After returning from the competition, senior coach Gevorg Davtyan, who was the leader of the Armenian national team at the U15 and U17 European Weightlifting Championships in Milan, in an interview at the Zvartnots airport told Aravot.am: “Four gold and one bronze medals are a good result.
We could have more if tension and stressing did not hinder some of our boys. For example, Zhora Sargsyan and Andranik Papikyan participated in an international tournament for the first time and were very excited. Otherwise, they could win medals too. Our preparations went without problems, for which we thank the President of the Armenian National Olympic Committee Gagik Tsarukyan”.
