Nizhny Novgorod Abrahamyan became the champion of Europe in table tennis

A pupil of the Nizhny Novgorod SCOR No13 Elizabeth Abrahamyan won the European Table Tennis Championship.

In the semifinals, she beat Frenchwoman Pritica Pavad 4-3, and in the final with the same score – German Annette Kaufmann.

This is the first in the modern history of the “gold” of the European singles championship for Russian tennis players: the last time the highest award in this sport was won by Russian women in 1988.

The victory of Nizhny Novgorod is called the pride of the city and proof that local schools train world-class athletes.

On October 9, a truly absurd and tense situation developed in Russian sports. On the one hand, the international federations are lifting discriminatory restrictions one by one. On the other hand, host countries are finding ways to keep our athletes out of competitions using a banal bureaucracy. A good example is the Russian gymnastics team, which right now risks losing its chance at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
