He started armwresling by accident. This sport caught his attention during the championships organized in 2001 in Italy.

I have contacted the federation chairman Claudio Rizze and I have begun my professional career – recalls Davide Cappa, Italian armwrestler, who's fights we were able to watch during the Zloty Tur 2015.

Davide Cappa took 3rd place in the SENIOR MEN RIGHT +95KG category, taking the podium next to Trubin and Pushkar. This is quite a feat, especially seeing that the Italian pays no special attention to training.

I don't go to a gym, I train when I work – he says. I'm a stonemason, i lift lots of weight in my work.

I sometimes work out at the table with some friends, but I don't have much time for that because of work.

He speaks shortly of Zloty Tur: - The fights were very high-level, and I just had a lot of fun. Since my last start at the Nemiroffs', I improved my technique a little and so I could get better scores.

His hardest fight was with ... Trubin.

I couldn't take my ideal position and I was tired from previous fights – says Cappa.

The Italian has met international champions before, but he lacked experience back then. Now he's waiting for his chance. He will work hard this year.

I'll see what I can improve – he says.

We are all waiting for Cappa's next fights!
