Armenia’s Greco-Roman wrestling team won’t take the whole squad to 2017 Junior World Championship, which is to take place on August 1-6 in Finland.

Head coach of the team Armen Babalaryan told Mediamax Sport that Armenia won’t have representatives in 84 kg and 96 kg weight categories, as respective athletes didn’t perform well in the European Championship and other international tournaments.

The wrestlers that earned place in the upcoming competition are Ashot Mkhitaryan (50kg), Tigran Minasyan (55kg), Malkhas Amoyan (66kg), Arman Baghdasaryan (74kg), and heavyweight Davit Ovasapyan.

They will travel to Finland on August 3.
