    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian Alpine Skiing Championship for athletes
    with physical disabilities was held in Tsaghkadzor, on March 3. The
    championship was organized by Armenia's Sport Federation for disabled
    people. 13 alpine skiers participated in it. They overcame 1200 m
    distance in giant slalom.

    Samvel Rostomyan, President of Armenia's Sport Federation for Disabled
    People, told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that, starting from February
    8, alpine skiers with physical disabilities are having team practice
    sessions in Tsaghkadzor. "We want the people with physical disabilities
    to get involved in sports, too, and to achieve good results both in
    Armenia and abroad. The championship will help our young skiers to
    gain experience," he said.

    The Championship participants split in two groups: athletes with
    visual disabilities and people with physical disabilities. Vladimir
    Grigoryan won in the group with visual disabilities, and Gevork
    Shahverdyan became the winner in the second group.

    "Current participants are very young, and it's quite possible that by
    2014 Winter Paralympic Games they'll be able to represent Armenia,"
    he said.
