During the competition for the bronze medal, Andreasyan beat Ukrainian Denis Borohani 3-2, while Avagyan beat Georgian Goga Mamiauri 7-4.

Razmik Papikyan (61 kg) and Hrayr Alikhanyan (74 kg) scored a pass to the final after starting to compete on May 18. On May 19, Papikyan will compete with Georgian Teimuraz Vanishvili during the final, and Hrayr Alikhanyan will compete with Russian Chermen Valiyev for the gold medal.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
