Jan germanus
johan lindolm
bill frank
the russian bear last years winner
edvard another stupid strong russian
-100 kg 2002 world champion from gergiaa
Ion from romaina who shocked the zloty tur
of course me ha ;D then there was a guy from kasackistan he was really strong i never seen him before but wow very good then there was about 10 other men who could beat you if you had a battle or 2.
jan germanus won the left without really 2 many probs,but the russian bear was a level above anybody on the right.
Voevda was again a class above most he had a bit of trouble from 1 of his russian men again id never seen iam sure they came in on the major shipping lane in durban, ;)he looked like a preastroic man thats all i can say,on the right alexey had a good match with the huge ukraine pushkin i think his name is but nobody else troubed him,
semerenko was a lucky winner just beating a guy from kasackistan on left while on the right the same guy who beat veoveda in ottawa last year gave semerenko a huge match right handed.
the 90kg russian super kid won easily both juniors and senior it was playtime no one even came close he beat a fin in the final then slovkia 3and 4
85kg golamov the guy who trains with zevtan won the right arm and the stupid strong belarus who beat mike selaris last year won left arm he was far to strong for any human being at that weight.with my mate the natural taking 2nd 3rd went to solvakia.
80kg rustam was the man no one could touch this machine.
75kg the bulgarian master won right handed and a russian on the left.
70kg again the russians dominated these disaplines left and right but theres a new kid on the block from slovakia looked extremly imppresive,
65kg right hand went to the guy who won zloty he beat last years world champion from finland
60kg ivan potello won right not sure of left

see i told you,the Belarussian guy that won 85kg easy was in my class only 4 months ago.i pulled him in 75kg even with his 20inches arms.his teammates told me he was 86kg when he pulled me.no Mighty,he is not too strong for even a 75kg guy without ref's help.

the Ukranian guy is the same guy who troubled Alexy in Poland europeans also.his name s Pushkar.i cant believe that i 100kg Ionescu flashed Germanus at their match,he even loses to Gashevski everytime they pull.do you know the names of winners in 70kg,and also 75kg lefty?

[enginterzi]

[enginterzi]

Thank you Engin it is good to be home. Here is some detail just ask me what else you want to know and I will try to answer it. I will also send you the complete listing of those at 75 KG if you like.
As Paul put it, (except for your absence Mr. Terzi), this event was larger and tougher than last year or any I have been to, these classes were stacked and deadly.

70 KG There were 16 total in the right class

Iskandarov Kazimir from Russia took the gold (he dropped from 75 KG last year where he took second to Cvetan)

Malkhaz Khvedelidze from Georgia took second, ( he put me out of this event)

Nikolay Grigoryev from Russia took third (he is the current 70 KG EAF champion for those that did not know)

Lubomir Jagnesak from Slovokia took fourth

Craig Sanders from the UK I believe took 5th (Craig looked no less than 50% better than he did in Vegas he was also down from 75KG last year, by his own admission he had a couple of mental lapses that cost him a higher placing)

I should have taken 6th but that depends on how the losers bracket got laid out, I went out just before Craig and that was the last match prior to the finals. I was a full kilo light at weigh ins despite eating all I wanted up to, including breakfast on the day of weigh ins, admittedly I am a bit too small at this point for 70 KG on the world level.

[enginterzi]

ok brother,tell me about the matches.how were the matches?tough ones easy ones interesting ones.who took 2. to gashevski?was it hard or easy?who beat you?kazimir iskenderov was in my class at the german europeans and took 4 lefty and i guess 10. or 11. righty.very quick guy hu?Who took 2. to babaev and 2.in 85kg righty?

[enginterzi]

i guess Kazimir also took 1. place at the Canada worlds with lefty,what place was he with left?he was the only one who stopped me at german europeans last years.he is too fast for me to realise his move but he wasnt strong enough.

[enginterzi]

thanks a lot for the list Simon.surely it was the weakest 75kg class ever saw!!!other than pisarkov and gashevski every other was very far away for gold neither for silver.a French takes 3. place,and i know him well.you certainly has chance to take 3. if you would have competed in 75kg.

[Petri Kujala]

Hi Simon! What about -70 left who win that class and do you remember who was third at +110 right

[enginterzi]
