On March 27, Ambassador Ashot Hovakimian and his wife hosted the figure skating pair Karina Akopova and Nikita Rakhmanin, who represented Armenia at the World Figure Skating Championships held in Prague, where they took 8th place, recording the highest result in the history of Armenian figure skating.

The sports pair representing Armenia, finishing among the top ten at the World Championships for the first time, has earned for Armenia the opportunity to present another pair in the next World Championships, as well as secured two entries in the senior Grand Prix series.
