Vigen Khachatryan has been appointed the head coach of Armenian women’s weightlifting team. Previously Khachatryan worked with the men’s team.
He has told Mediamax Sport that junior female athletes are currently holding a training camp in the town of Abovyan. It started on June 1 and will end in a few days. The next camp will kick off on June 18 in Olympavan.
“The atmosphere is great, I know the girls already because we usually travel to tournaments together. I have experience in training weightlifters and I have settled quickly. It should be noted that the environment in women’s team is much friendlier,” said Khachatryan.
He has added he hasn’t hired an assistant coach yet, because there are only 9 weightlifters in the team and the workload isn’t that much. The athletes are preparing for the EWF Youth&U15 Weightlifting Championships due to be held in Milan on July 22-29.
