Armenian armwrestler Vachagan Hovhannisyan (under 70 kg category) demonstrated a high level of preparation at the prestigious East vs West qualifying tournament held on May 10 in Istanbul. Hovhannisyan took first place in the left-arm competition and finished second in the right-arm bouts.
Thanks to this result, the athlete is very likely to receive an invitation to the main professional East vs West event, which brings together the world’s strongest armwrestlers.
It is worth noting that Vachagan’s opportunity to compete internationally became possible thanks to the financial support of the president of Urartu Football Club.
