Adamyan, winner of the World Judo Championship: “I hope that in six months I will become Olympic champion”

World and European judo champion Arman Adamian On , he said he was striving to compete in the Paris Olympics and win a gold medal.

At the 2023 World Cup in Qatar, Adamyan won a gold medal in the weight category up to 100 kg, defeating two-time Czech Olympic champion Lukas Krpalek in the final.

– Childhood? I studied during the first shift. After school I came over and, I’m not going to lie, I didn’t do my homework. My sister helped me with this. We were in the same class. She did everything for me. She even packed my briefcase the next day. I came home from school with the idea of ​​working out, I would like to start soon.

Around the age of 16, I began to consciously understand that I could become a world and European champion and that I was capable of winning the Olympic Games. Nothing is impossible!

From now on, I will not allow anyone to touch the gold medal of the World Championships. She is the most precious. The rest can be touched. When I win the Olympics, the World Cup medal will probably take second place.

The first goal was to become European champion, I did that in 2019. The next goal was to become world champion, and I became it. In judo, the goal remains to become Olympic champion. We have six months until the Olympic Games. I won’t make any assumptions or promise anything. I hope that in six months I will become Olympic champion! My goals in terms of sport are probably everything… And then, maybe I’ll want to become a double. Repeat everything twice. And Europe, and the world, and the Olympic Games! We will see,” Adamyan said in a special report by Maria Vasilyeva “The Talent of the Winner” on .

There is no decision yet from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on the participation of Russian athletes in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The Summer Olympics will take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
