Silver medalist of the 31st Summer Olympic Games, weightlifter Simon Martirosyan says that he owes this success to his coaches.

''I have always worked hard and my work yielded the desired result. I am grateful to my coaches for this medal. I have inexplicable feelings; I cannot convey all this in words. I easily achieved success at the Youth Olympic Games  but I can't say the same about these Games,'' Martirosyan told reporters.

Simon Martirosyan became a silver medalist scoring a total of 417kg at the Rio Olympic Games.
