16:40 - 23 Oct, 2015

The World and Europe weightlifting champion, Nazik Avdalyan is full of hope before the qualifying World Championship. '' I started trainings after 2-3 months of my surgery but the full training began only in January. I have been training for 9 months and my physical condition is rather good. Now my back isn’t bothering me so much. I hope to get better results when started trainings. We should be realistic about our capacities. Now I can't fight for medals raising such weight. Our goal is to gain qualification. I think it's not so easy to raise the old weight after 6 years of becoming champion or training a few months '', said Avdalyan to the ANOC reporter.
