YEREVAN, APRIL 20, ARMENPRESS: Armenia's Weightlifting Federation is
planning to officially apply to the World Weightlifting Federation to
appeal the omitting of the obvious violation at the European Cup in
Kazan by Turkish athlete Selim Yacgi who while lifting the bar could
not stand straight, an official from the Armenian Federation reported.
As a result of mistake of the referees, Armenian weightlifter Arayik
Mirzoyan, who lifted the same weight without violations, received
silver. The European Weightlifting Federation refused to satisfy the
appeal of the Armenian side, but the World Federation is to study
the fact.
