Armenian wrestlers Arsen Harutyunyan and Hayk Melikyan had a strong start to the 2025/26 German Bundesliga season.
In the opening round, Harutyunyan (61 kg, freestyle) claimed a dominant 18:0 victory over Horst Lechr. Melikyan (75 kg, Greco-Roman) also impressed, defeating Otar Abuladze 9:4.
Both athletes represent KSV Köllerbach, which, despite their individual wins, lost to SVG 04 Weingarten with a score of 15:19.
Other Armenian wrestlers — Malkhas Amoyan and Shant Khachatryan — missed the first round with KSC Hösbach.
It should be noted that before the start of the season, Arsen Harutyunyan and Malkhas Amoyan competed at the 2025 World Championships as part of Team Armenia. Harutyunyan won bronze, while Amoyan became world champion in the 77 kg weight category. Hayk Melikyan and Shant Khachatryan were not included in the national team, though Shant represented Armenia today at an international tournament in Novosibirsk.
