YEREVAN, MAY 23, NOYAN TAPAN. A regular Armenian championship of ushu
was held at the Dinamo training ground of Yerevan. Over 260 sportsmen
performed in two competition styles, taolu (exercises without arms and
with different arms) and sanda (single combats). At that, 45 of the
sportsmen were from the neighboring Georgia. It is the second time
the Georgian sportsmen take part in the competition on taolu. The
competitions of sanda-ushu were especially tense.
They were held in 6 age groups. The two-day competitions made clear
what sportsmen will prepare for the Europe Championship to be held
on November 2-12 in the Italian city of Venice. Tigran Chobanian,
Chairman of the Traditional Ushu Federation of Armenia, mentioned
in his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent that we can expect the
Armenian sportsmen to perform successfully in the sanda competition
style, where Armen Grigorian, Arman Avetisian, Haroutiun Simonian,
Arman Grigorian and world silver medal-winner Felix Smoyan perform
very well. But, according to him, the same cannot be said about the
sportsmen performing in the taolu competition style.
