Rolly is World Champion |, Wristwrestler for both 1971 and 1972, determined in amat- eur competition sponsored by Carling Breweries. q I met Rolly on Friday at the Blueberry Creek home of his sister Noella Gibb who is proprietor of the local Bel’Air ‘Barber Shop.

But Timmins draws competition from all the Canadian provinces and Peta- luma is’ said to be mainly Californians. What does it take to be a champion? A good build for a starter. Rolly is six-foot-four, 275 pounds. His forearm is 17% inches and his bicep is 18 inches. He buys his shirts at a specialty shop to fit his 52-inch chest and 19-inch neck. Rolly, who presently works for Spruce Falls, a pulp mill in northern Ontario, is a heavy equipment operator. He has known hard work from his early youth. He spoke of working in the bush and at one “Castlegar News e SPORTS ‘Referendum For Blueberry Creek Park The regular monthly meet- ing of the Blueberry Creek font: Commniaa industry.

With his assistance, a lengthy discussion regarding the park, its main- tenance. and future develop- ment took place.

It allows you to wrap around the hand of your opponent, This advantage Rolly has. I am not sure just how a person - could describe such massive hands. Not out of proportion- they just belong to a big man, His wife Rejane, though willing to pose in a wrist. wrestling position for me, does not share in the physical training that Rolly maintains in his private gym built in their own home. With a sense of pride she conceded, “I just watch him.” Rolly sees this sport growing at all levels. When it was mentioned as a ‘possible addition to local recreation programs, he said to be sure to get a table built to regulation height and stressed the impor- tance of it. He spoke of having devised , & lever to practice on set at an le to simulate Lt : own’ imaginatidn, “this” lever‘ gains‘ its pressure from two © strong snowmobile springs which react to an approximate 200-pound pull. ‘Though there appears to be no way of measuring the actual weight a man may be wristwrestling during competi- tion, Rolly estimates this could be as much as 500 pounds.

When asked about com- petition and what determined who would wristwrestle who, he’ described how names of eligible contenders were drawn from a hat. In the last world champion wristwrestling competition, Rolly lost his title. “Tam not making excuses for myself,” he said. “But I sure stacked them up against myself. . When I drew names I pulled two top contendes.
