YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS: The team running for World Chess
Olympiad hosted in Istanbul could not fail and definitely did not
fail. As Armenpress reports Huffington Post dwelled on the victory
of our compatriots: " Armenia won the gold medal at the 40th Chess
Olympiad in Istanbul. It is their third Olympic gold overall. They also
finished first at the World Team Championship last year in Ningbo,
China. Upon arrival in Yerevan on Monday, the jubilant Armenian
chess team was treated like national heroes by a cheering crowd and
the president of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan who is also the head of the
Armenian Chess Federation. Small countries do that. They cherish
their victories. The Czech national ice-hockey team, led by Dominik
Hasek and Jaromir Jagr, got a similar reception after they returned
to Prague from the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano with a gold medal".
"The Little Country That Could did it again as tiny Armenia on Sunday
won its third gold medal in the past four years, nipping mighty Russia
on tiebreaks after the two chess powerhouses finished 9-1-1 at the
40th biennial Olympiad in Istanbul" Washington Times writes.
