me answer about anything more.

Hi Engin! Thank you for your reply. You don’t know me so well, so let me explain how I feel about armwrestling my self.
For me the best armwrestler have been always John Brzenk and still is. I don’t have anything against any puller, American, Russian or where ever they come from.
Those matches I been uploaded are somehow my favour because I believe many people like to see hard matches, not those easy win matches that end in second. Like that match in overall John VS Taras it was good one and really I think is show John’s greatness even better than in the match they meet earlier in -95 kg
My opinion is that this sport needs more of those hard long lasting matches instead of those fast ones. Long matches are more entertainment and that’s what media need’s
Zloty Tur was the best tournament I’ve seen so far. Tournament like this will help this sport to grow and getting better known. More like this!
I will upload some more videos from tournament later on today.

Petri,sorry if i sounded offensive my friend.i probably misunderstood your purpose.i felt like you wanted to make the Dream Team look bad by showing the matches that generally they didnt do well.i only expected it to be more objective.im sure now that it wasnt your purpose.once again im sorry for misunderstanding you.
by the way do you have my left hand final matches against the Belarussian in Poland?

That was not in my mind when I uploads those matches. The dream team coming to that tournament was best what happened to this sport for long time. New videos updated first match with John and Taras, -95kg semifinal and +95 kg semifinal. That your match was that in European earlier this year or 2001 Worlds? I have a lot videos from both tournament, but I can`t remember. I must check that later. Everything I do I do because I love this sport |

I already understand it perfectly, Engin. I said that I want John to hunt for Alexey if he really wants to and not to please others. I hope I'm not alone with this opinion. |

by the way do you have my left hand final matches against the Belarussian in Poland? Hi Engin! I found that match you ask for. You find it from my site at videos, and there on the top of videos from European Championship Poland. Unfortunately that official camera-staff was on our way almost all the time.  |

Engin
You are right there is no way they should have called a match on that left handed one you have on Pro arm.

Guy,thx a lot for your support.if you could see more clear(because of another cameraman),you could also see that my arm wasnt low as it seems.he wasnt holding me at all.i had total hand control.he scrachted out side of my thumb so badly by trying to get off my hand.i just tried him to not slip apart.in the strap i knew i would beat him.i had my rotation and flexor in control.it would take time but i would win.thx for support.
