    CHAMP IN RECOVERY: AVDALYAN EYES RETURN TO WEIGHTLIFTING IN TWO YEARS

    Wrestling World Champion Nazik Avdalyan announced Monday that she
    will return to the sport in two years. Avdalyan, who became World
    Champion in 2009 and has since been a popular figure of Armenian
    sport, was involved in a car accident on April 26 that left her with
    a fractured vertebrae and two cracked ribs.

    "I still can't lift even a bucket full of water. But I hope in two
    years I will return to sport by all means," said the sportswoman,
    25, who is now studying law at Mkhitar Gosh University.

    The champion is also helping to build a sports school for women,
    the construction of which is currently underway.

    "I believe that it is very important, because there are many girls
    who want to become weightlifters, however, they need special, separate
    conditions for training, and the school will give that opportunity,"
    Avdalyan told ArmeniaNow.

    Avdalyan is also preparing for her January wedding, adding that she
    doesn't expect matrimony to interfere with sport.

    "My future husband does not mind," she said. In fact her fiance is
    himself a former weightlifter and is now a lawyer.
