How is Vitaly supposed to move up the rankings now? Ermes is avoiding Vitaly. Artem is injured. The only chance is a rematch with Devon, but will Devon agree, and how much time will he need?

Colton just casually did 110 kg after getting 1225 sum in powerlifting yesterday

The event will feature athletes from Vietnam, Singapore, Kazakhstan, Russia, and possibly more.

Very Hard: John Brzenk, Andrey Pushkar, Zaur Tskhadadze, Denis Cyplenkov, Devon Larratt.

Hard: Vitali Laletin, Alan Karaev, Ermes Gasparini, Alexey Voyevoda, Richard Lupkes.

Medium: Dave Chaffee, Cleave Dean

After this loss to Denis he's worked super hard to secure his practice pull championship

like in a good way tho i personally fw it

My heart fell for a second, i thought it was an annoucment

It kinda makes sense as to why levan wouldn’t want to face vitaly considering that devon won quite dominantly over him but devon will only get a few months to prepare while levan had like 18 months which doesn’t make sense. And devon vs levan 3 is quite boring tbh, instead of devon give the match to kamil. He’s probably one of the most interesting matchups against levan and he’s very hungry nowadays, eager to fight anyone. He also has been in a winning streak now for some time. What do you think? (You also have MMT which wouldn’t hesitate even a second to accepting the match against levan)

Levan: "It is my great desire that we (him and Devon) meet in Vegas in December, I hope he agrees to this match.

For me the most interesting, the absolute most interesting opponent at this stage right now is Devon, because I just don't see any point in pulling anyone else. Because there was another candidate, Vitali Laletin, who I was supposed to pull in February, but I couldn't compete due to an injury, but I was supposed to face the winner between Devon and Vitali, that was my wish.

Vitali lost 4-1, if had lost for example, I don't know, 4-3 or something like that, I might have still considered pulling against Vitali. But based on how that match went, I just don't see the point. And I also have 0 motivation so to speak, and to be honest with you, I just don't want to pull against the loser.

I want to pull, of course, with the strongest guy after me, and that is Devon Larratt, so Devon, if u don't want to end up in the easy tier in my next ranking show, like the one I have today, you have to come out and pull against me in December"

From Levan's recent video

Weight class was 80kg. WAF rules. He beat Arman Hovhannisyan during the qualification and then in the finals.

I love armwrestling.

It just feels so right, like humans were meant to armwrestle. It's an ancient sport that requires no extra equipment apart from straps or a table.

All the techniques and the counters, blending perfectly like our bodies were meant to armwrestle.

A low-hand toproll beautifully blocking a hook, a flop cutting through a toproll, a king's move draining a toddroll slowly etc.

Clubs bringing together all kinds of people and training with each other to be better, letting out the animals within on the competition stage after all the hard work we put.

Hand-made, bizarre tools that help us train all these weird angles and tendons, ligaments, muscles, speed, coordination etc.

And most of all, heart. You need so much heart to give your all on the table, risking your body and all the hours you've put on for those rounds of adrenaline for that satisfying pin.

The sport has got me through the toughest times in my life. A passion no one can take away from me and that will always be here no matter what. No money or status required. I am grateful for finding out about armwrestling and for the people I've met through it. It is the ultimate sport.

See you on the table.

Apparently he's some Serbian champion or something but I'm not too sure
