Chief coaches satisfied with performance of Armenia’s judo and freestyle wrestling teams at Singapore Olympic Games

PanARMENIAN.Net - On August 29, Armenia’s team arrived in Yerevan from Singapore, which hosted the first-ever Youth Olympic Games. Armenia’s team won four medals. Specifically, weightlifter Gor Margaryan won silver medal, while freestyle wrestler Artak Hovhannisyan, judoist David Kazaryan and weightlifter Smbat Margaryan won bronze.

Chief coach of Armenia’s judo youth team Martin Sargsyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that he is happy with the performance of Kazaryan, despite judges’ biased attitude during his fight against an American judoist. “Nevertheless, Kazaryan managed to win bronze medal,” said Sargsyan.

According to him, the team will resume trainings in several days. In October, Georgia will host the last international tournament of 2010.

Chief coach of Armenia’s freestyle wrestling team Eduard Tunyan is also satisfied with the performance of Hovhannisyan, expecting good results from him in future as well. “Our team won four bronze medals at the European championships and international tournaments in 2010. We have completed our performance this year and will start preparing for 2011 after a short-term rest,” said Tunyan.
