The Bulgarian athletes scored a brilliant performance at this year's European Weightlifting Championships and earned 19 medals. This country earned 7 total result medals (three gold, three silver and one bronze). Nadezhda Nguyen, Angel Rusev and Stilyan Grozdev won gold medals, Ivana Petrova, Karlos Nasar and Hristo Hristov earned silver medals and Valentin Genchev won a bronze medal.
