One of the bright successes of the year are the performances of
the weight lifters. Summing up the year 2007, we can say that they
performed brightly.

Our sportsmen won the title of the champion in the European
tournament. The Armenian national team returned from this tournament
with 18 medals 10 of which are gold. The world championship that took
place in Thailand was a little disappointing. European champion David
Gevorgyan could not win the first place which was taken by a Serb
weight lifter. Ara Khachatryan did not compete due to injury.

Trephine town of Spain and the Youth European Championship. Araik
