YEREVAN, DECEMBER 24, ARMENPRESS. Figure-skating is considered to be one of the most difficult and beautiful sports. Brothers Sargis and Slavik Hayrtapetyans are closely tied up with figure-skating. They are the sons of the Chief Trainer of the Armenian Figure-Skating Team Samvel Hayrapetyan. Despite the fact that alongside with their father Samvel and mother Armine Hayrapetyan (second trainer of the team) they live and train in Riga, "Armenpress" had a conversation with the figure-skaters near Karapi Lich, Yerevan.

Injuries and pain do not reduce love towards figure skating.

The student of the forth course of the Armenian State Institute of Physical Culture Sargis Hayrapetyan stated: "My father and mother brought me to the skating-rink. When I fell for the first time it was very painful and I did not wish to go in for figure-skating anymore. Although years passed and I took up figure skating seriously at the age of nine." Sargis Hayrapetyan is a fan of renowned Russian figure-skater Yevgeni Plyushchenko and Frenchman Brian Joubert.
