Re: Wrestling

Someone else on the xtratime Armenian soccer forum posed the question as to why Armenia lost this badly, and the answer was that Armenia is much better at Greco-Roman styple, than freestyle which is our weakness. Also Iran actually ended up beating Russia 4-2 after destroying everyone along the way to win the World Cup, so our defeat doesn't look at least somewhat explainable in retrospect.

It's definitely good that the sport is back in the Olympics. There are literally dozens of sports in the olympics that I along with most people on this earth have never watched or even heard of in some cases. It made absolutely no sense that they chose one of the most iconic sports of the olympics to take out.

That is my impression as well. Armenia seems to be successful in Greco-Roman. I would like to see Armenia put more emphasis and resources on other sports such as boxing, karate, weightlifting, freestyle wrestling. These are sports in which Armenia can excel.
