 Rio 2016: Briken Calja up in 5th place after Artykov resulted positive

Calja Briken got in fifth place in the world for the weight 69 kg in the Olympic Games Rio 2016. 

This is because the weightlifter from Kyrgyzstan, Izat Artykov, who came third in this category, resulted positive in doping test, after using forbidden substance. 

This is thus the first doping case in this Olympiad. Sport Court has disqualified the athlete immediately by removing the bronze medal, and this medal goes for the Colombian Lozano.

From this movement has benefited the Albanian weightlifter, Calja Briken Calja who finished the race in 6th place and now he is up in the fifth place. A very good result for Albanian weightlifting and indeed for our sport in this Olympiad.
