Gene Camp, the founder and president of the New York Arm Wrestling Association said, ’The White Castle Queensboro Arm Wrestling Championships is the oldest of all the NYC Borough championships because the first official NYAWA event was held in Queens in 1977 at the old Sunnyside Gardens in Queens.’ Camp continued, ’The Queens championships are also one of the most exciting events of the NY Golden Arm Series because Queens has some of the best ranked arm wrestlers of the entire city and challengers have come locally, from the tri-state area and from far away as Russia, Turkey and Brazil for the challenge. We are also excited about crowning the NYC Junior Champions, which is a great audience crowd pleaser’.
