YEREVAN, JUNE 12, ARMENPRESS: 56 kg European weightlifting youth
champion Arakel Mirzoyan, his father and coach Olympic Champion Ogsen
Mirzoyan and the Head of the Armenian Weightlifting Federation Samvel
Khachatryan left today from Yerevan to Bucharest, capital of Romania.

A. Mirzoyan will take part in the world youth cup which will be held
in Bucharest. At least 4-5 Armenian weightlifters were intended to
take part in this tournament but the Armenian Federation decided to
send only one athlete. This means that the Armenian young weightlifters
who prior to that successfully fought in the European Cup mechanically
stay off the team fight.

The world youth weightlifting cup will kick off June 17, before that
A. Mirzoyan will hold a training gathering in Bucharest.
