    WRESTLER NAZARIAN PONDERS COMEBACK

    Shanghai Daily
    February 7, 2012 Tuesday
    China

    DOUBLE Olympic wrestling champion Armen Nazarian is pondering a return
    with the lure of a gold medal at the London Olympics on the horizon.

    Nazarian, who turns 38 next month, won Greco-Roman gold at the
    1996 Atlanta Olympics while competing for Armenia before taking up
    Bulgarian citizenship and winning gold at the 2000 Sydney Games. He
    took the bronze four years later in Athens. "I haven't decided yet
    but it goes through my mind," Nazarian, who announced his retirement
    in 2009, said yesterday. "I'm still in the gym all the time and I'm
    trying to lose some kilos. So if I improve my shape, I'll probably
    compete in the 66kg category at the Olympic qualifications in April."
