YEREVAN, APRIL 5, ARMENPRESS: All the 3 Armenian weightlifters
participating in the tournament of the European Weightlifting
Championship – Samvel Grigoryan, Vanik Avetisyan and Hayk Hakobyan, are
prepared well enough to struggle for worthy places. The tournament will
be held April 6-16 in Antalya, Turkey. Coach of National Weightlifting
Team of Armenia, international-class referee Pashik Alaverdyan told
this Armenpress before leaving for Antalya.

As Mr. Alaverdyan said, all the three athletes have a practice of
participation in international competitions.

“This time the Armenian team will come forth without its leading
weightlifters, but the European Championship is not a qualifying
Olympic tournament in contrast to the World Championship 2011, and
all our best athletes either train with an individual program or have
not fully recovered from traumas yet.
