Armenian wrestlers win three medals at Istanbul-hosted Grand Prix

Freestyle Wrestling Grand Prix with participation of Armenian sportsmen has completed in Istanbul.

Armenia’s Musa Murtazaliyev (74kg), Ruslan Basiyev and Mihran Jaburyan (55kg) were the first, second and third respectively.

Chief Coach of the Armenian wrestling team Araik Baghdadyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that he was displeased with the results of Zhirayr Hovhannisyan (66kg), Suren Markosyan (74kg) and Vadim Laliyev (84kg).

“I am satisfied with the results of other wrestlers, as they did their best. Of course, there were also tactical mistakes. We will work to correct them to be ready for the European Championships,” said Baghdadyan.

The freestyle wrestlers will leave for Georgia to hold joint trainings there.

Besides, the Armenian wrestlers will hold their final trainings in Yerevan prior to the European Championships due March 27-30 in Dortmund.
