ANOC expects 13-16 more quota places for Rio-2016

According to Armenian National Olympic Committee General Secretary Hrachya Rostomyan, they have had 3 important events- European Games in Baku, 25 year anniversary of the committee and the opening ceremony of Olympavan.

“The decision to leave for Baku ended up to be a correct one: It resulted in higher ratings. Some very essential people visited Armenia for 25 year anniversary of the committee which speaks about the improvement of our role. Olympavan is a high standard center which will function from June 2016”, Rostomyan said talking to journalists.

Some sports showed great results in 2015. Rostomyan brought gymnastics as an example. He was disappointed by boxing results. “I hope that they will able to show better results next year. It will indeed be difficult, as those tournaments will take place in Baku and Istanbul, and we all should support our team”.

Armenian sportsmen got 11 quota places: Olympic Committee tries to add 13-16 more places to it.
