Armenian wrestler Chalyan to fight for bronze in World C’ship

Chalyan started well against Alex Bjurberg (Sweden), taking the score to 2-1, but Burberg eventually won 2-5 and reached the finals.

Chalyan beat his three opponents before Bjurberg and earned an Olympic quota. The match for the third place will take place tomorrow.

Tonight, three-time World champion Artur Aleksanyan (97kg) will be competing for the gold. His opponent is Musa Evloev (Russia). Slavik Galsyan (63kg) brought Armenia bronze yesterday.

“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
