21.04.2023

76 kg women competed at the European Weightlifting Championship in Yerevan. Emma Poghosyan, a member of the youth national team of Armenia, had two successful approaches in the snatch exercise: 93 kg and 96 kg. During the push-up exercise, Poghosyan held the 116 and 121 kg barbells above her head. In the duel, Poghosyan lifted 217 kg and took 5th place.

“Of course, I lifted more. I am not so happy with the results. I will do more to perform better in other competitions”, said Emma.

The young weightlifter noticed that the lack of confidence distracted her. According to her, she could not recover fully after the competition in Albania.

The 16-year-old weightlifter emphasized that she would have placed 3rd in the Yerevan tournament if she lifted the same weights.
