Arakel Mirzoyan - European Weightlifting Champion
In the European Weightlifting Championship in Bucharest the Armenian sportsmen have registered first success. Arakel Mirzoyan, the son of the renowned weightlifter Ogsen Mirzoyan, gained the title of the champion of Europe in 69-kg weight category.
Specialists have no special hopes with regard to the Armenian sportsmen in the current championship since the leading weightlifters are not participating in it. Anyway, even in this case, the Armenian team has gained a gold medal.
Tomorrow 85-kg category weightlifters will launch their performance. Armenia will be represented by Gevorg Poghosyan and Aram Andikyan.
