Zuzana Svobodová -55kg, CZECH REPUBLIK started with armwrestling 10 years ago, only 11 years old.

How did you get into the sport?

Why did you start with armwrestling?

My father brought me to this kind of sport as he was the former president of Czech Association of Armwrestling. He used to take me to every tournament and it was more than obvious that I would start with armwrestling as well. I've been attending gymnastic and athletic club since I was really young and my opinion is that Armwrestling is the best sport in the world.

Tell us about armwrestling in the CZECH REPUCLIK, is the sport growing?

Armwrestling in the Czech Republic has developed really fast in right way forward even if it has been just 20 years since it was established. Now we've got really good both senior and junior armwrestlers. Unfortunately this kind of sport hasn't got as much fans as there are in other countries but our generation's doing its best to find new armwrestlers.

Do you have many ladies who armwrestle?

There are about 500 active armwrestlers in Czech Republic from which about one third are girls.

Do you have armwrestling-camps in the CZECH REPUBCIK?

Yes, we try to take care of children so that's why we hold big summer training camps every year, where we try to interest as many people as possible in armwrestling, especially children.

How often do you train armwrestling? What is your favourite exrcise?

Regarding exercise, I prefer exercising alone especially crank running, bent arm hanging and exercising with aerobic gum tools, sometimes dumbell-exercices, benchpress etc. In spite of importance of power exercising I prefer gymnastic exercising but the most important and also my favourite-one is group training on the armwrestling table, which we use to hold every week.

Do you have any dreammatch, somebody you really want to armwrestle against?

Tournament of my dreams? I'm not sure really, but my favourite armwrestler is Irina Makeeva so most probably with her.

THANK YOU Zuzana and good luck at World Challenge!
