Armenia’s best swimmer not to attend 2012 Olympics

12:24 • 13.06.12



Armenia’s top swimming athlete, Vahan Mkhitaryan, is not attending the 2012 London Olympic Games.

The Swimming Federation has reportedly not worked consistently enough to ensure his participation.


Two Armenian swimmers, Mikael Koloyan and Anahit Barseghyan, are going to represent the country this year.


Koloyan demonstrated a very poor result in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He is participating in this year’s games as a freestyle swimmer.

The International Swimming Federation (FINA) has selected 75 participants of the 2011 Shamghai World Cup for the London Olympics.
