DIMAS – Part Five – From Athlete to Myth from David Boffa on Vimeo.
Pyrros talks about the Sydney & Athens Olympics, his rivalry with Giorgi Asanidze and struggling with injuries as an aging athlete.
For example how a month before Athens he underwent knee surgery and which then played a role in him injuring his wrist and having to get injections during the competition!
Oh and he also mentions …

Watch the Other Parts:
290 front squat, a huge number for a 85 kg. That’s why he always recovered so easy in the clean
190 snatch at 92?!!!!
Amazing squat numbers, it’s gonna be interesting to see what happens with team USA in the future, given the talent they have and the quality coaching they are recruiting.
This was a great series. To the producers, many many thanks. The human interest aspect behind competition weightlifting is a rich and rarely glimpsed store of awesome stories.
More please.
