Rafik Harutyunyan (77kg) from the junior team impressed by confidently lifting the biggest weight in snatch – 146kg – and lifted 180kg for clean and jerk, but a failed 3rd attempt at 183kg meant he got the overall result of 326kg and took the silver medal. The winner outstripped Harutyunyan by just one point.

Another junior Ara Aghamyan lifted 140kg in snatch but failed to lift 169kg for clean and jerk and got 0 points.

Earlier today, Izabella Yaylyan from the women’s U23 team took the bronze with the total result of 204kg.
