Blast from the Past …
This one is from the 1983 “Rekordmeeting am Langbathsee” in Austria.
Features Bulgarians like:
- Stefan Topurov snatching 135kg (competing above 60kg).
- Naim Suleymanoglu (Suleymanov back in the day) snatching 130.5kg and clean & Jerking 165.5kg at 56kg for new world records.
- Antonio Krastev Snatching 190kg and Clean & Jerks 250kg (new Bulgarian record)
- Zdravko Stoichkov (75kg) Clean & Jerked 210.5kg (WR) at 21:30!
Thanks to Roberto for sending this in.
I’ve seen this before it’s lovely. The whole setup in the training room with the spectators so close could have felt like club concerts. Of course the guys were also not too bad 🙂
Nice “stage”. The requirements pre-89/91 seem rather wild nowadays.
Also, Stoichkov 210.5 is at 21:30.
Thanks!
That was a WR as well btw.
