ARMWRESTLING
When you said arm-wrestling a few years ago, almost nobody in Nový Jičín knew what the word meant. It was only the local strongman and pioneer of the sport, Jaromír Bělunek, who brought general awareness and fame to the formerly short-lived entertainment known as "leverage". Since 2013, he has been participating in competitions organized by the Czech Arm-wrestling Association and has successfully represented his town and country abroad - he has won many medals in national, European and world championships. However, Jaromír Bělunek was not satisfied with his triumphs. He founded an arm-wrestling club in Nový Jičín, which is part of the Physical Education Union, and as its chairman and coach in one person, he began to pass on his experience to the next generation of competitors. At the same time, he started to organize a competition called "Novojičínská tlapa", which is held here every year.
Already the first year attracted a lot of amateur competitors. Among them was an inconspicuous, then thirteen-year-old Adam Číp. He was brought to "Tlapa" by his father, who had known Jaromír Běluněk well. Adam turned out to be a great talent, ready to work his way up. He started training with the club and competing for it. Today he can proudly claim several junior national and European championship titles, he is also a world vice-champion.
This year, Monika Slováková, a representative of the fairer sex, a former world champion, multiple Czech champion and the best female wrestler in the history of this sport in the Czech Republic, joined the Nový Jičín club, which is supported by the local town hall.
Other young members of the club, who have fallen under the spell of arm-wrestling, are also striving for their place in the limelight through honest preparation. It seems that the "wrestlers" from Nový Jičín do not have to worry about their future...
