1) "New Mexico Games: Arm-wrestling family celebrates bond with brawn" "Patricia Calbert likes basketball, softball and quilting with her great grandmother. But don't let the relaxed demeanor and interests of this 12-year-old fool you. Patricia, who will be a seventh-grader at Edgewood Middle School this fall, happens to dabble in a not so laid-back hobby -- arm wrestling. And she's a natural at it. In her first arm wrestling competition back in February, Patricia won the 10- to 12-year-old division. She also defeated all the boys in her age group to win the overall youth title." "Patricia's dad, Paul Calbert, will be defending his own title in Saturday's event. He won the men's 200 pounds and over division for novices in February."

The champion, beating all three robotic arms each in matter of seconds, was a 17-year-old girl called Panna Felsen, a high school student from San Diego, US." "Despite her lack of strength, training and technique, she was able to conquer the first arm, developed by Environmental Robots Inc. from Albuquerque, New Mexico, in just 24 seconds. Following this, and a pep talk from an arm wrestling expert, it took her just four seconds to beat the second arm and three seconds for her to win the last match."
