$3,000
#3. Krister Johnson Sweden

The picture above is of course that of
John Brzenk. John also won the gold in the 100 kg left hand division. He did
not compete in the regular right hand division electing to save his arm for the
supermatch. It may be confusing to some because they may have noticed that the
winner of the WAF tournament in Japan in the Masters Division (over 50 year of age) was
won in both the left and right handed divisions by John Brzenk Sr. This is John's
dad. To further confuse matters John Brzenk Sr's other son Bill Brzenk has won first
place in WAF championships in prior years. Then of course you have Renee and Lisa
Brzenk (wives of John Jr. and Bill) who have been money winners in the 1998 Forsa Tropical
International Armwrestling Championship in Curacao. See the results at: http://www.armwrestling.com/4sa.html
All in all the premier family in armwrestling.
