Meanwhile in the Ukraine …
Here is Dmytro Chumak’s 227kg Clean and Jerk (at 93.7kg bodyweight) from Ukraine Nationals.
In the competition the 24 year old also Snatched a whopping 183kg for a 410kg Total. This is the highest 94kg Total in competition so far this year. Full Results on Polska.
He entered the 2014 Worlds Start List with a 390kg Total.
Update 04.11.2014: According to the Ukrainian federation site he is not going to worlds. Yaroslav Chernyshov will take the 94kg spot.
Thanks to Sergiy for the video.

Wow! Never heard of this guy before. Nice to see another strong contender in the 94s
I should have waited with my predictions a bit longer :)))
haha, exactly my thoughts 😀
I’ve got the impression that this result will turn into around 175/217 at the worlds. Hope to be wrong, but the Ukrainian athletes tend to lose a lot when going abroad.
Wasn’t Artem Ivanov Ukranian? He did pretty good in international competition (nowhere near his national competition though of course)
He is now in Russia. Moved from Crimea after the russian-ukranian conflict. It’s quite a serious situation here in Europe.
good for him…better to be lifting weights than getting blown up. He’s a talent #2 behind Illin at Worlds in Paris. Looked like if he’d been smarter with his attempts he might have won.
Yes, Ivanov was ukranian and put that insane 420 total in 2012. Unfortunately he got injured before London and we never got to see how real that was 🙁
perfect jerk! incredible.
That jerk was pure gold.
Wow! That was one of the nicest lifts I’ve seen in a while. Hopefully he can pull out a solid performance next week.
He competed at Junior Worlds in 2008 (142+174) and 2010 (150+180) as a 85. He also got 170+215 at 94 last year at nationals winning the first place. Looks like he hasn’t competed internationally since 2010, so we will see what he can show. He is also 24 years old.
