The Tyson slaps: the farmer who was champion of an unusual tournament in Russia

Vasily Kamotsky he took the trophy of the slaps champion in the tournament that took place at Krasnoyarsk, as part of the bodybuilding festival Siberian Power Show. Beyond the main event, in which candidates were boasting about their bodies, several fans were encouraged to participate in this contest and others.

"In fact I went to see the show, but my friends advised me to participate and I launched, "explained the 28-year-old man who works on a farm in Serbia.The funny thing is that" Pelmen ", as his friends call him, did not prepare to participate: "It's been a long time since I stopped going to the gym and I do not use any typing technique", he explained in dialogue with The country.

The tournament is the second in Russia, the first in Moscow last year, and organizer Denis Kiyutsin said the idea was taken in the US: "When we planned the festival, we we thought we'd make it a little more fun, and we had the smack contest, we wrote the rules, there were judges, everything went very well. "

The modality is simple. All the candidates intersect in direct elimination keys. Confrontations are pairs. Whoever resists more hits goes around and the winner gets 560 USD.

A doctor and a judge oversee battles that begin when one of the contestants launches the first attack, then must resist the onslaught of the opponent, and so on. When receiving attacks, participants must face and support both hands on the table that separates them from their opponent.

Vasily Kamotsky He eliminated several of his opponents, but the most curious is that in some cases he needed only two shots and in a single case, his opponent was gone before the start of the fight.

The giant of 168 kilos is now the champion, but even he does not know his secret. The Spanish site was consulted if his bushy beard had helped him resist the slaps, but he was sincere: "They did the same thing".
