She outshone the second place winner in Snatch, Khurshudyan Hripsime, by a 1 kg lead, and a 2 kg advantage over the third place winner, Rustamova Anamjan.  

As the competition transitioned to Clean and Jerk, Tatev prepared to make her mark again in the second phase of the event and propel herself once again to secure gold. However, the competition intensified as Armenian Khurshudyan Hripsime and Turkmenistan Rustamova Anamjan also prepared to unleash their prowess and strength into their lifts, too.

Unfortunately, Tatev faced an intense competition with these formidable opponents, which eventually pushed her down to a hard-fought third place. At the end of the game, Tatev’s combined efforts in each lift landed her an overall third position, which landed her another well-deserved bronze medal.
