Kristjan Palusalu Memorial Tournament Concludes: Results of Armenian Wrestlers

On February 8, the 37th international wrestling tournament in memory of Kristjan Palusalu concluded in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. On Saturday, February 8, the final bouts in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling took place.

The Armenian national teams in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling competed with extended lineups. In many weight categories, all-Armenian finals were held, although in several cases the decisive bouts did not take place due to one of the wrestlers not appearing — presumably by decision of the coaching staff.

The tournament became the first competition for Armenian wrestlers in 2026 and was considered a stage of preparation for the new season. Below are all the results involving athletes from Armenia.
