No Need to Worry About Aleksanyan, Coach Comments on Injury

Olympic champion, three-time world champion, and four-time European champion in Greco-Roman wrestling Artur Aleksanyan (97 kg) is not a cause for concern.

This was stated by the national team's coach Samvel Gevorgyan in an interview with "Haykakan Zhamanak." Earlier, information had circulated that he sustained a serious injury during the 2019 World Championship taking place in Nur-Sultan. Member of Parliament Mkhitar Hayrapetyan had posted on his Facebook page, mentioning that Aleksanyan confirmed the information during their conversation.

Gevorgyan, who is present at the competition alongside the wrestler, noted that Aleksanyan feels pain in his side, but everything is fine, and injuries are a common occurrence for athletes; such things happen.

The coach emphasized that Artur is highly determined to compete in the finals and is preparing to win gold. In any case, the coaches are monitoring the situation closely, and if they feel that participation could be detrimental, they will decide what to do then.
