Championship

YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 30, ARMENPRESS. Head coach of Women’s National weightlifting team of Armenia Artashes Nersisyan thinks that the women’s team fulfilled the tasks set before them: two weightlifters will represent the team in Rio Olympic Games.  

“We had the task of retaining the two ratings of the previous year and we did it. The championship was a hard one for us. I have never seen such a strong championship before, it was really very difficult but we managed to keep our two Olympic tickets. Now I can surely state that two weightlifters will represent women’s team in Rio Olympic Games.  In regard to achieving positive results in the Olympic Games, we – the coaches, the athletes will do our best in Rio to reach good results,” “Armenpress” reports, citing National Olympic Committee of Armenia, Nersisyan said.

5 athletes represented women’s national team of Armenia in World Weightlifting Championship.

Anna Govelyan (53 kg) won the 28th place, Izabella Yaylyan (58 kg) – 15th, Nazik Avdalyan (69 kg) – 14th, Sona Poghosyan (75 kg) – 21st, Hripsime Khurshudyan (75+) – 14th place.
