“We want more participants in all our competitions,” said Tyukalov.  “In future games we will have more categories, by weight, by age and by men and women.  Next games are the yearly Russian Open Grip Championship in Moscow 5 March. 

“There will be Rolling Thunder, Apollon’s Axle, Wrist Roller, Silver Bullet, Hub and closing different grippers.  Some of the best strongmen of Russia will attend in Apollon Axle, motivated by the high results in Los Angeles,” Tyukalov said.
