Reigning world champion Artur Davtyan has advanced to the final of the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup second leg in Doha, Qatar.

Davtyan, a European champion and a Tokyo 2020 Olympics bronze medalist, placed second in the vault qualification with a score of 14.766, the sports ministry said on Friday.

The athlete earned a gold medal in the first leg of the Gymnastics World Cup in Cottbus, Germany on February 26.

Two other Armenian gymnasts, Vahagn Davtyan and Artur Avetisyan, reached the World Cup final on Wednesday.

“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
