GEVORG DAVTIAN CHAMPION OF EUROPE
Brilliant performance in the 77 kilogram category at the European Weightlifting Championship brought Gevorg Davtian the gold medal. In snatch event the Armenian weightlifter lifted 160, 163 and 165 kg barbells showing the best result and winning the title of European Champion. His closest rival, Georgi Markov of Bulgaria, was behind him with 6 kg.
Russian Vladislav Lukanin was the best in clean and jerk lifting 200 kg on third attempt. Gevorg’s 195 kg in the second attempt in clean and jerk event secured him gold. Yet, he used his third attempt trying to lift 200 kg barbell but failed. As a result Gevorg won silver in clean and jerk event.
