The Croatian city of Split is hosting the European Weightlifting Championships.

On 8 April, Armenia’s representative Simon Martirosyan (up to 105 kg category) lifted 184 kg in the snatch drill, 230 kg-in the jerk drill and was recognized as Europe’s champion after lifting 414 kg in the biathlon.

He also scored two small gold medals in the snatch and jerk drills.

This was the third medal that Armenia scored at the European championship. Earlier, Sona Poghosyan (75 kg category) and Tatev Hakobyan (90 kg category) had scored bronze medals.

Today at 19:10, Armenia’s last two representatives, superheavyweight weightlifters Gor Minasyan and Ruben Alexanyan, will come out to the platform.
