Timeline
In 2019, Aleksanyan lit the second torch for the Pan-Armenian Games at Khor Virap
Aleksanyan entered his second Olympic competition at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He won consecutive matches against Daigoro Timoncini (Italy), Alin Alexuc-Ciurariu (Romania), Cenk Ildem (Turkey), and Yasmany Lugo (Cuba) and won the gold medal. This made Aleksanyan the second Olympic gold medalist of an independent Armenia, after Armen Nazaryan in 1996. He also became the first Armenian Olympic Champion of the 21st century. In addition, he is the first to win a second Olympic medal for Armenia and as of the 2016 Olympics is the most decorated Olympic sportsman of his country. Aleksanyan was the first wrestler to win two World Championships in between Olympics followed by winning an Olympic gold medal since Aleksandr Karelin in 1996. He was the flag bearer of Armenia at the closing ceremony.
During the medal ceremony, Aleksanyan revealed a shirt under his Olympic jacket with a portrait of Robert Abajyan, a 19-year-old Armenian junior sergeant who was killed in the 2016 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes of April earlier that year. He dedicated his medal to the Armenian soldiers protecting the border and the victims of the conflict. Aleksanyan also stated he wore the picture of Abajyan so that the whole world would recognize their heroes and also wished that their heroes would not be forgotten. Ruben Abajyan, the elder brother of Robert, expressed gratitude for Aleksanyan: “It was much unexpected for me, for my family members. I can’t explain what emotions I had. I was touched, I felt pride; it’s hard to explain." Upon arriving back at Armenia, Aleksanyan was approached and hugged by a man at the airport who revealed himself to be Abajyan's father and thanked Aleksanyan for honoring his son.
In October 2016, Aleksanyan became an honorary citizen of Yerevan, along with fellow 2016 Olympic wrestling champion Mihran Harutyunyan.
