  I think so.
  
  Can somebody fresh up my memory. Why didn’t he compete much as super heavyweight? Was it injures or doping bans?

    Doping ban after 2011 EC

    in my eyes lapikov is one of the best snatchers of all time…his 210*2 are even more impressive and his technique is outstanding.
    but there is another video of a 217kg-snatch:

Except for losing balance as he stood up, it looked pretty easy for him.

I think that chrome plate is the old 1,25 kg so it’s probably 217,5? What a pity he didn’t do it in a competition!
