Armenia’s Aghasi Aghasyan awarded posthumous European Weightlifting Championship medals after results reallocation

Armenian weightlifter, the late Aghasi Aghasyan, has been posthumously awarded the bronze medals in the clean & jerk and total results of the 2014 European Weightlifting Championships held in Tel Aviv, Israel, following the reallocation of results announced by the European Weightlifting Federation.

Aghasyan died in a car crash in 2019 at the age of 30.

The reallocation took place after the EWF disqualified other athletes who competed in Aghasyan’s 85kg category in 2019.

The medal reallocation ceremony took place during the Congress of the European Weightlifting Federation in Batumi, Georgia.

The medal was received on Aghasyan’s behalf by the Secretary General of the Weightlifting Federation of Armenia, Samvel Gasparyan.

The Federation will transfer the medal to the Aghasyan family in the coming days.
