History of Olympic Weightlifting
The Lift Up project is brought to you by chidlovski.com.
To Georges E. Melki:
The 200 Snatch, 250 CJ and 450 Total lists were published as an article in 2004 with no plans and commitments for updates. Besides sensational results of Lasha Talakhadze, there are many athletes that were able to bypass the 200/250/450 results since 2004. It's a great idea to track them. If you have these lists available, please considers sharing it for publication at Lift Up with a credit to the author(s).
Thanks,
Arthur Chidlovski
The 200 Snatch, 250 Clean&Jerk and 450 Total lists need to be updated! Since 2009, the Lasha Talakhadze phenomenon appeared on the world weightlifting scene, and dwarfed all previous records!
Please update these lists.
Thanks.
Just wanted to pass along some info. Gor Minasyan has recently moved to Bahran and won the Asian Championships held the last week or so.
Just to mention that my colleague Paul Tchir has a website dedicated to the oldest living Olympic competitors (including lifters) at www.acsweb.ucsd.edu/~ptchir/
>> Anatoly Pisarenko is out right
>> oldest champion still alive.
Joe Dube (USA) is older than Anatoly Pisarenko. Joe just turned 78. He is the oldest living super heavyweight world champion. He is also a world records author.
Now that Great Yury Vlasov passed away:
LAHDENRANTA is the oldest living super heavy weight lifter setting WR and winning medal at world championship. May God keep him alive and healthy for a long time for his family.
Anatoly Pisarenko is out right oldest champion still alive.
Is it possible to edit a post I made many years ago? Can I contact you by phone?
Thank you.
Lift- Up is great for reviewing the history of Weightlifting during lock-down. Trusting all lifters wash their hands with soap between lifts and stay well. This is a sport where social distancing is easy to achieve.
