World and two-time European champion Simon Martirosyan scored a silver medal during the competition of +109 kg weightlifters at the International Fajr Cup in Rasht, Iran. Armenia’s second participant Ruben Aleksanyan wasn’t able to come out in the same category due to his illness. This is what coach of the Armenian national weightlifting team Vigen Khachatryan reported to NEWS.am Sport from Iran.

Simon Martirosyan scored a silver medal in the +109 kg category after lifting 410 kg.
