The teenagers were on their way to a training camp in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, in preparation for the world championship in Hungary in August. This photo was taken during their last training session in Iran. We see the eight athletes and their two coaches." [There are 11 people in the photo, we haven't been able to confirm precisely how many of the judo team were killed - foreign news agencies say 10, while Iranians tell us that it was 11].
