ARMENIAN FEDERATION: WRESTLING WON’T BE DROPPED FROM 2020 OLYMPICS
February 12, 2013 – 16:36 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – The Executive Board of the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) has suggested wrestling be dropped from 2020 Olympic
Games.
In conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Armenian wrestling
federation vice-president Hrant Yenkoyan noted that such rumors were
afloat during Beijing 2008 Games.
“I don’t think such a decision will be taken due to the wrestling
traditions the U.S. and European countries have,” Mr Yenkoyan said,
adding that only 10 sets of medals may be awarded instead of 18.
