YEREVAN, MAY 31, ARMENPRESS. The head coach of the Armenian national gymnastics team says the World Challenge Cups serve as an “exploratory” tournament for Armenian athletes.

“It was important to participate in the World Challenge Cup to see how much Artur Davtyan will score in the all-around, because at the World Championships we are going to seek to qualify for the Olympic Games in the all-around. The World Challenge Cups are exploratory tournaments for the team,” Head Coach Hakob Serobyan told ARMENPRESS.

He praised the result of his team in the World Challenge Cup in Bulgaria, where Artur Davtyan won 1 gold, 2 bronze, while Artur Avetisyan won 1 gold.

Olympic bronze medalist, World and European Champion Artur Davtyan has most chances of winning a ticket to the Olympic Games with results of the World Championship, Serobyan added.
