Great report and amazing results. Grip is evolving, Russians are pushing the limits.

Teemu, Alexei was announced as the representative of Finland. More precisely, Finland and Russia. He now lives in Finland.

The RT is a notoriously difficult lift to judge as it is easy to cheat if the judge is not experienced. The standard 'cheat' is of course to place the hand off centre in order to increase friction. This competition, by the look of it, is not any worse/better in this regard (competitors allowed to lift with the hand clearly off centre) than RT competitions held in the US or Europe.

I must say that these RT/axle grip competitions you guys are running in Russia makes everyone elses grip competitions look somewhat primitive. Big crowd, hot babes assisting and professionally run in general!
