INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION HELPS ROWERS OF ARMENIA

YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, NOYAN TAPAN. The International Federation of
Academic Rowing presented 3 one-seater and 3 two-seater boats at the
price of about 20 thousand evros to rowers of Armenia. The sports
goods arrived in Yerevan on January 29. Haroutiunian Gasparian, the
Director of the Rowing Specialized Olympic Shift Sports School
informed the Noyan Tapan correspondent, that the boats are of Chinese
production, correspond to all the modern international standards and
were moved from Germany to Yerevan by a special "Ford" microbus
envisaged for that type of sports. If the Republican Sports Committee
and the National Olympic Committe of Armenia will buy the "Ford" and
give it to our federation, the rowers will gain much. They will go on
competition tours with their sports goods to the republican and
international tournaments by that car. Enough money will be saved and
the number of competition tours will add on the account of those
resources and the sportsmen will in parallel have master’s progress as
well.
