Karapetyan marched out to a 10-kg lead in the snatch, finishing with 170 kg, and Martirosyan settled for second place with a best lift of 160 kg.

The Armenian one-two continued in the clean and jerk: Karapetyan finished with an impressive 197 kg, 5 kg ahead of Martirosyan.

B-session sensation Dumitru Captari (Romania) went five-for-six, bagged all three bronze medals and finished with a 348-kg total, 4 kg behind Martirosyan.
