The only height every athlete seeks to reach is the Olympic gold, world champion, Olympic silver medalist weightlifter Gor Minasyan told reporters on the sidelines of the awarding ceremony of top 10 Armenian athletes at the Presidential Palace on Friday.

“We are doing our best to conquer gold at the Olympic Games in Tokyo,” the weightlifter said.

According to him, in late May it will become clear how many athletes will represent Armenia at the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Commenting on the award ceremony, the weightlifter said that such events are encouraging for all athletes. “You feel that all your efforts and achievements have not been in vain. Your country values your results,” he said, stressing the awards encourage them to strive for better results at the Tokyo Olympics.  

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
