  • Certainly this has to rank up there with one of the greatest performances in weightlifting history. Maybe it would help if we translated it to pounds. Remember, Guenchev was lifting here in the lightweights: that's a bodyweight of 148 lbs. He snatched a WR 352.5 and clean & jerked a WR 446 lbs. Unfortunately he was disqualified for drugs, so it meant nothing. Keep in mind that the 352 snatch was the weight the immortal Rigert missed 3 times at Munich '72, weighing 50 lbs. more!

  • Whoa... Abadjiev looks young in this video! still absolutely no celebration or display of emotion when one of his lifters makes a world record... just has that disgusted look etched permanently on his face.

    haha indeed!

  • For me, this is the 2nd best performance of all-time in the history of weightlifting, bested only by Suleymanoglu's efforts the day before. Legendary stuff right here.

    That, and a being a genetically gifted athlete doing a 20-50 hour training week continuously for 10-20 years.

  • God steroids are great.

  • Look at the vertical jump at 2:48 more demonstration of fabulous leg power. Furosemide, a diuretic to make weight, was the transgression. The only physical stats listed are weight and age. Too bad. Height to weight ratio is interesting too.

  • wow

  • @mikeyburger1 not fair,and why is that?
