As we have already informed you, Armenian sportsman Hovhannnes Davtyan
/60kg/ won a silver medal in the European Judo (EJU) Championship
held in Serbia.
During his interview to A1+ Gagik Aghamalyan, the chief coach of the
Armenian judo team, noted that our hopes were justified by 50 %.
"We hoped that Armen Nazaryan /66 kg/ will also enjoy victory and
bring a medal for the team," he said.
To remind, Armen Nazaryan, became EJU champion in 2005 and
vice-champion in 2006.
Nazaryan's defeat was determined by the change of his weight
category, the chief coach maintains. "He formerly played in the 60
kg category. He hasn't got adjusted to the new category yet."
While speaking of Hovhannnes Davtyan's victory, Gagik Aghamalyan
noted that he could have shown a better result in the finals if he
were psychologically fit.
To note, Anush Hakobyan /52 kg/ and Armen Ispiryan /81kg/ quited the
championship just after the first round as, in Mr. Aghamalyan's words,
this was their first participation in the European Adult championship.
