108262.jpg

The Turkish wrestler did not stand beside Armenia’s Olympic champion Artur Aleksanyan for the general photoshoot during an awards ceremony at the 2020 European Wrestling Championships in Rome.

The Greco-Roman competition of this event ended with the 97kg final where Aleksanyan won the European gold medal for the fifth time.

Turkey's Cenk Ildem, who faced the Armenian wrestler in the Round of 16, stood out with an unsportsmanlike conduct at the awards ceremony. During the overall photoshoot, the Turkish wrestler changed places with the other bronze medalist, Aleksandr Golovin (Russia), in order not to stand next to Aleksanyan.

Artur Aleksanyan beat Ildem 7-1 in the Round of 16. During the fight, the Turkish wrestler repeatedly provoked and hit Artur in the head, causing the referee to penalize him and adding two points in favor of the Olympic champion.

Coronavirus: Vaccine created by Noubar Afeyan's company shipped for trials

Moderna Therapeutics, a biotech company based in Cambridge, Mass., has shipped the first batches of its COVID-19 vaccine, Time reports.

Moderna Therapeutics' co-founder and director is American entrepreneur of Armenian descent Noubar Afeyan.

The vaccine was created just 42 days after the genetic sequence of the COVID-19 virus, called SARS-CoV-2, was released by Chinese researchers in mid-January.

The first vials were sent to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, which will ready the vaccine for human testing as early as April.

NIH scientists also began testing an antiviral drug called remdesivir that had been developed for Ebola, on a patient infected with SARS-CoV-2. The trial is the first to test a drug for treating COVID-19, and will be led by a team at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

The first patient to volunteer for the ground-breaking study is a passenger who was brought back to the US after testing positive for the disease aboard the Diamond Princess. Others diagnosed with COVID-19 who have been hospitalized will also be part of the study.

Noubar Afeyan, along with businessmen and philanthropists Ruben Vardanyan and Vartan Gregorian, founded the 100 LIVES initiative in 2015.

Արսեն Հարությունյան. «Ինձանից ինչ պահանջվում է արել եմ, որպեսզի այդ օրը ու այդ ժամին ամեն ինչ լավ լինի»

 

Ազատ ոճի Հայաստանի հավաքականի անդամ Արսեն Հարությունյանը ստիպեց իր մասին խոսել 2019-ին, երբ մեծահասակների գորգում իր նորամուտի մրցաշարում դարձավ Եվրոպայի չեմպիոն 19 տարեկանում՝ հաղթելով եզրափակիչում 0:8 հաշվով պարտվելուց հետո: Այնուհետև, երիտասարդ ըմբիշը ունեցավ վնասվածքներ ու անհաջող շրջան, սակայն 2020-ին նորից ի ցույց դրեց իր տաղանդը՝ դառնալով Եվրոպայի առաջնության բրոնզե մեդալակիր: Հետո Արսենը դարձավ ավելի լավը, կատարեց սխալների ուղղում, աշխարհի գավաթում նվաճեց արծաթե մեդալ, իսկ եվրոպական վարկանիշային մրցաշարում հավասարը չունեցավ:

Հարությունյանը դեռ 2019-ին մեզ պատմել էր ըմբշամարտում առաջին քայլերի, պատանիների ու երիտասարդների գորգում ունեցած հաջողությունների, մեծահասակների պայքարում սենսացիոն նորամուտի մասին, հիմա VNews.am-ին 21-ամյա ըմբիշը պատմեց, թե ինչ տրամադրվածությամբ է մեկնելու Տոկիոյի Օլիմպիական խաղերին:

Արսեն, վերջին անգամ մեծահասակների գորգում Ձեր նորամուտի մրցաշարում՝ Եվրոպայի առաջնությունում, մեծ սենսացիայի հեղինակ դարձաք՝ դառնալով հաղթող: Առջևում Ձեր առաջին Օլիմպիական խաղերն են, ի՞նչ ակնկալենք Ձեզանից:

Ես հավատում եմ, որ ամեն ինչ լավ է լինելու, քանի որ ինձանից ինչ պահանջվում է, ես կատարել եմ գորգում, որպեսզի այդ օրը ու այդ ժամին ամեն ինչ լավ լինի: Իմ առաջին Օլիմպիական խաղերն են լինելու ու ես 5 տարի շարունակ ես մտածել եմ այս Օլիմպիական խաղերի մասին: Մտածել եմ ու պատկերացրել, թե ինչպես եմ բարձրանալու գորգ, ինչպես եմ գոտեմարտելու ու հոգեբանորեն պատրաստ եմ:

Ի՞նչ են Ձեզ համար Օլիմպիական խաղերը:

Ինձ համար մեծ նպատակ է, որ դրել եմ ինքս իմ առջև ու պետք է հասնեմ դրան:

Ինչպե՞ս եք նախապատրաստվել:

Շատ լավ եմ նախապատրաստվել, շատ լավ ուսումնամարզական հավաքներ ենք անցկացրել: Կատարել եմ մարզիչների բոլոր առաջադրանքները ու հիմա ինձ լավ եմ զգում: Հավատում եմ, որ լավ է լինելու: Ամենակարևորը՝ հավատքն է:
