2013 Pattaya International Arm Wrestling Competition

Arthur Dorohoff

Arthur Dorohoff From Latvia wins 2nd year in a row in 2 weight classes to prove he is truly one of the best pullers competing in South East Asia . With expert technique , explosive power and lightning speed Arthur annihilated every competitor in Saturdays comp.
This year was a truly International comp with Pro Pullers from Latvia such as Martins Lorencis , Sergey Kardash from Russia , Roman from Russia , Nizar Yusof from Malaysia , Lee Thiam Siew from Malaysia and the best pullers from Thailand
Book Sutiwat , Ronnachai and Witthaya Meemui and many others .
This years event was run to World Arm wrestling Federation Standards due to WAF certified referee Zil Fadli from Malaysia calling the shots . This has brought the standard of arm wrestling contests in Thailand to international standard and can only attract good pullers from around the world if future contests are run this way.
Its also a credit to the organisers of this event Royal Garden Plaza  Pattaya , Thailand Armwrestling and Bombam Nopphawan who did a superb job  creating a very smooth running event that was interesting , colourful , exciting and yet had a very Thai flavor with Muay Thai demonstrations and male model shows.
Cant wait till next years event , awesome job by every contestant and event crew.
