Armenia’s youth weightlifting team has claimed another medal at the European Championships.
According to the Weightlifting Federation, the European Youth and U23 Championships are continuing in Durrës, Albania.
Armenia had two representatives in the women’s 77 kg weight category: Anna Amroyan and Alina Sukiasyan.

In the clean and jerk, she recorded only one successful lift, raising 120 kg overhead. She was unable to lift 125 kg and finished fifth in the event.
