Armenia’s Gor Sahakyan earned silver in the snatch event at the World Weightlifting Championships in Norway on Sunday, lifting 154 kg. However, the 22-year-old couldn’t complete the clean and jerk, failing to record a total. Thailand’s Weeraphon Wichuma claimed gold with a world record total of 346 kg (152 kg snatch, 194 kg clean and jerk). Sahakyan is part of Armenia’s seven-strong team, which also includes Suren Grigoryan (88 kg), Simon Martirosyan, Garik Karapetyan (both 110 kg) and Varazdat Lalayan (+110 kg), along with Anna Amroyan (77 kg) on the women’s side.
