YEREVAN, OCTOBER 11, ARMENPRESS: Meline Daluzian, a woman weightlifter
from Armenia's second largest town of Gyumri is so far the only
Armenian athlete that has actually won the right to represent her
country at 2008 Beijing Olympic Games after winning the bronze medal
at the World Championship last week in Santo-Domingo, the Dominican
Republic.
Pashik Alaverdian, secretary general of the Armenian Weightlifting
Federation, said Meline will have to win a place between the first
and fifth lines at a rating event next year to officially qualify
for the Games which he said is out of question.
