Determined To Rise Above This


Shavarsh wasn’t ready to accept the fact that 17-time world champion era has ended. The thought wasn’t giving him any satisfaction and as they say, age is just a number, Sarvarsh proved it right. In late 1976, he traveled to Yerevan (Armenia’s capital). There he started training in the lake where he did 12 mile runs round to gain his lost strength. One day, while he was busy with his training he noticed something in the lake. What was that? The episode changed his life forever.
