This is the second time Armenian athletes compete in the tournament, previously participating in it in 2017. The youngsters are accompanied by Gor Abgaryan and an assistant coach.
Abgaryan has told Mediamax Sport that 4000 wrestlers from 29 countries will be involved in the tournament. They are going to wrestle on 14 mats simultaneously.
“Our squad has 15 athletes, three of them are girls. We hope to repeat the success of 2017 and win medals. Our youngest wrestler is 10 years old and the eldest is 19,” added Abgaryan.
The three girls are Ani Arakelyan, Satenik Aramyan and Shishanik Harutyunyan. The Tallinn tournament is important for everyone in the squad as a good opportunity to gain experience and test their abilities.
All 4000 wrestlers will hold a joint 4-day training camp after the tournament.
