Armenia’s Nazik Avdalyan made a great comeback by winning the gold
medal and being declared World Champion.

Avdalyan won the gold in the Snatch with 119 kg. She beat Russia’s
Slivenko by 1 kg.

For the Clean and Jerk lift, Avdalyan began with 141 kg and succeeded
in her first attempt. Her main opponent, Oxana Slivenko, finished
with 146 kg. In order to win the championship, Avdalyan had to lift
as much as her opponent, though she did better and finished at 147 kg.

Nazik Avdalyan, winning two small golds, gained the World Champion
title by lifting a total of 266 kg.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
