The Bally Total Fitness Bronxboro Arm Wrestling Championships consisted of both right and left handed, pro and amateur categories, for men and women. There were first, second and third place awards in each weight class plus, the day's strongest male and female MVP's were crowned Bronx Strongest Arms and received $100 cash prizes. Also, there was a team competition broken down by Borough, State, and Country with the team winner being determined through a point tally. There are no residency requirements to compete in these competitions.
The proud event sponsors were Bally's Fitness, JMH Development, Captains of Crush® Grippers, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr., and the Bronx Tourism Council. More than 100 athletes were expected to participate including last year's Bronxboro defending champions. Among those expected to take part in the event were current Empire State Champion Mirline Berrouet from So. Ozone Park, NY. Another champion expected to compete was current New York City's "King of Arms" Giorgi Gelashvili from Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn who was unbeaten last year; defeating some of the best arm wrestlers in the world. Mike and Jason Hall from Pelham Bay, Bronx, the hometown champion brothers, were also expected to compete. The Bronx championships are part of the multi-event NY Golden Arm Series where up to seven events are held in each of the five NYC Boroughs as well as Long Island, and culminate in the Empire State Finale to be held on Nov. 18 at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in NYC.
