If you go to picture 20/37 on his gallery, you will see a picture of Oksen Mirzoyan, Yurik Vardanyan and Yurik Sarkisyan. I'm not good at uploading pictures and I'm not sure if this picture can be uploaded, but if it can, this picture basicly perfectly sums up the Soviet Armenian weightlifting era.


 * That picture is priceless! Unfortunately it's not in public domain and can't be uploaded to here. Maybe we can try the use it under fair use category for informational purposes.-- Ե րևանցի ասելիք կա՞  15:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Note that Rafael Chimishkyan is not as well known because he's technicly a Georgian. So Vardanyan was Armenia's first weightlifting olympic champion even though he isn't the first Armenian to become an olympic weightlifting champion.--TheShadowCrow (talk) 21:57, 20 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure, but as of now I just added only those athletes who competed for Armenia. Maybe later we can add the list of Soviet Armenian ones.-- Ե րևանցի ասելիք կա՞  15:55, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

I couldn't find the 1992, 1993 and 1996 medalists, but other than that, the European medalists should be up to date now. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 23:03, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

And I checked all the world and Olympic championships for you and can also confirm they are completely up to date. The only thing that could be changed is if you want to mention Danielyan's stripped medal. --TheShadowCrow (talk) 23:38, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
