Sargis Martirosjan with an elbow injury
At the South American Championships & Open Olympia Quali in Cali – Colombia, Sargis Martirosjan (SK Vöest Linz) started on Friday, May 14th at 10 a.m. in the class up to 109 kg. The two million city of Cali in the southwest of the country is currently considered a hot spot. In Colombia there are currently civil war-like conditions due to a tax reform. The situation is extremely dangerous, especially in Cali. Sargis Martirosjan says there are police everywhere on the way from the hotel to the sports hall and there is a curfew from 6 p.m.! The situation for a possible Olympic qualification for the 34-year-old has suddenly changed due to the changes (the four best results in the qualification phase are used) due to the Covid pandemic, Sargis says: “After my good results at the beginning of the Olympia Quali am 99% of the time “.
On the other hand, OÖGV – President and Coach Gottfried Langthaler stacks deeply: “Let’s say 80 – 90%, we have to wait for the U20 World Cup in Tashkent / UZB, because because of the Corona-related cancellation of the U20 World Cup 2020, all 2000 years will have their last Olympics Quali. In this field Austria`s most successful weightlifter Sarah Fischer from ACU Krems “.
When tearing he started with a valid lift at 170 kg, for the second attempt he increased to 174 kg, again a valid attempt. Sargis could no longer make the 177 kg in the third attempt valid. With 174 kg Sargis Martirosjan secured the silver medal in the snatch. What we couldn’t see in the live stream was that Sargi’s elbow was already swollen.
The “AUS” came in the push. What happened, after the tearing, the elbow was swollen so much, we tried warming up to 120 kg, but the pain was too great. We had to start the competition with 190 kg, so coach Langthaler also suspects: “A bad bursitis that started during the night. Very painful”.
