The winner said just after the competition that he was surprised as he wasn’t sure to participate until a few days ago. Lagaet went through surgery recently due to an injury in his knee. His physician advised him this week not to take part in the event but he had been training hard and he didn’t want to miss this great opportunity.

The 16 contenders showed a high and demanding level and a remarkable physical condition, measuring up to that of many sport professionals.

Congratulations Lagaet!!!We'll see you in Moscow!
