Martirosyan: I became a champion but I'm dissatisfied with my performance

Olympic Vice Champion, European Champion Simon Martirosyan on Tuesday summed up the results of the IWF Junior World Championships held in Tokyo.

''I became a champion but I am dissatisfied with the fact that I wasn't able to lift 246 kg. I hope it will be possible to do that during the upcoming championships. The most important thing is for the managers to be satisfied. The managers always want athletes to win more medals,'' Martirosyan said.
