PanARMENIAN.Net - Chief coach of Armenia's Greco-Roman wrestling team
commented on the clash between Roman Amoyan and Azerbaijani Elchin
Aliyev in the 1/8 final of the European wrestling championship.
"It was an unpleasant combat. The international Federation shouldn't
have allowed such a refereeing. The Azeri wrestler behaved as though he
came for a street fight. However, despite this, Roman was much stronger
than the rival," Levon Julfalakyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
According to him, FILA disqualified all the arbiters of the clash
for their biased refereeing.
"Nothing can be changed now. However, the international federation had
to take some measures during the combat. Amoyan was disqualified for
his refusal to shake hands with the rival at the end of the clash. We
have been informed by the federation that the disqualification won't
affect Roman's further performance," Mr. Julfalakyan said.
Given the arbiters' refereeing, Amoyan-Aliyev clash ended with the
victory of the Azerbaijani wrestler, who grabbed the Championships
gold.
