Ted's Excellent Adventure

When you meet Ted Wilson, you wouldn't believe he's one of the most talented and consistent figures in his chosen field. Ted, whos stage name is "The Elf", is in fact a British Champion arm wrestler, and recieved a bronze medal in the recent European Championships. I met Ted, and his partner Emma at their home just outside Whitehaven, Cumbria where he told me about his success in Arm Wars which saw him become the best arm wrestler in Britain in his weight catagory. "Last year I was Arm Wars champion, so I'll be back there this year to try to defend my title".

So what is Arm Wars?
"Arm Wars is really the open international tournament of champions, one of the biggest events the Britain holds. It's an invitational for all pullers.It's an absolutely brilliant venue, the Trafford Centre. It's held there every year."

Ted & Emma are expecting their first child any day now, and the couple are already thinking of stage names for their little boy, who Ted hope will follow in his illustrious footsteps!

For anyone interested in learning how to arm wrestle, Ted's advice is to join one of your local arm wrestling clubs, and maybe one day, you'll be able to compete against Ted at Arm Wars!
