Armenia women’s weightlifting team prepares for the Armenian and European Championships at a training camp in Tsakhkadzor.

“4 athletes participate in this training camp, our other weightlifters; Sona Poghosyan and Izabela Yaylyan are ill and haven’t come to Tsakhkadzor. They will join the team after the Armenian Championship. The long duration of this year’s training camp is connected with the desire of a better preparation for the Rio Olympics. The less an athlete stays at home the better is for him”, Artashes Nersisyan, the head coach of Armenia women’s weightlifting team said to ANOC.

The training camp, kicked off on January 15, will end on January 31.
