The winner of bronze medal in London Olympics Hripsime Khurshudyan had set an aim to gain more weight. The weightlifter during the meeting with journalists noted that it will give her a chance to compete with those having more weight. We remind that Khurshudyan won bronze among women who were of bigger weight than her and overcame many.
“I left the arena in a very high mood not yet knowing that I was a bronze winner. During the third approach I was psychologically ready, I went and lifted” – she told. This year Hripsime Khurshudyan is going to marry. She will have a rest in 2013 and will return to sports in 2014.
The chief coach of women weightlifting team Artashes Nersisyan touched upon Meline Daluzyan’s failure. He thinks Meline was even more prepared but she fell into psychological deadlock. He said Meline Daluzyan will further take part in competitions to overcome the psychological crisis.
Referring to the failures and renouncements of weightlifting federation president and trainers, the second coach Pashik Alaverdyan said that there will be an assembly and everything will be decided during it.
