Armenian sports fans are happy for the successful competition of Armenian Greco-Roman wrestlers in the first European sports games. On this occasion, the President of the National Olympic Committee of Armenia, Gagik Tsarukyan, organized a warm reception at the “Pharaon” complex. This was reported by the NAOC news service.
It is said in the message.
“Hundreds of people from the sports world welcomed the delegation. The appearance of the hard-working boys who returned from the race was impressive. Although the spirits of the wrestlers were high, the bruises and swellings reflected on their faces moved the audience. Everyone was aware that the athletes had really gone through a tough test, that they wrestled with unceasing dedication, ignored and despised the abuse of sports fans, biased refereeing, various pressures, etc. This is also evidenced by the conversations they had with them.
Gagik Tsarukyan’s speech was touching. He emphasized that the fighting ability and patriotic spirit of the boys is stamped on their faces. Credit should also be given to their parents and relatives. People not only did not interfere with the race route, but encouraged and sent their children off with wishes to win. The wrestlers were cohesive, organized, balanced, and focused only on their matches. It is impossible not to notice and appreciate all this. Our attention to them will be continuous and they will be treated with respect. C. Tsarukyan expressed hope that our other representatives will enter the arena with the determination to win and will fight persistently and uncompromisingly for the medals.
Wrestlers Roman Amoyan, silver medal winners Mihran Harutyunyan, Karapet Chalyan, Maxim Manukyan, distinguished coaches Samvel Gevorgyan, Edward Sahakyan and Artur Petrosyan, who returned from the Games, noted that our team will now start preparing for the upcoming year’s main test, the World Championship, where Olympic tickets will be played. :
