YEREVAN, JANUARY 21, ARMENPRESS. Levon Aghasyan from the Armenian national athletics team has captured gold at the O. Ripakova International Tournament in Kazakhstan.

Aghasyan finished the triple jump event with a 16,63 result and won the gold medal.

This is by far the best result of the Armenian athlete during his career.

“Overall I did good, but I know that I am capable of more,” Aghasyan told ARMENPRESS.

He said he will now train vigorously for the upcoming European championship.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
