Chief coach of Armenia's Greco-Roman wrestling team Levon Julfalakyan has hailed the athletes’ participation in the World Cup.

“A number of young wrestlers will be tested this year, to further join the team. Our athletes came 4th at the Cup, leaving behind several teams,” the coach said, adding that Armenia scored three wins in 5 bouts of the Cup.

Mr Julfalakyan further highly assessed the performances of Harutyun Hovannisyan (55kg), Aleksan Mikayelyan (60kg) and Rafik Manukyan (74kg).

Armenian Greco-Roman wrestlers will conduct two team practice sessions on Feb 24-March 2 and March 7-21, prior to the European Championship, due on March 19-24 in Tbilisi.
