Fia Reisek, 60kg has been armwrestling for 20 years.
She won the bronze medal 2010 in the Over All Left
hand at the World Challenge 2012 and she is one of nine
competitors that will fight together in World Challenge
to win the titel: The best ARMWRESTLER in the world,
no matter what weight class, the 8th of March in
Skellefteå.

- How did you get into the sport?

I started when I was seven years old just for fun. A lot of kids were joying 
their parents to the practise, and we had a great time together.

In the beginning, the practise where located in our barn, it our village
Ensamheten (The Solitude: http://www.ensamheten.se/)

- How many world champion medals do you have?

I have attended 7 World Championships, and I think THAT I´ve got five or
six medals from the Worlds. One is a gold medal  in left arm. 


- Do you have any special goals with armwrestling?

I hope that I don´t get bad injured badly,  so that I can continue with the
sport for as long as I want to. I want  to be able to compete  in the masters,
grandmasters and senior grand masters classes. We don´t have those
categories for women yet, but that is my goal.

- Do you have any dream matches?

I think I have had the honor to armwrestle against the best already.
But in my dreams  I wish that I wouldn't have lost those matches.


- Any goal for World Challenge 2012?

I hope that  it will be a great competition with a lot of interesting matches!

- Who do you think will win the competition (World Challenge)?

 I would like to see a Swedish girl win.



- What is your favourite exersice?

 Armwrestling on the table.



 

- Is there any changes that you want to see in the sport?

Oh, this is a big question, it is much easier when I am on a competition to
answer, and to know what I would like to change. But it would be nice if
the competitor had a time-schedule to follow. Sometimes it´s hard to
know if you have the time to go to the restroom before it´s your turn to
pull.  Sometimes you have waited to go, and after some time you really
HAVE to go, so you hurry up to go to the restroom, and then it turns out
that you could have gone a 100 times. Does that make sense?

 


 

Thank you Fia and good luck!
