RUSSIAN SUPPORT FOR WORLD TITLE DEFENSE


Hello again,

It's been a crazy week for media events, what with several newspaper articles & a local BBC interview, but I wanted to show you a photo I had taken during the Euro's. This is a guy called Vladimir Sushchak who is a Russian strongman & champion whom I met in Bendigo last year during the World Championships; Vladimir doesn't speak much English but congratulated me on my World titles with the words 'you did good, English' and a hearty slap on the back that nearly broke ribs! I was pleased to meet him again in Switzerland & look forward to seeing my new friend when I defend my World titles in Italy this October; the photo shows him congratulating me after I announced that I would not be retiring from the sport just yet!!
