What was said
"They offered me a year off, no pay. I took it. I was gathering apples and eating sardines and sending my kids to school with dried apples. If I don't win, I'm gonna have to sell the house. It was a gamble. It worked out."
After 16 years with JTF2, Canada's tier-one special operations unit, Larratt was forced to choose between his military career and arm wrestling due to operational security concerns as the sport gained ESPN visibility. He took an unpaid leave at age 39, risking his family's financial security to compete for a $20,000 prize that would determine his future.
