Weightlifter Andranik Karapetyan is already at the Olympic Village and feels well.

He told Mediamax Sport that he dislocated his elbow at the second attempt of the clean and jerk exercise.

“Everything is fine now. I just regret that after such hard training for the games, everything went south in just one attempt. However, I don’t despair, the best is yet ahead of me,” the weightlifter said.

He thanked everyone who worried for him and said hello to them from Rio.

Karapetyan’s personal coach Vigen Khachatryan said: “Andranik will renew training in a month. Everything will be fine.”
