Arsen Harutyunyan, our main contender for the championship in the European freestyle wrestling championship in Tirana, 61 kg, met in the semi-finals with Zavur Uguev, an Olympian, world and European champion, competing under a neutral flag.
After the first round, Arsen was ahead in the score 3:0, but in the second he lost his vigilance for just a moment and the experienced competitor took advantage of it, first made a four-point trick, and then won a clean victory.
Tomorrow, Arsen Harutyunyan will wrestle for the bronze medal with Dmitry Shamela, who also competes under the UWW banner.
Thus, the Armenian freestyle team will not have a gold medal at this EC.
