Harutyunyan brothers aim for bigger achievements in diving
Armenian diver Vladimir Harutyunyan, who took the bronze with Lev Sargsyan for synchronized diving (platform) in the European Championship, has summed up 2018 as excellent.
“Naturally, we worked and hoped for this achievement for a long time. It made us very happy, but now we are aiming for more. We want to give our best every time and win more medals,” he said.
His brother Azat has had a difficult year due to an injury, but he has recovered well and is getting back into training step by step.
“These victories motivate athletes. I was so, so happy for my brother and friend. Nothing is coincidental – this is the result of the hard work they’ve done and the coach’s effort,” emphasized Azat.
Head coach of the Armenian diving team Hrachya Chandiryan says that Azat only performed on springboard this year. He finished 8th in the European Championship. In recent days the diver returned to the platform and could compete in platform exercises next year.
