“I think every sportsman when going to any competition has some history behind, and fortunately our history is very rich.” – said vice champion Arsen Julfalakyan during the meeting with journalists.
He said that they left for London in an excellent mood, there were no health problems. “We went to struggle for medal and naturally we wanted gold. Something went wrong in the final game, I slipped somewhere, I can’t say a concrete reason. Today we have what we have, nothing can be brought back, I am very happy with my silver Olympic medal, which Armenia didn’t have for 16 years. I realized later how strong my rivals were.
Arsen Julfalakyan’s coach said they knew they were going to win medals. “We will work hard to bring gold from the next Olympics. It was difficult to lose gold, anyhow we are happy to have medal irrespective of its color.”
