Unfortunately there are no armwrestling stars. The sports not known in the main stream. Even Devon Larratt is not considered famous. Hopefully this changes soon
@DemocratsReadMyBio devon is earning around 250 to 500k a year just from armwrestling videos. All of larry wheels most viewed videos are armwrestling ones. Also engin must be getting alot of pay per view sales to be able to afford to pay for 20 to 30 athletes flights and accommodation every couple months
@@viktore69 I agree. It'd be one thing if Riekerd had bad technique and was still learning, but he already moves great on the table! Putting him on a bigger stage won't expose him to injury more than pulling locally. Giving him the exposure (and money) he deserves at the world level could not be a bad thing imo. It would also put Australia and South Africa on the map in a big way, though Lachy and Bowen are fantastic ambassadors obviously.
@user-vr3mr5eu7y Not irakli at first. There is a big list like schoolboy, yordan, sandris, bacho, rino and then he should go for the upper level/next tier like irakli,sasho, David dadikyan,prudnyk, todzilla type tough guys but there is a long way to go. He should start from schoolboy.
WOWWW!!!!!! I did call it at the beginning though when you posted that first practice session with him. Dude is a different level beast. Just like another Khaled, the difference being this kid is younger, loves AW, and has a much better disposition for the sport. His progression occurred faster than I even thought possible. Amazing.
As they said the other day on Ray's PC with Don, who will be the next star to come through - Oz looks like they have one, and he's 15-20yrs away from his absolute prime. Amazing 💪🏼
Seeing Riekerd be this good with only 1-2 years in the sport puts more credibility behind Khaled in a way, as far as him being that good as an untrained arm wrestler. I know people had doubts about that because of how strong he was, but it turns out that genetic gifts are an amazing thing! I hope Riekerd continues in the sport and has a bright and long future career. Arm wrestling needs him!
It also shows that what I’ve always said is true. The sample size of athletes in the sport is far too small to really know how good guys are. If the sport paid athletes big money and became mainstream, you would see guys appear that you never dreamed possible. Athletes are training for sports that will pay them tens of millions. They aren’t arm wrestling. This is a completely untapped, unknown sport.
It was obvious this dude was special from the first time he pulled you and Lachlan. Transitioning from inside to outside seamlessly, even kings moving Lachlan from a hook lol. Stupid
Please interview Rickard I wanna know what he's been doing for the last 6 months who's style or technical advice is he following cause he fast tracked getting good know dout genetics but and what please
@@lachlanadair1989 Man it's fine to lose to this guy, he is definitely something special, Ryan does get pinned by him as well. Just help him out, he has a bright future for someone whom haven't done it for that long.
@@TLTRambo my plan exactly. We’ll be working together, I’m 105kg… not a super. I know my days are numbered as overall no.1. 105kg class however, is mine for a long time
@lachlanadair1989 I know internet idiots can get annoying but it's a gift to have someone that young with so much potential close to you so you can guide him. He very well be the next John brzenk of Australia 🇦🇺.
Riekered just pulled and won the tournament.....Lachlan had had a couple pulls. Let's just say....Riekwred was not pinned by anyone today at any stage.
this is how it's gonna be folks. When new sports raises from underground, new monsters will join the party and most old ones will slowly fall behind no matter what they do
Wrong.....this is....beat up Riekerwd after winning the entire tournament and Lachy with a couple pulls under his belt. Let's just say Riekered wasn't pinned by anyone all day
@@PMUPapaTrickshotBornman pulled in the tourney and won it, Lachlan is fresh here Riekhard is a freak, clearly he beats Lachlan when both are fresh, this is shocking, he's the strongest guy in Oz now.. .
Well gues you will go from #2 to #3 (Not ment disrespectfull, more as rare find of who might be next big thing and make australia serious contender in few years
Sorry to be pedantic, but note that his name is pronounced REE-KURT, not RYE-CARD. Riekerd probably doesn't care, but it's only fair to pronouce the dude's name right. He's going places! What an awesome tournament though! I have watched it three times. Well done to the organisers and the contestants.
@@ryanbluebowen Ryan, I speak Afrikaans fluently mate. Matt pronounces it properly as Reekert or Ree-kurt. As I said, Riekerd is probably not fussed about it so he doesn't correct people but his name is not pronounced RYCARD any more than your name is pronounced RAY-ANNE.
iirc, Rino turns 20 in August. It's also worth mentioning, Daniyar Romanv of Kazakhstan placed ahead of Rino, and beat him on fouls, at the last waf worlds seniors 110kg; and he's a year younger.
@efi4100 @efi4100 we can nitpick further. Daniyar also competed in juniors a few days prior, Rino only competed seniors. Daniyar was in a 55 second war in straps with Sandris the very match before Rino and Alizhan. Rino vs Alizhan was a 60 second war in straps, restart, then 9 more seconds to get the win. Rino vs Daniyar was a semi final match, which takes place multiple hours after the main draw tournament. Anyways, I'm not saying one is better than the other, but before we can call one the undisputed u21 champ, this needs to be settled.
@@mfrese lol there is nothing to settle,Rino pulled 100 matches in few years beating top pullers,Daniyar had 1 tournament in waf in 12months time.When he starts competing regularly we'll talk
UA-cam algorithm boosting comment 💪 ... youtube.com/@AWEunderground AWE Grand Prix edit should be on this channel soon. give him all the healing supplements, if he isn't already. rebuild and don't blow out that elbow too far, all things u shoulda known when u were younger. just incredible! guess he's been training like a madman 😲😁
Would Riekard be competing at 115kg or is he a super heavy? He looks like a super heavy is his natural size, even if it’s around the 125 range. If that’s the case, there’s no “Rino” match. And no one should want to see it. It’s two distinctly different weight classes. Do a little thinking fellas. If Riekard is 115, I’ll stand corrected and I would be STUNNED.
Dont do the same misstake people and hype him in the same way like bacho 😂 let him take it step by step. Dont trow him to the big boys immidietly, you saw what happend with bacho when people said bacho would beat devon. 😅 He lost to rino. So be careful before he prove it on the big stage.
Even beat him after he did strap to his full advantage with buckle on his hand and he had his elbow 5 inches off pad while strapping lol cheated and still couldn't beat him, kid is good!!!!!!

Wow. What a strong 💪 arm. New champ looks like he could hold on to that belt for a bit

Rino may be a bit much for him at the moment, but i reckon next year he could post a threat to Rino.
It's much too soon to put him up against a guy like Rino right now. In the future sure. But Riekerd is still very new and has a lot more to learn.
If he can build a solid toproll to go along with that inside gamw he's gonna be nastyyy
