"I always communicate with Armenian athletes during competitions and gatherings as we are compatriots, I try to make friends and help with my advice. I have seen Yura Israelyan in different tournaments. At first glance he seems a promising judoist, he just needs to work hard and put a lot of effort. Everything depends on himself. Taking advantage of the opportunity, I will be conducting a personal training with him today and will give some practical advice, "said the 2012 Olympic champion in a conversation with reporters.
