Speaking to the ANOC press service, Arsen Julfalakyan noted that it was hard to participate in such a tournament after a 7-month break.
“I fell short of training practice at some extent. My rivals were high-class wrestlers, prize winners of the Russian championship. I think I needed that tournament to understand my present physical condition and what gaps I should fill,” the athlete said.

The tournament held from 9 to 10 November was attended by wrestlers from Russia and Kyrgyzstan. Arsen Julfalakyan was the only Armenian representative in the tournament.
