I think toughest athlete in the world so far is greko roman wrestler Alexander Karelin. Noone dominated the sport as long as he did. Also legendary armwrestler John Brzenk, who was number one for around 20 years
Zakharevich was the lifter that made me serious about weightlifting, I had watched a few worlds and Olympics and thought it was cool, but nothing blew my mind like when I saw the 88 Olympics 110s on RUclips
I was there at the 1989 Junior world championships in Ft Lauderdale Fl. Weller did 190, 200 and 205 several months later he almost died in a car crash in which his girlfriend died.
Why is the first lift censored ??? Anyway thank you for sharing this video. Sometimes people forget about some lifters because in that era there were so many good competitors.
Nice, God Bless, We hope all good Athletes stay with their people, not to be forced to bow to Dictators, like in Iran, or Russia or other Dictatorship countries, people should realize in Europe, or U.S. you can Compete even if you are against the Government but in other Countries they don't let you join the Olympic or World Championship Events, As an Iranian American who is Against Terrorist Ayatollah's in Iran we Solute all good Athletes , God Bless All Good people and Freedom lovers of the World---- # Mahsa Amini
@@ozwunder69 all the eastern block countries were state sponsored drugged to the hilt, i sat by Stefan Botev when he was 19 when he come to Cardiff, biggest thighs i had ever seen, he broke the jounior snatch world record with what looked like with ease, juhaptergee
Not only did Yuri "feel more tired than usual", his vision was impaired, his urine was black, and he was constantly dizzy, because of the huge doses of st@roids his coaches were giving him. Poor guy, what he went through was insane, especially while still so young.
I hope the youtube algorithm picks this up, this is a really high quality video
Юрий Захоревич-Совеская спортивная Суперзвезда!!!
Мы его вклад в тяжелую атлетику не забываем!!!❤❤❤
Beautiful video mate thanks for putting it together for everyone to enjoy!
I haven’t even watched it and I already know it’s going to be goated
Great video👏👏
Love the line, "to encourage gravity to take a vacation."
Great stuff. Look forward to more

phenomenal video brother. we were robbed of that Botev vs Zacharevich match up at Seoul :(
True but Yuri would have destroyed Botev by 20+ kg in the shape he was in.
If they had faced off, they would have become the 1 and 2 greatest of all time. Which one was which would have been decided that day.
So this is what your voice sounds like!!!!
Thank you so very much for this fascinating video.
Great vid
Appreciate it!
great video, Gabriel Sinclair likes this video, please make a new one with kurlovich
I was literally planning the next one to be about Kurlovich hahaha

Blagoevs 195.5 was done in 1983.. the video here is 195kg from world cup 1982

Great video!

Amazing stuff
babe wake up vintage lifts made a youtube channel
Yes I did do that
Being one of the fee Americans watching, I appreciate the conversion to pounds. Great videos.
Chris Leroux has the footage of 205kg snatch by Weller or used to anyhow
I was there at the 1989 Junior world championships in Ft Lauderdale Fl. Weller did 190, 200 and 205 several months later he almost died in a car crash in which his girlfriend died.
@@williamshine1346 I think he jerked 230kg then did a big jump? 245kg
Phenomenon specimen!!
Exquisite video
Very nice video !!!
Botev did the 250 kg in 1988 ?maybe march.. definitely not 1987
Why is the first lift censored ???
Anyway thank you for sharing this video. Sometimes people forget about some lifters because in that era there were so many good competitors.
3 weightclasses, he had records in the 90 kilo class, they all ended up broken though.
I'm happy this is the first public video you did. Zacharevich really is that amazing. He did an all-time total on his 4th lift.
I meant it more as up to the injury he held records in 2 different weight classes - the 197.5 was actually the first attempt at a 110kg world record
Nice dude!
460 pounds. Thats like grabbing a dozen 40 lb. bags of water softening salt. Many people would struggle to pick up one bag in each hand.
