The championship and regional championship in arm-wrestling, arm-raising and mass wrestling were held in Chita, the press service of the government of the Trans-Baikal Territory reported on May 7.
The competition is dedicated to the 79th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
More than 120 athletes from Chita, Shilka, Atamanovka and Chara arrived in the regional capital.
In arm wrestling competitions, Dmitry Aslamov became the absolute champion among men, and Ekaterina Kirillova among women.
Galina Vorontsova won in the “Youngest participant” category. And the most technical athlete was Semyon Chegrinets.

In the arm-raising competition, Valery Goryunov won in the “Hub” nomination, Artyom Zykov won in the “Excalibur” nomination, and Andrey Litunchin won in the “Russian Roulette” nomination.
Let us remember that mass wrestling is the national sport of Yakutia, derived from the traditional game of tug-of-war. “Mas” in translation from Yakut means “tree, stick”, “wrestling” – from English – “fighting”.
Participants in mass wrestling competitions sit facing each other, place their feet on the board that divides the competition area and pull a wooden stick (mas), trying to keep it parallel to the board.
Arm wrestling is a type of arm wrestling between two participants. During the match, the hands of the competitors’ namesakes are placed on a hard, flat surface (usually a table) and the palms are brought together. The task of a competitive armwrestler is to press the opponent’s hand to the surface.
Arm-lifting (from the English arm-lifting – hand lifting) is a strength sport that includes several disciplines for grip strength: “Rolling Thunder”, “Apollon’s Axle”, “Silver Bullet”, “Hub”, “Saxon Bar” and “Excalibur.” “.
