    Free style wrestling is still ongoing in Vilnius, Lithuania. Wrestlers
    of 60, 74 and 96 kg weight categories compete today. Armenia has
    representatives in all the categories.

    Armenian sportsman Arthur Arakelyan (60 kg) wrestled with Saurunas
    Yurkis of Lithuania and beat his contestant 6:0. A serious ordeal is
    awaiting Arthur Arakelyan at the next round. He is to grapple with
    Adam Batirov, a leading wrestler of Moscow's CSKA.

    Another Armenian sportsman, Suren Markosyan beat Michael Grundy of
    Great Britain (10:0) in the 74 weight category. Markosyan's next
    contender will be Gela Saghirashvili of Georgia.

    The Armenian team has already won two medals at the European Wrestling
    Championship. Ruslan Basiev (120 kg) and Jirayr Hovhannisyan (66 kg)
    won silver and bronze medals respectively.
