Armenian Sambo Junior and Youth Team completed their performance
in European Championship due on April 9-13 in Siauliai, Lithuania,
RA Sambo Federation President Levon Hayrapetyan told PanARMENIAN.Net.
"I'm satisfied with Armenian wrestlers' performance at the
Championship. We won 8 medals, though none of them was gold. Martin
Mirzoyan had a chance to win gold during the last combat, yet yielded
to Russian wrestler, gaining a silver medal. As for team event,
I'm unaware of the place we took, though I guess we're not in the
top 3 positions."
European Championship hosted 15 Armenian wrestlers, Tigran Kirakosyan
(weight class 48 kg) and Martin Mirzoyan (weight class 57 kg) won
silver medals; Mher Karapetyan (weight class 75 kg), Sergey Alexanyan
(weight class 62 kg), Samson Militonyan (weight class 48kg), Aramais
Margaryan (weight class 52 kg), Hovhannes Dermishyan (weight class
62 kg) and Artavazd Minasyan (weight class 68 kg) won bronze medals.
Karen Janoshyan, bronze medal winner took the 5th place at European
