The official website of the National Olympic Committee of Armenia continues the project, “Road to Rio”, before the start of the 31st Rio Summer Olympic Games where it will tell about the athletes representing Armenia at the Olympics, and their photos made by photographer Hakob Berberyan specially for the “Road to Rio” project. 

The next hero of our project is freestyle wrestler, super heavyweight Levan Berianidze. He was born in Georgia in 1990. In 2010 he won a bronze medal at the World Championship. In 2015 he joined the Armenian freestyle wrestling team and gained an Olympic qualification in its line-up at the World Championship in Vegas. He has always dreamed of going to Olympics. The wrestler spares no effort to remember the Olympic Games with a medal.
