Why is Armenia so big on boxing/wrestling/weightlifting?

[ara87]

It always seems like this is what Armenia pushes for the Olympics, and in general i always hear about some Armenian boxer, but like what about all the other sports, we sent 19 athletes between boxing 4, Wrestling 9, and weightlifting 6. swimming and shooting got 1,track and field and judo both got 2. I mean at least send a bunch to try for shooting, grab some soldiers and send them or something, if their never really going to try for anything else, how do they else do they expect to get a lot of medals?

Nalbandian was given an armenian passport in the armenian embassy in Argentina, by ambassador Vladimir karamshalian. Nalbandian is the architect and strategist ( number 7 in the world ) of the Argentinian Davis Cup team. In November, by the arm and hands of Nalbandian Argentina will make history by winning the final of the Cup against formidable Spain.
