We have 1 medal for every 600 000 Armenian in Armenia. The best per capita rate in the world by far.

How about weight lifting? Didn't Armenians take weightlifting crowns at the euros?

We're finished with weightlifting now... We won three bronze medals from it. We could have gotten a gold or silver but the Chinese are too powerful.

I'm confident we'll get at least one more medal and I'm hoping we get a gold medal, that would make Beijing a great success for our country. I'm just dieing to hear our anthem played.
