Put a kilt on Yuri,and then tell me it isn't Rowdy Roddy Piper,the great wrestler from the WWF.

@laiosto Roddy was/is actually a couple inches taller. Seen side by side, facial differences are obvious. Don't know what Rod could have lifted. He would have jerked way less than this Russian snatched. Way less!

@skirts365 Humour is obviously not your strong point.Stick to somethimg you are good at,like checking if a dozen eggs are the same thing as 12 eggs.

@laiosto I said nothing funny. You said something idiotic. Wrestling is not weight lifting. You are in no position to suggest I have a perspective problem. Why don't you ask Piper if he thinks he could have kept pace with this Russian's lifts instead of presenting yourself as a boorish asshole? I don't see anyone else here disagreeing with my observations, and if they follow lifting, they won't. Piper was not a lifter and kilts are not part of Olympic weight lifting.

@skirts365 Fuck you are a dumb cunt.Is English your native language?You have managed to mis-understand every thing I have said.I have a sense of humour,YOU don't.I know Rodney can't snatch or C & Jerk.He bears a physical resemblence to Yuri,hence my light-hearted observation.You are a literal,humourless twat who should re-insert your head up your anus ,at least until you can work out when people are being facetious or whether they should be taken literally.Goodbye dickhead.

@laiosto I hope you are as uselessly rude and irrational in person as you are in cyberspace, for sure someone will teach you a severe, painful lesson---an off duty policeman, perhaps. Blocking you as a user because vermin are excluded.

In the old TV "Superstars" competition there were pro footballers struggling to do 275 pounds off racks. What a sensational phenomenon of explosive athletic power this Russian Bear was!!

[skirts365]

I think he could have succeeded with the 251 had he taken it first instead of the 245 and this has happened with other great lifters who threw their load of energy on weights slightly lighter than what they could have done had they not tried things like going six for six.

i think it's more a case of if he had needed 251 to win he would have slammed it but he was soooo far ahead after the snatch i mean 20kg would have not been possible to make up especially against the record holder in the c+j so when he jerked 245 he had already won and didn't feel the pressure to do it so effectively could not be bothered!

great!
