He is Gregory Yeo, bro. He is one of the pillars of the sport here in South East Asia spearheading it's influence. He has been with us organizing this event!
Oceania winners will also compete against the Asian and European winners at the EvW qualification :) Im surprised that more of the big names from SEA didnt compete at the qualifier
The announcement was made on short notice, unfortunately, and there was supposed to be another qualifier held by Singapore, but WAF intervened and banned us from hosting as some of us competed at IFA. Engin is sad and upset that it happened, but it is what it is. Politics suck.
@@EastsideArmWrestling Ah I see that sux. Yeah I'm competing at the Oceania event, short notice alright but stillnshould be a great event. Some great pullers will be there
I agree with what you said at the end. Mike Ford is the only non Filipino guy that I know of that has joined this Asian qualifiers. Maybe in the future, this EVW qualifier could be prepared bigger or comparable to the last Vier tournament or even IFA worlds. With your experience organizing SG top 8, maybe you can host it next. :)
Unfortunately due to sanctions by WAF, I am unable to host EvW because I competed at IFA (I presume other countries that have IFA associations might face similar restrictions). Absolutely hate politics, they kill the sport.
Physically - for sure, in fact, even the majority of Russia is part of the Asian continent. What I’m referring to in this video is East Asians, which is what people typically think of when you say “Asian”
@@nuclearnadal8850 Japan has I think 5 Federations, in Japan they can compete in any competition no problem, but only the waf athletes can compete in waf competitions outside of Japan
What's the name of the man hosting this channel? Comes across as a great person. Very knowledgeable about arm wrestling too
Hey Timmy, I believe they call him skinny-fat Asian kid, though sometimes it gets shortened to “Greg” for whatever reason 🤷♂️
@@EastsideArmWrestling lol that's funny 😄

@@Lazyazhook for sure! Can’t wait to see how the Oceanic one turns out!
Thank you very much for covering our event bro! We really appreciate it! Wish you were here! Also bro Greg, left arm winners ARE guaranteed a spot!
Wow! Is that true? Left arm guys will a spot too? That’s awesome man!
Oh lefties are also guaranteed a spot, did Engin change his mind?

Great video greg, thanks for helping us know those athletes
🙏 a pleasure my friend, hopefully in the future we can get more of our top Asian guys to test our level against west guys
Ako lang ba pilipino dito?
Haha, still some more I believe
Awesome
Looking forward to seeing them at the event!
Where are Japan,Korea and China pullers?
Sadly a lot of us in Asia are banned because we competed at IFA or our country are affiliated with IFA.
@@EastsideArmWrestling thanks for answer,Greg. Aren't Japan in WAF?
