Summer Olympic Games will kick off in Tokyo a year from today.
Secretary General of the Armenian National Olympic Committee Hrachya Rostomyan believes that Armenian athletes will perform well.
“I am certain that our performance in Tokyo will be twice as good as in Rio. The committee has also decided to decline quota places provided without qualification. In Tokyo, Armenia will be represented only by athletes who earned their quotas. Just participating is not enough for us, and only good results can satisfy us,” said Rostomyan.
Advisor to the President of the National Olympic Committee Armen Grigoryan has announced that the committee will form a commission, which will be tasked with preparations for the Olympics. It is going to hold regular discussions with head coaches and representatives of the teams, as well as experts from medical and anti-doping centers.
Tokyo 2020 will be held from July 24 to August 9.
