Antiguan cops third place in international arm-wrestling competition
Antiguan Arm-Wrestler Daniel Antonio achieved an impressive third-place finish in both the right and left arm categories at the recent North American Arm-wrestling Championship in Mexico.
Competing against a field of over 100 strong athletes, the 20-year-old displayed remarkable skill and determination to secure the third spot.
Daniel, a member of the Brothers in Armz 268 group, has been making waves in the arm-wrestling scene.
Last year, he showcased his talent at the Arnold Classic Europe Arm Wrestling Tournament in Madrid, Spain, where he excelled in the beginners’ category (over 100kg), clinching the first-place position.
He also achieved a commendable fifth place in the senior’s category, competing against seasoned world and Spanish champions.
The Brothers in Armz 268 group, formed in 2020, has been instrumental in supporting and nurturing talent like Daniel, showcasing Antigua and Barbuda’s prowess on the international arm-wrestling stage.
