Alexandr Kurlovich 215kg Snatch + 266kg Clean & Jerk

January 28, 2013 By Gregor Winter

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:

  • Behdad Salimi’s 215kg Snatch
  • Dmitry Lapikov’s 215kg Snatch
  • Ashot Danielyan 215kg Snatch 262.5kg Clean & Jerk

    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.

    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.
