My DEEPEST respect! As a bulgarian i feel no rivalry to this guy, in fact he's my favourite athlete. Wrist surgery, knee injury, still manages to get bronze in 2004 - 175 Snatch, 202.5 C&J, what more can I say ? This guy is the best weightlifter in my eyes, having 4 consecutive olympic medals including 3 golds and 1 bronze...

Very well said. That final bronze was very close to being his 4th gold as well. If he had made that final jerk. My favorite moment is when he sits up, scoots forward to say goodbye to the bar. I can't believe no one else has ever made more of a moment out of that image. It's the best weightlifter of all time saying goodbye to the greatest sport in the world.

Even with a Bronze Medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Pyrros Dimas is one of few Olympic Weightlifters to win a medal at four Olympics Games.

I see him a lot at A3 Performance gym in Grayslake IL. His daughter Maria trains there and he helps Coaches Mike Gattone, David Ester and Casey Knuth (owner) with the Forza weightlifting team. Pretty laid back guy for winning all those medals.

Thank you for this video.What an athlete. Pyrros Dimas always an inspiration. Greatest of all time.All the best to you Pyrros.

The man, the legend! No seriously, all his lifts are fucking amazing, never stops being impressive, long live Pyrros!

Holy fuck never thought i'd be this emotional to watch a pre workout video, thank you for this montage.

Thank you so much for this. I basically started weightlifting because of this video 4 months back. Now my dream is to become a professional weightlifter and I don't think I have ever been so passionate about anything in my life before.

At the final attempt not only he sits and say goodbye to the bar but then he put off his shoes and leave it aside. I think you should edit that too in the very beautyfull video of yours. That move was the true respect to his sport and the declaration of his full cyrcle as an athlete.

Thanks for your appreciation, even after all these years. I'm aware of the tradition of leaving the shoes on the platform, unfortunately, I never saw any footage of him doing that. I had planned to leave my own shoes on a platform back then, but I haven't been able to do much competing in the past few years. Currently, I'm hoping to give it another run, but we'll see. A couple of surgeries on the horizon. Wish me luck, and thanks again.

heki koka For the Uneducated people out there.. Pyrrhus ( Ancient Greek: Πύρρος, Pyrrhos; 319/318-272 BC) was a Greek general and statesman of the Hellenistic period. He was king of the Greek tribe of Molossians, of the royal Aeacid house (from c. 297 BC) and later he became king of Epirus (r. 306-302, 297-272 BC). He was one of the strongest opponents of early Rome. Some of his battles, though successful, caused him heavy losses, from which the term Pyrrhic victory was coined. He is the subject of one of Plutarch's Parallel Lives. PYRROS DIMAS was born in 1971 in Himara, southern Albania (Northern Epirus), to ethnic Greek parents. So he is Greek straight from wikipedia!! Everything else is BULLSHIT FROM ALBANIANS WHO WISH HE WAS ALBANIAN... BUT I AM SORRY ...HE IS NOT...HE IS 100% GREEK! END OF DISCUSSION!!

Indeed, deepest respect!

When Pyrros participated in the Athens Olympics he tried to get a golden medal for the fifth continuous time in olympics. Unfortunately he didn't make it and he got the bronze medal. But I am sure that his most rewarding moment was exactly that medal. Since these Olympics participation was the last , the audience greek and foreign cheered him for Eight (8)!!!! continuous minutes, making the medal award ceremony impossible to continue!!!!. Everybody in Greece and weight lifting fanatics where crying. I still have wet eyes when I remember this...
