TOKYO: Artur Dalaloyan concluded his Olympic run on Wednesday with a sixth-place finish in the men's all-around at the Tokyo Games, but the Russian gymnast's miraculous recovery from a severed Achilles heel was the best result he could have achieved.
"I can't say there was anything heroic about this," Dalaloyan said."It probably comes from the support from my family, the team, and from my strong motivation and hard work. Everyone believed that I would make the team and help it. I didn't let them down." "Finishing sixth is not a bad result," he said."I can't say that I'm disappointed with my performance."The 2018 all-around champion said his Achilles remained tender but did not cause him any significant pain.
