The correspondent of NEWS.am Sport has a talk with the Armenian wrestler Mikael Oganesyan who became a winner passed in Buenos Aires from November 22 to November 24 the free-style wrestling championship of Argentina in weight category of 60 kg.
"Moved to Buenos Aires together with a family 8 months ago. Here both work, and I train. Left Armenia as there were no means for accommodation and prospect.
In Armenia I trained in the sports society "Armenia". Became the silver and bronze prize-winner of the junior championship of Armenia, I took the third place in the youth championship of Armenia. Also became the prize-winner of various international tournaments.
I won all 4 duels and I became the champion of Argentina. Wouldn't tell that the victory was given easily.
As a whole, wrestling level in Armenia is higher, than in Argentina. Here in this sport there are certain financial problems. Except trainings, athletes also work. However, in respect of equipment here even it is better.
Now I can't represent Argentina on the international tournaments as I am not the citizen of the country, however here try to resolve issues with my nationality. I can't tell, whether I will join the national team of Armenia in case of the invitation", - Oganesyan noted.
