The head coach of the team Levon Julfalakyan told Mediamax Sport that he was content with the trainings, noting that the young men were in good shape.
“All the trainings were successful, everything was satisfying. The penultimate camp was held together with national teams of Belarus, Lithuania, Kazakhstan and Finland. Good athletes took part, so I am hopeful to see great results,” Julfalakyan said.
The coach noted that the team would depart for Paris on August 19.
The Armenian team will involve Vazgen Khachatryan (59 kg), Karen Aslanyan (66 kg), Varsham Boranyan (71 kg), Karapet Chalyan (75 kg), Maksim Manukyan (80 kg), Artur Shahinyan (85 kg) and Artur Aleksanyan (98 kg).
“Armenia will only miss the competition in heavyweight category, as we still have an issue here. Of course, Edgar Khachatryan is a promising athlete, but it not the time for him to participate in the World Championship,” Julfalakyan concluded.
