After the 24th Stepan Sargsyan International Freestyle Wrestling Tournament, head coach of the Armenian team Habetnak Kurghinyan summed up the tournament and the Armenian wrestlers’ performances, the National Olympic Committee's press service reported.
“Overall, I’m pleased with the tournament. There were many athletes and there was rivalry. Most of our wrestlers also took part in the tournament and we had prize winners. It was our last control tournament ahead of the qualifying World Championship," the coach told reporters.
"Our two wrestlers, Mihran Jaburyan (57 kg) and Arsen Harutyunyan (61 kg) lost in the finals. For Arsen it was the first tournament after the European Championship, he still has time and will work on his mistakes. Today this defeat will be a lesson for him, I can say this defeat gave much to Arsen.” he said.
