Armenian boxer Gurgen Hovhannisyan (+91 kg) beat his Turkish opponent Ilyas Muchahit during the European boxing championship games being held in Minsk, Belarus.
Hovhannisyan celebrated a 3 to 2 victory over his opponent and reached the quarterfinals, the National Olympic Committee reported.
The Armenian athlete had started performing from the semi-finals where he had defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina’s Veletik Dusan 3-2.
Well done Gurgen
Has anyone else noticed that we Armenians achieve winning medals in individual sports, but hardly ever in team competitions? – some food for thought…
Hagop,
You have an excellent point about Armenians! This is one of the main reason, how we have lost Armenian Highlands to our historical enemies!
