Stephen Kirlew
World Champion Arm Wrestler Never Allows Success to Alter his Beliefs
UK native, Stephen Kirlew has become a well-known name for his accomplishments as a Professional Arm Wrestler and his attitude of staying true to his beliefs, no matter the circumstance. Stephen beat 16 of the world's best arm wrestlers from Brazil, Armenia, Russia, and America to become the World Champion of arm wrestling 4 years in a row. His story is quite amazing because even though he had qualified for many years, he never would attend the Professional Armwrestling Conference Championship because the devout LDS Church member would not compete on Sunday's. Finally, they switched the day of the event and Stephen excelled right away becoming the number one arm wrestler.
