96 kg weightlifters competed at the European Weightlifting Championship in Yerevan. Ara Aghanyan also represented Armenia at this tournament. The weightlifter won a small bronze medal in the snatch exercise, became the silver medalist in the push exercise with 199 kg, and recorded a result of 364 kg in the duel and became the vice-champion of Europe.
"The championship was very good, there was a little problem, I didn't feel good on the platform, but everything is fine now," Aghanyan said.
The silver medalist congratulated Davit Hovhannisyan, the other representative of Armenia, and emphasized.
"It didn't matter to me whether I won or David, everything was very good. Honestly, I'm not satisfied with my results, because I lifted heavier weights at the previous European Championship," said the weightlifter.
Ara Aghanyan assured that he will try to do his best next year. The Armenian athlete thanked his supporters and noted that there was no such support during any other European Championship, as it was today.
