DOUBLE Olympic wrestling champion Armen Nazarian is pondering a return with the lure of a gold medal at the London Olympics on the horizon.
Nazarian, who turns 38 next month, won Greco-Roman gold at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics while competing for Armenia before taking up Bulgarian citizenship and winning gold at the 2000 Sydney Games. He took the bronze four years later in Athens. "I haven't decided yet but it goes through my mind," Nazarian, who announced his retirement in 2009, said yesterday. "I'm still in the gym all the time and I'm trying to lose some kilos. So if I improve my shape, I'll probably compete in the 66kg category at the Olympic qualifications in April."
