From May 24 to June 3, the last Olympic licensing tournament will be held in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. The Armenian national team will participate in the ‘last chance’ tournament with 10 athletes (7 men and 3 women).
Let us remind that Armenia has no quotas in boxing yet, but there are high hopes for the tournament in Thailand.
Roster of the Armenian national boxing team:
Men:
51kg - Baregham Harutyunyan (4).
57 kg - Artur Bazeyan (3).
63,5 kg - Narek Hovhannisyan (5).
71 kg - Gurgen Madoyan (5).

+92kg - Davit Chaloyan (4).
Women:
50 kg - Anush Grigoryan (4).
54 kg - Ekaterina Sycheva (4).

In brackets is the number of quotas to be played in a given weight.
Changes compared to the last licence tournament in Italy:
51 kg: European Championship silver medallist in 48 kg Baregam Harutyunyan replaced Rudolf Garboyan in the line-up.
63.5kg: Narek Hovhannisyan was also entered last time but did not participate. And Hovhannes Bachkov is not in the line-up again.

It is still unknown for what reason Hovhannes Bachkov is absent, but we will inform you later.
