About Sarah  Bäckman
Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Sarah started armwrestling in 2006 at the age of 14. It was at her first practice where she was introduced to WAL Elite Athlete Malin Kleinsmith, and instantly fell in love with competing and the comradery with her teammates. When describing finding the sport Sarah says, “It changed my life completely, going from an overweight, bullied kid, it transformed me into a dedicated athlete in just a couple years.”

Sarah rose to the top quickly, winning 8 World titles, 8 European titles and 11 Swedish titles in an incredibly short time frame. Her success led her to be featured on the Swedish version of American Gladiators and earn her the reputation as the strongest female armwrestler on the planet.

In 2013 Sarah decided to take a break from competing and moved to Florida to pursue a new career in WWE. When reflecting on her experience she says “WWE wasn’t really my thing, but I met my husband there…I spent time settling into my new life in a new country for a while, until I really started to miss armwrestling again. In 2016, age 25, I decided to get back to the sport I love so much! Now, older, smarter and stronger, I have big plans.”

Watch out for Sarah Bäckman as she looks to reassert her dominance on the armwrestling world with WAL.
