"If we want to win medals in Beijing, our sportsmen should be given
scholarship of at least 1,000 USD", heavy athletics coach Vahan

Journalists asked what sum is needed to reach success in Olympic
Games. "The more we would have the better we could perform. Three
times more than we have now", National Olympic Committee vice-president
Michael Ispiryan said and added that 350 million drams were targeted
last year for Olympic sportsmen.
