Armenia’s Garik Karapetyan lifted 183 kg in the snatch but missed two clean-and-jerk attempts at 217 kg and withdrew from his third because of an injury.
Garik Karapetyan finished his World Weightlifting Championships appearance in Ningbo, China, without a combined total after recording no successful clean-and-jerk lift. The Armenian weightlifter is a three-time European champion, with titles in 2023, 2025 and 2026.
Karapetyan’s opening snatch of 183 kg was his only successful attempt in that exercise. He then missed two attempts at 188 kg. In the clean and jerk, he missed both attempts before an injury prevented him from taking his final lift, Armsport said. He received a zero in the clean and jerk and no combined result.
The Armenian Weightlifting Federation had listed Karapetyan in Group A of the 110 kg category. He won the European title in that category in Batumi on 25 April 2026, following earlier European golds in April 2023 and April 2025.
Armenia’s Varazdat Lalayan totaled 457 kg in the men’s over-110 kg final. Iraq’s Ali Rubayawi won with 466 kg, while Iran’s Alireza Yousefi took silver with 458 kg and set a 263 kg clean-and-jerk world record, Armsport said.
