We spoke with Varant Kurkeyerian of our FISTF World Cup team in the fourth installment of the interview series with members of the USA squad going to Rome.

ASA: Can you describe the feeling of representing the USA at the FISTF World Cup?

VK: It’s an amazing feeling and honor to represent the USA! This will be the third time I have in the past eight years. One of the greatest memories I had was listening to our National Anthem, on September 11, 2015, in San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy, while embraced in the arms of my teammates. Still gives me goosebumps!
