News.am, Armenia

Arpine Dalalyan (Armenia) took fourth place at the 2021 European Weightlifting Championships that are wrapping up in Moscow.

The 22-year-old athlete lifted a combined weight of 221 kg (95 kg + 126 kg) in the women's +87 kg weight category.

Emily Campbell (UK), who lifted a total of 276 kg (122 kg + 154 kg), became the women’s European champion in this weight category.

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
