25 ARMENIAN SPORTSMEN IN "BEIJING 2008"

"In a month Olympic Summer Games 2008 start in Beijing and Armenia
will be presented in the games by 25 sportsmen, said Anzhela Mirzoyan,
advanced specialist of Armenian Olympic Committee to Panorama.am.

This year there will be 6 weight lifters, 6 Greco Roman Wrestlers,
4 boxers, 3 free style wrestlers, 2 judoists, 2 athletes, 1 shooter,
and 1 swimmer. This year again Armenian delegation will be lead by
the President of Armenian Olympic Committee Gagik Carukyan.

"The delegation covers 13 trainers also," said A. Mirzoyan. According
to her every year the sportsmen get more trained and this year Armenian
delegation has expectations of victory.

In Athens we had 18 athletes and we didnt win a medal which was very dissapointing, my prediction for this is 2 golds and 1 bronze

Re: Armenia Going for Gold!!!!!!!

As much as I'd love to see us come out on top, I doubt we will, simply because the olympics and the world cup, for that matter, are only really meant for the big countries. Only major countries have one, like France for instance. Personally, I don't think half the time it's even about just the level of skill, unfortunately.

You would be surprised about how motivating those "encouraging" words can be. Coddling athletes only weakens their resolve.

I heard chairman Gagik Tsarukian has offered 6 digit amount of money to anyone who wins gold and less for silver and bronze.

You heard correctly. Nothing like a shift kick in the @ss and money to motivate people.
