It is worth noting that another Armenian representative, Alina Sukiasyan (71 kg), won a bronze medal.
Amroyan earned two small gold medals in the snatch (92 kg) and clean and jerk (117 kg) categories and was declared the strongest in her weight class based on the total lift.
In this category, Turkey's Burcu İldem Gerçekden placed second (total lift 206 kg), followed by Georgian Nana Khorava in third place (total lift 194 kg).
As a reminder, on July 6, another member of the Armenian team, Yughaber Amroyan (weight category 40 kg), won a bronze medal at the European Championship for athletes under 15 in Chișinău.
