Paarth Sonni is one of India’s most formidable heavyweights. In Season 1 of the Pro Panja League, he competed under the Mumbai Muscle franchise in the 100 KG+ category.
He had a tremendous run in the first season winning every match except for his match against Mazahir Saidu.
Ahead of the second season, Sports India Show had the opportunity to chat with Paarth to talk about his experience in Season 1 and also his preparations for Season 2.
1) How is the training going?
Training is going on great – I have had some good training sessions on table with friends, and couple of more to go before the tournament.
2) How was your experience in the first season?
The first season it was like a dream come true for me and my friends, I enjoyed every bit of it, I earned so much and was one of the best tournaments I have been to, I have to thank Parvin Dabas sir and my team Mumbai Muscle for the tournament and giving us a chance to showcase our skills.
3) What do you think will the strategy be in Season 2?
I have been arm wrestling since like 7 years now and to be a good arm wrestler you have to be able to fight in all areas be it hook, top roll, press so will be trying to use all this in the next tournament.
4) Your most memorable moment from Season 1?
I think there are so many moments from the tournament from the start to finish I think remember everything, the atmosphere was just awesome from fighting to cheering for the team, made a lot of new friends and a few enemies – just joking, saw a lot of surprises as well, it was all very exciting.
5) What can we expect from you in Season 2?
It’s going to be season 2 so 2x more power, 2x more fighting, and I hope 2x more fun.
