Here we can discus about Armenian players and teams in other sports.
Dude there were very good cyclists in Armenia. Mainly in 60's and 70's.kartoch said:I have a question
why armenian's sport is not represented in the cyclism ?
Because they are not a sport popular , or the street in armenian are not good ???
With the mountain in armenia , we can to have a good armenian's cyclism I think
Man what are you talking about, we have alot of armenians in the sports, representing Armenia and other countries.kartoch said:yes , perhaps but now , where are us armenians in this sport ????
East countries are good at wrestiling (and USA). Macedonia has got only 1 medal in Olympic games, and it was just in wrestiling.Baron Dants said:Wrestling (from armenianow.com)
One gold, two silvers: Greco-Roman wrestler Levon Geghamyan (86 kg), winning all his four matches, became the winner of the international tournament held in Tehran (Iran) in honor of Iranian Olympic champion Tehti.
And in free-style wrestling at the same tournament wrestler from Yerevan Roman Amoyan (55 kg, coached by Harutyun Khachatryan) won the silver, losing to an Iranian wrestler in the final.
That was the second silver of Armenian wrestlers at the tournament in Tehran. Earlier, Greco-Roman style wrestler representing Gyumri’s army club Vahram Hunanyan (60 kg) won a silver medal for Armenia.
Armenia really stunk up the place at the last Olympics.Poland-Cement said:East countries are good at wrestiling (and USA). Macedonia has got only 1 medal in Olympic games, and it was just in wrestiling.
You know why, because if we don't pay well to our athletes they go abroad, and they represent the others. Imagine, I know couple of wrestlers and boxers in LA, who used to represent Armenia on the international stage. The stories they tell about the training conditions is horrible!!!kartoch said:and in olympics at athenes ---> 0 medals
Hopefully Dodi Gago will turn this around. I don't like the man, but at least he has the money.Stecino said:You know why, because if we don't pay well to our athletes they go abroad, and they represent the others.

And in Greece, around 8 medals were won by Armenians representing other countries, who used to be in Armenia. Sad, but the reality.
When and where is the fight? Can we see it on the TV?edonno1 said:Darchinyan Headlines "Sunday Bloody Sunday"

We have good talent!, Armenian boxers.....TOP OF THE LINE, just look at how many Armenian boxers box on tv here in the states. As for Wrestling, As you can see from the poster above, we never fail to impress. Weightlifting, needs a serious change, Armenia lost their best to UKr. As for the other events, this is the problem, no depth.
Good luck to the new man in charge Money = A Better Armenia
edonno1 said:darchinyan won the wbo title today IBF world champion Vic Darchinyan 23-0 (18) continued to establish
himself as a real force in the flyweight division and added the IBO
world title to his collection when he defeated South African Mzukisi
Sikali 29-6-2 (17) by 8th round TKO on Sunday night at the State
Sports Centre in Homebush, Australia. A sustained barrage of power
shots from the Armenian born Australian citizen eventually wearing
Sikali down.
"I trained very good for the fight and Sikali was very tough," said
Darchinyan, in the ring after the win. "He takes some good shots.
When I hit him with some good punches, I was surprised when he didn't
go down. I was waiting for him to hit the canvas, but he kept coming
back. I was surprised how he finished the fight because he is very
fit."
29 year-old Darchinyan, making the first defence of his IBF title,
after stopping long-reigning former champion Irene Pacheco last
December, was in his usual crouching stance in the 1st round ready to
pounce. Sikali was more upright, making him appear much taller, even
though the two left-handers were of similar height. It was a slow
start by both men in the 1st round until Darchinyan opened up with a
series of left hands that had the crowd cheering. There was little
offence from Sikali in the first two rounds. Standing right in front
of Darchinyan, Sikali was attempting to make Darchinyan miss and then
counter him with right hands. Darchinyan looked very determined in
the ring and was getting angry with himself from missing punches.
Trainer Jeff Fenech in the corner yelling to him, "No angry man Vic."
