What an incredible snatch technician Ronny Weller was, he's was so quick for a super!

Ronny Weller was so aggressive in both the snatch and especially C&J Awesome and impressive to see

This Olympics 2000 Sydney WeightLifting Class Men's +105kg definitely the strongest ever competition as the Result for 7 Athlete more than 450kg Total was hard to achieved nowadays in SuperHeavyWeight Class .At least 205 Snatch and 245 CleanAndJerk both combined 👍

And only 4 of them snatched 205 or more! The CJ segment back then was WAY better than today if you look away from Lasha!

@@barath4545 Basicly Lasha was Snatcher ,His Clean&Jerk was improved Couple Years Ago around from 2015 till Now as he increased his BodyWeight .At Sydney 2000 ,This 105kg+ Competition was Rough at Clean&Jerk as Many from Them was Clean&Jerk Setter

I was there in the crowd at Darling Harbour around 20 rows back from the stage towards the middle. It was an absolute treat to watch these men handle such weights overhead. Even though Rezazadeh won, to me the stand out with incredible power was Weller from Germany. He through the weights up like they were filled with helium! Amazing.

Great video, great competition, big weights lifted and pretty tight. They were all pushing each other. I bet the coaches back stage were frantically changing lift amounts as the mind games start backstage. Brilliant to watch, Chemerkin going after 272.5 kg is amazing to see. Imagine if he made it. Huge C+J, R weller was a great competitor aswel, shame wee dont get this kind of battle now in the super heavies. Lasha has to follow himself for 3 lifts. I hope the super heavies get like this again with 6 or so lifters going big as its so close, taking nothing away from lasha offcourse, he is awesome. I so hope he does the golden 500. 230 snatch, 270 C+J. Or 232 snatch and 268 C+J. Would stand for years, +years+years. Really hope he does it. The only thing i worry about is he has to follow himself for 3 lifts which may just work against him if he is totally maxed out at what weight he does in search of that magical 500 kg total. What history that would be. Super heavies turning up to events and looking up to the screen seeing, Snatch WR-230 kg Lasha Talahadze. + C+J WR-270 kg Lasha Talahadze. + Total WR-500 kg Lasha Talahadze. Just awesome.

W.N.A You are priceless !!! thank you sir.

Did my mans really yelled Yabba-Dabba-Doo! with 210 kg overhead?!

The most historical competition in weightlifting

Chemerkin was maybe strongest weightlifter ever, that technique is so brutal.

I had no idea this competition was that close. Damn. Always thought Rezazadeh was a one of a kind lifter at the time.

somebody please correct me, this is the first and unique time that 3 competitors lifted 260, the last one was insane 272.5 and maybe whether his CLEAN would have success, other would have the story

Yep, if he had half decent front rack mobility he would defenitely have cleaned it ( shoulder injury IIRC )

Yes, once there were GENADI WEIGHTLIFTING'S official footage of 2000 weightlifting of all weight classes but unfortunately asshole youtube deleted them because of so called copyrights. It has front views and were much better. This footage was recorded from below and can not see the elbow positions. Rezazades 212,5 snatch and Chemerkin's 260 jerk was total press out and would be given 3 red by referees nowadays.

Fierce battle

Just a sick amount of weight. These would be excellent deadlifts for even strong guys.

Can anyone confirm what were the brand of barbells and weights used in those days ? Nowadays it's Eleiko all over. Was werksan around at that time ? Also in the 85kg class for first time someone wearing Reebok shoes whereas nowadays it's mostly Adidas and some Korean and Chinese brands

I'm watching in 2023 that time I was 15, Iran❤

this is amazing, where do you get this footage from?

I digitized it by myself from an VHS tape. I had to luck to borrow a massive VHS tapes collection from the fromer president of hungarian weightlifting federation (and also former vice-president of EWF) dr. Imre László, and he lent me his collection and I digitized it by myself. I've more than 400hours of weightlifting competitions from 1987 to 2002. It will be years while I can post them. But my goal is that to give these footage with a free access to everybody all over the wolrd. And maybe youtube is the best platform for it now.

Weightlifting News Agent Do you have any footage from the Barcelona 1992 82kg weight class, my coach Lifted for Iran in that session but he has never seen the footage. His name is Alreza Azari. Thanks mate.

You should upload the 85kg comp from this angle

Sadly, I don't have that session. What I have about Sydney: Men's 62, 77, 94, 105, +105kg; Women's 69, 75, +75kg + IWF's congress before the competitions, footages about Sydney, olympic village.

I remember watching this live on TV so many years ago. Looking at it today, Chemerkin should have been red lighted for pressing out his jerks.

Good to see coaches and managers of today lifting weights. But I'm disappointed that the Olympic games even in year 2000 couldn't record this properly. There's actually a cameraman in front. Wonder who is hoarding that footage

The fact that 460kg was only good enough for 5th or 6th place makes this competition even better

Chemerkin literally threw away the gold medal!!

Неужели Чемеркин думал что 272 толкнет? Тогда никто не знал,что Даниэляна дисквалифицируют,надо было идти на 265,в надежде зацепиться за бронзу
