One of the coolest things about writing about something (my city in this case) is that while digging for more details you can learn so many things that you didn’t know before!
For example, today I found out that Sochi resident, and member of Russian National Bobsleigh Team Alexei Voevoda was once a professional arm-wrestler and he is the uncontested arm wrestling world champion among professionals for the 2000-2004 period!
Voevoda commented on his personal commitment to Sochi’s bid:
“I live in Sochi and I believe that my native city would host a once-in-a-lifetime Games. The unique climate, well-developed infrastructure and state-of-the-art sports facilities will provide comfort and convenience for athletes and guests. The 2014 Olympics is to leave a priceless legacy not just for Sochi and the Krasnodar Region, but for the whole country, acting as a powerful catalyst of winter sports development. We won silver at the 2006 Torino Olympics and I’m sure that at the 2014 Games in Sochi we’ll be inspired to go for the gold.”

i’m sorry, George, I’m not sure Alexey reads this blog all that often 🙂
George,
Voevoda beat Brzenk, easily. If you knew who that is, you would know that you wouldn’t stand a chance.
George i rip your arms if you mess with me.
voevoda ?
you are the real one or someone else ?, because i don’t think the real alexey voavoda write something like this, i watch him on tv and he is very calm, quiet, humble, i don’t imagine him write this kind of things… or maybe u know george before and u don’t like him
george, i don’t know u, but i’m sorry, alexey is the best armwrestling ever !!
he beats brzenk and bagent, he won the world championalship many times, and who are you ??

Alexey was the undisputed super-heavyweight WORLD champion. U might be champion in South Africa………….. Alexey is WORLD CHAMPION.

anyways, I hate to be the one to tell u this….
but george, u don’t stand a chance against Alexey……….. he isn’t human.
This is Finn Maka from salt lake city.I Train with John Brzenk every Monday and he made a comment about Alexey. Alexey voavoda is the most powerful person he had went up agents.
shut up george
Mr. Flint on Star Trek, sole owner of Planet Holberg 917-G, said to Captain James Tiberius Kirk–“The test of power—you had no chance!”
George, Voevoda is Mr. Flint in this situation. You have NO chance!
