    ARMENIAN FEDERATION: WRESTLING WON'T BE DROPPED FROM 2020 OLYMPICS

    February 12, 2013 - 16:36 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The Executive Board of the International Olympic
    Committee (IOC) has suggested wrestling be dropped from 2020 Olympic
    Games.

    In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Armenian wrestling
    federation vice-president Hrant Yenkoyan noted that such rumors were
    afloat during Beijing 2008 Games.

    "I don't think such a decision will be taken due to the wrestling
    traditions the U.S. and European countries have," Mr Yenkoyan said,
    adding that only 10 sets of medals may be awarded instead of 18.
