The Armenian team of weightlifters, by winning 7 "big" medals, once
again proved in the European Weightlifting Championship 2010 in Minsk
that it is one of the strongest in Europe.

According to local Armenian sports news web site Arm.sport, the
Armenian weightlifters had never before returned from Europe with so
many medals.

The record with gold medals is not that good this time as in 2008
Armenia had 4 champions at once, while the Armenian national anthem
was played in Belarus during this championship only twice.

Given some of the Armenian weightlifter were not participating in this
Minsk championship due to different reasons, Armenia’s achievements
become far more praiseworthy.

Among Armenian weightlifters that did not take part in this
championship were Arakel Mirzoyan, Tigran V. Martirosyan, Gevorg
Davtyan, Nazik Avdalyan, who are real contenders of gold medals.
