Armenian wins Gold

[jgm1975]

Makhidar Manoukian has won the Bronze medal in Wrestling (Greco-Roman) 66kg for Kazakhstan. That's 5 Armenians outside of Armenia that have won medals (1 gold, 1 silver, 3 bronzes) for Russia, Sweden, Greece, Kazakhstan and Bulgaria. Please let me know if I am missing another Armenian. Armenia itself ended the Olympics with 0 medals.

Something needs to be done about this. Ain't cool man.

again....maybe someone should start a fundraising organisation to fund more athletes to compete for Armenia instead of complaining about it

I actually have no problem with this. Whether an Armenian wins a medal for Armenia or for another country, so what. He or she is not less of an Armenian. We should all be happy about the achievement of the 5 medal-winning Armenians. Being Armenian is not a question of citizenship, it is a question of culture...

but in a competition among countries...0 is not a good number

Hmmm...I guess so.
The sarcastic part of me is saying that Robert Kotcharian, who met with all the athletes and who even traveled to Athens was a great good-luck charm!
