GEVORG DAVTIAN CHAMPION OF EUROPE

Brilliant performance in the 77 kilogram category at the European Weightlifting Championship brought Gevorg Davtian the gold medal. In snatch event the Armenian weightlifter lifted 160, 163 and 165 kg barbells showing the best result and winning the title of European Champion. His closest rival, Georgi Markov of Bulgaria, was behind him with 6 kg.

Russian Vladislav Lukanin was the best in clean and jerk lifting 200 kg on third attempt. Gevorg’s 195 kg in the second attempt in clean and jerk event secured him gold. Yet, he used his third attempt trying to lift 200 kg barbell but failed. As a result Gevorg won silver in clean and jerk event.

Gevorg Davtian became the third Armenian that has conquered European Champion title since Armenia’s independence. The previous two were Ashot Danielian (double champion of Europe) and Khachatur Kyapanaktsian.

Weight-lifting

In the European weightlifting championships that recently ended in Poland, four out of 10 athletes representing Armenia returned to Yerevan with medals.

Gevorg Davtyan (77kg) became European Champion, heavyweight Ashot Danielyan won the silver, and Arsen Tamrazyan (56kg) and Hripsime Khurshudyan (75kg) won bronze medals. Armenian Weightlifting Federation President Samvel Khachatryan said that the weightlifters had met their expectations and called their performances outstanding. “Our athletes were in very good shape, the conditions were normal and we had expectations of medals,” he said.

Khachatryan also said that the athletes who had won medals have already secured their place on the national team for the World Championships due to be held in September, but the final composition of the team will become known after training assemblies.
