Hi Guys,
re South Africa Engin what dya wanna know mate
Overall Champ I really enjoyed the event apart from double fouling out on the right arm which was UNBELIEVABLY FRUSTRATING !!! I am not gonna comment any further on that or I will get myself in trouble !!!
Venue was too small really, but it was the first time South Africa had ever held a Worlds and they have to experience it and learn.
The South African people and their team were EXCELLENT !!!
The friendliest, nicest, most courteous bunch you could wish to meet and they really seemed to try their very best to be accomodating throughout.
The Food and Drink, scenary etc. in South Africa is Beuatiful and you can do things there you simply can't do in many other places on earth. The Lads and I went diving with Great White Sharks and THAT WAS AMAZING !!!
;D ;D ;D
One of the best experiences I have EVER had in my life and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I was very proud of the Team in general even though we had a few rough decisions with the men in stripes who I feel have had better weeks, again no further comment.
I felt Andy Wise was MAGNIFICENT as always and shines with class and potential. Craig Sanders had a very dissappointing day fouls, clearly missed go's !!! I felt for him as he is a World Class Armwrestler.
Overall the level in some classes was very very competative indeed less so in others but Congratulations to all of the new World Champions WELL DONE GUYS n GALS !!!
The 75kg class would have had greater sparkle if you had been in the mix with Tsvetan mate. I thought Kruglov looked powerful at 80kg just not too fast though.
Ion Oncescu of Romania IS the brightest new talent that I have seen in years and WILL become a force to be reconned with I believe.
Stoyan Golemeyev from Bulgaria did vry well is a lovely lad and a talented puller so it was nice to see him get a deserved win although I would have loved the chance to pull him and see if I couldn't have slowed him down a little along the way ha ha WELL DONE STOYAN !!!
Oleg the 100kg Russian is a very powerful puller right now and looked very dominant and while we are talking about dominant Artem Klimenko is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING and made some class pullers in the 90kg class look very ordinary. I feel few -90kg pullers on earth would have much to offer that young man before he quietly, confidently handed them their ass back !!!
Anything else mi Angry Buddy ask away mate !!!
ps. are you gonna get involved in the PAL event any time soon mate ? are you fit or still wrecked ?!!!
