The Armenian team returned from the World Weightlifting Championships with 3 silver and 4 bronze medals won by Araik Mirzoyan (77kg), Gevorg Poghosyan (94kg) and Smbat Margaryan (56kg).
Coach Poghos Poghosyan explains unsuccessful performance of the Armenian weightlifters by the absence of strongest team members. “Although the guys were not bad, they could not justify hopes,” he told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
The sportsmen will have a week’s rest and then start training with personal coaches.
“We have time to correct mistakes before the World Weightlifting Championships,” Poghosyan believes.
