Once a Lifter, Always a Lifter

January 7, 2012 By Gregor Winter

Former 82.5kg lifter Ibragim Samadov still got it.

145 kg jerk at age 44.

On a side note: At the 1992 Olympics

Ibragim Samadov (EUN) was disqualified after he threw his medal onto the podium and walked out of the medal ceremony. The IOC decided not to award the medal to fourth-place finisher  Chon Chol Ho (PRK) as Samadov’s offence had not been committed in the context of the competition. (via)
