YEREVAN, APRIL 25, ARMENPRESS. European Weightlifting Federation (EWF) President Antonio Conflitti is certain that Armenia can again host the European championships.
“The 9 days of the competition and especially the last day were wonderful. The organization was certainly wonderful. You saw that the hall was full in the last day of competition. I couldn’t find any vacant seats. This is all a very important message for weightlifting, because last year wasn’t easy for us. And now, this support from the public is very good,” Conflitti told ARMENPRESS.
He praised Armenia for the fantastic job in organizing the event. “I can proudly say that we in Europe can show the whole world that we are able to organize a world championship, Olympic-standard competition. Yes, Yerevan can again organize a European championships. We continue to work together, and they must continually work as well. Frankly speaking, before the competition, I was expecting it to be successful, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this much successfully as it turned out to be,” he said.
