kg, outrunning his main competitor Georgy Markov of Moscow with four
points. He had no equal in the snatch (172 kg) and the clean and jerk
(205 kg).
Edgar Gevorgyan (94 kg) achieved a silver medal in the snatch, Arthur
Babayan (105 kg) occupied the 8th position in the snatch with 171 kg
and failed in the clean and jerk.
The Armenian weightlifters became the winner in the team ranking,
gaining 17 medals, including 13 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze medals.
Let us remind that Meline Daluzyan (63 kg) and Nazik Avdalyan (69
kg) became European Champions in the women's competition. Tigran
G. Martirosyan (69 kg), Tigran V. Martirosyan (85 kg) became all-round
champions.
This was the second subsequent victory of the Armenian weightlifting
team in the European Championship, which provides the opportunity to
send 5 male and 2 female weightlifters to the Olympic Games in Beijing.
