The team is comprised of two athletes, Izabella Yaylyan (59kg weight class) and Tatev Hakobyan (87kg).
Artashes Mersisyan has told Mediamax Sport that the Weightlifting Federation of Armenia invited him to manage the women’s team again in April, after the European Championship.
“We are training in Yerevan now. On 19 September we’ll travel to Thailand. Our training camps take place in Abovyan, Tsaghkadzor and Yerevan. We plan to compete for Olympic quotas, not medals prize winning places in the World Championship. The competitions will show the level of our readiness,” he said.
Nersisyan and another women’s coach Arman Ghazaryan were suspended after one of the athletes, Sona Poghosyan, tested positive for doping in 2018.
Nersisyan was substituted by Vigen Khachatryan until now, who managed the team in the European Championship in Batumi this April as well.
