Armenian wrestler Karen Aslanyan credited his gold medal at the Greco-Roman wrestling World Championships in Kazakhstan to calmness, focus and consistent work.
“I think I did the same work as at previous championships, but this time I was calmer, more composed and more focused. This is also the result of good teamwork. During the championships, I wasn’t aiming to finish my bouts as quickly as possible. I approached them very calmly,” Aslanyan told reporters at Zvartnots Airport after returning from the World Championships.
He believes his success was due to approaching the tournament without tension.
“What you saw on the mat was the result of years of experience, which led to this outcome. Every member of the national team contributed to this victory, especially my coaches,” he stressed.
Armenia won two medals at the Greco-Roman wrestling World Championships.
Gevorg Tadevosyan claimed bronze in the 87 kg category, while Aslanyan became world champion in the 63 kg category.
