There are all sorts of personalities in sports, especially arm wrestling. Each has their place and advantages and I can respect all of them, with the one exception of those who whine about a loss or disrespect people off the table. Both Denis and Richard are incredibly intense on the table, but couldn't be more respectful and polite, from what I can tell. I wish I could have met either of them in person, but I'll make due with all the interviews I can watch on KZread. With someone like Denis, even when he says things like Chaffee being weak at the time, you don't take it as an insult, he's just being factual as he sees it and would refer to himself in the same way if that's what he thought. In any case, thank you for posting this. It was enjoyable to watch!

Nice Video, such as you expect Denis Tsyplenkov to be when you talk to him and hear his own words. What a man, just imagine a US Athlete in Russia, far away from home, the language something you don't understand and having to compete with those guys. Nice interview, cool to see his reaction to some of the questions and cool to have the subtitles on it so at least you could follow most of it. No doubt, a gentle Giant! Let him be 64 and then we'll look back at his days now and then, in about 20 years from now. Very cool Video. Spasiba! 👍🏻💪🏻

Dennis is a competitor who exemplifies what it's like to be at the top of your game competitively but also to be the most kind and polite and respectful sportsman.... No matter where you are from on this Earth his achievements clearly are recognized and respected by people from all walks of life as well as fans & competitors alike..... Even though I can't read or speak Russian I'm always interested in Dennis's opinion on things I wish him all the best and of course hope and pray to see his return to what I know he loves to do of course in top form and back at the top of his game

I have tremendous respect for both Denis and Richard. Superb athletes and very humble people.

The funny thing is that Brzenk said before this match, between Lupkes and Denis, "Never try to hook someone with the triceps of Richard Lupkes. I always try to attack his hand." It's even in that video "Brzenk - Armwrestling tips." So Brzenk was well aware of the trap that Denis fell into and even warned against it years earlier online in his Q & A column "Ask John."
