During the Swiss Open 2024, the Open Class category (105kg+) on the right arm saw two major arm wrestling figures compete: the Frenchman Allan Barberis and the German phenomenon Leonidas Arkona .
Allan Barberis, known on social networks under the pseudonym @france.armwrestling, dominated all of his opponents, including Leonidas Arkona, in the Open Weight category. His impressive performance allowed him to establish himself as the big winner of the tournament.
For his part, Leonidas Arkona, who suffered several defeats during this event, is now raising questions within the arm wrestling community. Some wonder if his place on the biggest international stages, like East vs West recently or King of the Table soon, is truly justified, while other athletes seem to perform better.
However, it is essential to note that Leonidas Arkona has a massive fan base on social networks, which represents a significant asset in the context of pay-per-view events. Its online influence can help increase the audience and revenue potential of major competitions, a factor to consider in its competitive future.
Leonidas Arkona will be back on stage on September 28 during King of the Table 12, where he will face the arm wrestling legend Devon Larratt who won the Open Class tournament on left arm. Another major challenge for the German athlete.
