Silver for Armenia: Alexandra Grigoryan Finishes Second at the 2026 European Championship

Armenian weightlifter Alexandra Grigoryan won a silver medal at the 2026 European Weightlifting Championship in the 58 kg weight category.

This result continues Grigoryan’s consistent performances on the European stage. In 2024, she became European champion in the 55 kg category, and in 2025 she won silver in the same division. In 2026, she once again stepped onto the second podium place — this time in a new weight class.
