    LONDON (Combined sources) - Armenian President Serge Sargisian left
    for London on Thursday, July 26, and, together with other invited
    presidents, he attended the opening ceremony of the games on July 27.

    No official send-off ceremony was held for the members of Armenia's
    Olympic team because most are training in European countries.

    The National Olympic Committee announced on Monday that any member
    of the Armenian Olympic Team who medals in the upcoming games in
    London will be rewarded in cash for his/her medal. A gold medal will
    be worth $100,000; silver, $75,000 and bronze, $50,000.

    According to the Committee's general secretary, Hrachia Rostomyan,
    the government has also promised additional bonuses of $50,000,
    $37,000 and $25,000 for the corresponding medals.

    Armenia has sent 25 athletes in nine categories to the games, which
    will conclude on August 12.
