YEREVAN, OCTOBER 25, NOYAN TAPAN. Trainers of the juvenile, youth
and national teams of free-style wrestling presented reports on
October 24 at the RA Sports State Committee. Armenian wretslers’
competitions-performances were given satisfatory estimations:
representatives of Armenia won 4 medals of different colours at
the Europe and world championships. Speech of Yuri Alexanian, the
Chairman of the Sports Journalists’ Federation of Armenia, the Press
Secretary of the Sports State Committee, caused active discussion. It
was mentioned during the discussion that purposeful works are not
done in marzes, arsenal of juvenile and young wrestlers’ technical
means is poor and that’s why they are poor in tactical issues. In
the consequence of all these, the national team is completed with
badward wrestlers. There are serious ommissions in the organization
issues as well. The Republican Wrestling Federation does not inform in
time departments of marzes about changes of competition regulations,
refereeing issues of programs, etc. Mikayel Ispirian, the Deputy
Chairman of the Sport State Committee summed up results of the
consultation. He attached importance to the issue of participation
in the 2008 Olympic Games to be held in Berjing. It was mentioned
that the 2007 world championship will be held in Baku, in which,
in most probability, Armenia will not be able to participate.
