«Թեժ պայքար ծավալվեց, շատ էի ուզում հաղթել, մանավանդ, որ մրցակիցներս թուրքեր էին։ Այսքան շատ կիլոգրամներ չէի բարձրացրել, բայց հիմա հաջողվեց։ Անչափ ուրախ եմ մեծահասակների պայքարում նվաճած առաջին մեդալիս համար»:

«Հենց ոսկու համար էի պայքարում ու չեմպիոն դարձա: Նման արդյունք եղավ ոչ միայն իմ, այլ նաեւ մեր մարզիչների աշխատանքի շնորհիվ: Շնորհակալ եմ նրանց ու մեր ֆեդերացիային մարմնամարզությունը զարգացնելու համար: Լրագրողներին էլ եմ շնորհակալ, որ օգնում եք մեզ: Մյուս տարի Օլիմպիական խաղերն են, կարեւորը վնասվածք չունենամ, 2-րդ ցատկս կբարդացնեմ, որ հնարավոր լինի մեդալի համար պայքարել»:

Citigroup discriminated against Armenian Americans, federal regulator says; bank fined $25.9 million

NEW YORK (AP) — Citigroup intentionally discriminated against Armenian Americans when they applied for credit cards, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said Wednesday.

The bureau said some bank employees argued internally that Armenian Americans were more likely to commit fraud and referred to applicants as “bad guys” or as affiliated with organized crime.

The CFPB found that Citi employees were trained to avoid approving applications with last names ending in “yan” or “ian” — the most common suffix to Armenian last names — as well applications that originated in Glendale, California, where a significant portion of the country’s Armenian-American population lives.

Armenian teen does 44 pullups between two moving trucks

By Ben Hooper

Dec. 18 (UPI) -- An Armenian teenager showed off his upper body strength by performing 44 pullups on a bar positioned between two moving trucks.

Grigor Manukyan, 18, was awarded the Guinness World Records title for the most consecutive pullups on a bar positioned between two moving trucks when he achieved the feat after training with Roman Sahradyan, a coach with multiple GWR titles of his own.
 

The trucks were required to maintain a speed of at least 3.1 mph during the attempt.

Manukyan broke the previous record of 35, which was set in 2022 by Tazio Gavioli, aka The Italian Butterfly.

"This record was not difficult for me due to my rigorous training," Manukyan told GWR officials. "I think I could have brought the number up to 50, but I decided to stop at 44 and dedicate my record to the bright memory of the heroes who were martyred in the ill-fated 44-day Artsakh war, in which thousands of Armenians died."

Manukyan said he is currently training to take on a similar record for performing pullups from a plane.
