The World Armwrestling Federation (WAF) selected Iran to host the 2023 Asian Para-Armwrestling Championship.
Tehran, the capital of Iran, will host the competition from April 27 to May 5.
As the name implies, armwrestling involves two opponents who face each other with their bent elbows on a table and their hands tightly grasped, then attempt to force the opponent’s hand down to the table.
In casual situations, the sport is often used to demonstrate which person is stronger.
Other names for the same sport were used in the early years, such as arm turning, arm twisting, wrist twisting, and wrist wrestling.
