PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia's Tokyo 2020 bronze medalist Artur Davtyan on Sunday, February 27 won the men's vault event at the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Apparatus World Cup in Cottbus, Germany.

Davtyan averaged 14.983 from his two attempts of 15.100 and 14.866 to take the first place. Ukraine's Nazar Chepurnyi placed second with 14.600, while Adem Asil of Turkey was third with 14.583.

Vahagn Davtyan, another of Armenia's athletes, earlier won silver on the rings, while Artur Avetisyan and Gagik Khachatryan didn't secure medals.

Doha is set to stage the next FIG Apparatus World Cup from Wednesday March 2 to March 5.

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
