While we’re waiting for the London Olympics to begin Frank Rothwell is busy uploading the 2000 Olympics weightlifting events.
Starting with the +105kg snatch.
The existing snatch world record was broken 3 times. First by Ashot Danielyan (207.5 kg, he later tested positive for steroids), Ronny Weller (210kg) and Hossein Rezazadeh (212.5kg).
7 people snatching 200kg or more. Top 5 super heavies opened with 250kg on the C&J.
Hope it doesn’t take another 12 years for this year’s Olympics to appear on YouTube.

Clean & Jerk
I still believe that if Chemerkin wouldn’t have sprinted up the stage he would have had enough power for the 272.5kg c&J.
Will add the other videos as they trickle in.
