Photos made years ago stir interest in our minds today, especially those that carry historical importance.

In this issue of In One Shot series Mediamax Sports presents such a photo, which depicts great Armenian gymnast Hrant Shahinyan and composers Arno Babajanyan and Edward Mirzoyan.

The wife of Olympic champion Hrant Shahinyan, Ms. Emma tells that her husband had many friends. Sociable, kind and outgoing Shahinyan was able to form good relationships with people from various spheres.

It is no coincidence that he was known and welcomed not only by fellow athletes, but also by people of art and literature.

1983 marked the 60th birthday of Hrant Shahinyan. Ms. Emma tells that they organized a party at the Chess House, and each guest presented an entertaining congratulation.

Renowned composers Arno Babajanyan and Edward Mirzoyan were among the guests. They also took to the stage and approached the birthday man. Minutes later they performed a beautiful piece dedicated to their friend.
