I think the psychological factor prevented our judokas from showing good results,” the coach told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. “I expected Hovhannes Davtyan, Armen Nazaryan and Hakob Arakelyan to secure medals. Davtyan was expected to reach the final,” Babayan said. Top stories Armenian gymnast, Olympic bronze medalist Artur Davtyan has reached the finals of the World Cup.
