Hope you all have a good start into the week.
Here is one from the history books I hadn’t posted before.
Alexandr Kurlovich’s 215kg Snatch at the 1989 World Weightlifting Championships.
One of the most amazing lifters who ever walked this planet.
He went 215kg / 245kg in that meet.
And for good measure, here is his red lighted 266kg Clean & Jerk from the 1987 WWC.
Other 215kg Snatchers:
Sick. Looked like he had 2-3 more kilos in him. Much more graceful than Krastevs 216
Jesus; I forgot how fluid this snatch was. I wonder if he ever maxed out more in training.
USSR …
He also got robbed of his 262.5 at the 1989 WWC. Phenomenal lifter!
How much did he weigh? He is so much smaller than the other SHWs.
I’m guessing 130-135kg maybe.
