/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian tae kwon-do youth team (below age 17)
finished competitions in XVII European championship held in Trelleborg,
Sweden. Defeating Romanian, British and Bosnian athletes, Varag
Aghadjanyan (weight class: 51 kg.) won title to semi-final in which
victory over Turkish tae kwon-do athlete Seitan Avaliku led him to a
bronze medal. Defeated in quarterfinal single combats, Haykaz Samvelyan
(w.c. below 59 kg.) and Vahagn Aghekyan (w.c. below 67 kg.) occupied
the 5th horizon in championship list.
The result may be deemed satisfactory, since Armenian young athletes
were not awarded medals over the past 5-6 years, RA Tae Kwon-Do
Federation President Vardan Khaghramanyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net
correspondent. "For me, it is a satisfactory result, because gold medal
was expected from Haykaz Samvelyan. All in all, it is a progress,"
Khaghramanyan said, adding that Armenian tae kwon-do team (cadets:
below age 15, coach: Zorayr Mekinyan) is to arrive in Zagreb, Croatia,
on June 24 to participate in third European Cadet Championship due for
June 26-28. Armenian tae won do team (chief coach: Rakhim Samekhi,

Aghadjanyan (below 51 kg,). Gourgen Haroutyunyan (below 63 kg.) and
