Mıgırdiç Mıgıryan (Armenian: Մկրտիչ Մկրեան, romanized: Mkrtich' Mkryan,[1] also spelled Mıgır, Mığır, Migir in Turkish) (12 September 1882 – 1915) was one of two athletes who represented the Ottoman Empire in the Olympic Games which was held in Stockholm in 1912.
[5][6] Migir Migiryan along with ethnic Armenian Vahram Papazyan were the only two athletes representing Turkey in the country's first official participation of the Olympics.
[8] One of his classmates was Vahram Papazyan, another ethnic Armenian Olympian who would participate with him at the 1912 Olympics.
[3] Unlike his counterpart Vahram Papazyan, who did not have the required finances to pay for the trip, Migiryan came from a wealthy family who managed to cover all the necessary expenses needed for the trip to the Stockholm Olympics.
While competing against Jim Thorpe during the Decathlon, however, Migiryan suffered a wrist injury and was forced to discontinue.
