Armenia’s Simon Martirosyan Nommed for IWF Lifter of the Year 2019 Award



Armenian Olympic weightlifting champion Simon Martirosyan is a contender for the Lifter of The Year 2019 title of the International Weightlifting Federation, Armenpress reports.

The winner will be chosen through a voting at the IWF website.  Four other athletes are also nommed for the "IWF Jenő Boskovics Lifter of the Year Trophies for 2019".

In 2019, Martirosyan became World and Europe champion.

He is also expected to be awarded an Olympic gold for the Rio 2016 games because of Ruslan Nurudinov’s doping results.
