Looking forward to seeing these two compete against each other again. But I could tell Lasha was in a lot of pain from his knees.
9:04 860kg💪
The 2000 Sydney Olympics +105kg session was by far the strongest battle ever, when looking at the whole competition. 5 lifters totaled 460kg or more. No other superheavy session has been that competitive.

Thank you weightlifting house for all that you guys do. The commentary and inside videos are priceless
Wow! 860kg snatch in the training hall! 😮
500kg was eyed by Antonio way back in 1987 when he had done 222.5 + 270 in training, and even heaved 227.5 up on straight arms only to lose it behind. Do you remember the World Weightlifting Magazine pre-1988 Olympic Games article? "Krastev's next goal: 500kgs!"
Hey weightlifting house. Can you make a video on the evolution of each lifts wrs from the 1800's to Lasha. Maybe even covering some other lifts that used to be on Olympic Weightlifting like the one arm snatch or the clean and press. Should be a great series!
very sad to see Lasha injure his knee. Hoping for a full recovery!
Well you certainly know how to hype up weight lifting I'll tell you that. Had my face glued to the video till the last second.
I love your channel, thank you!
love the story telling. I'm dont watch olympic lifting but this was entertaining
I keep saying it's a great day for being a fan of the sport. Lasha is a once in a generation guy for sure but now we have someone who has the ability to push him. It's the same as watching Michael Jordan back in the day. Some of us got to witness the greatest NBA player ever. We're very fortunate.
Looking at this, you'd think Lasha is old and washed, but he's actually 29 years old. Gor is 28. There's plenty of action left in these guys. Also, the voiceover repeats itself towards the end, still a great video tho.
Insane vid🔥
Uff this was intense!!! Great battle video
I feel blessed to be able to watch these great athletes compete. I kind of feel for Lalayan despite his achievement he's always been in the shadow of Lasha. If nothing changes, I'm coming to Paris 2024 to see it live!
860 snatch is pretty crazy
That 860 kg snatch was pretty impressive to say the least.
Brilliant video!
This is getting very exciting!!
I like the contrast of Lasha in the front and the old lady in the back lifting 6:31 😅
What do they EAT in those 2 neighboring (small) countries to be 1st to 3rd strongest in the world? :p
What strong men !! Amazing !!
im a powerlifter but i love watching weightlifting house!
No matter who is second, or third, important who is the best 😎 Don,t pray for his injuries 😜 Lasha is the best ever!!!!!!!🇬🇪❣✊

No disrespect but there is no “battle” as long as Lasha is not seriously injured, and Lasha proved my words last time they faced, as in prematurely proved me right!
These guys are snatching my best deadlifts lol
Could you imagine doing "easy power cleans" at 245 kilos? Mad.
I don’t think we will ever see a 500kg total. Unfortunately, lasha just won’t be in that top shape again he will get a great total in Paris but not close to 500
GOD tier narration
True Media, thanks
What kind of shoes do they use?
Could someone please explain how weight affects lifting capabilities (or point me to an explanation)? It is very confusing to me. I would understand muscle weight, but how is the 100kg fat bag that Lasha (or any other Heavy WL) is carrying on his belly giving him a competitive edge? Or inversely, if he, by some miracle, went to 7% fat tomorrow without muscle loss, would he be able to lift the same? Thank you.

Pretty sure the belly help with pushing the weight. Also, they cannot go around and doing that much intense training sessions while having even a "normal" 14% body fat percentage. Not enough energy, no matter how much you take anabolic steroids. That's also one of the reason why strongmen are so fat. If by anything, they should be alot leaner in order to have less weight to carry around. But they need that energy. Being 7% body fat would be near suicide, even for the average folk, when it come to olympic weightlifting. You'll just get injured really bad in the first few reps of the first move.
Nobody in the planet ever lifted weight like lasha, and i doubt anybody will do in near future
Never seen 860kg move up so fast. Or at all.
9:04 impressive lift at 860 kg.
You gotta admit, Lalayan's jerks are much snappier than Lasha's.
860 kg snatch at rpe 3 is insane
It would've been soooo cool if Lasha missed his last c&j to let Gor finally get one over Lasha. Idk if we will ever get to see that now
Lasha has admitted to a heart condition. Superb in snatch but not much more than 1988 in c&j. Many many super heavy lifters retired early before full potential and now Lasha with muscle,joint injuries and heart condition will he retire.
I would hate to be that stage every time those weights crash into the floor.
860 lb would already be insane enough, but 860 kg?! Dude could lift the Earth if he just grip the shaft. 😱🌍
It's not 860kg at 9:03. That is 180kg. it's an editing error obviously. It's surprising that almost no one in the comment section knows 1 kg > 1 lbs.. 💀 860 kg would be close to 1900 lbs..!
It seems like the 500 goal is now not on the cards, unfortunately
Wow, what was this kind of injury in April/2022?

I'm not a doctor but from someone who has had 4 knee surgeries possibly a meniscal issue since he didn't take a long time off. But looking at it there is bruising north of the patella so maybe a quadricep muscle/tendon issue. Tears of the major ligaments/tendons or quadriceps muscle would require an extended time away for surgery and rehab. Something like an ACL tear for example is probably a year even for someone like Lasha. Seb said he irritated the other knee due to compensating for the bad one so I would guess maybe some form of knee tendonitis which hurts like hell by the way. Again just a guess off anecdotal experience.

Lalayan is only 23 he still have way to go❤❤❤🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
Lasha might become the “Eddie Hall” of Olympic Weightlifting in being the first ever to achieve the big 500.
Lalayan beating Lasha to the 500kg would be fucking bonkers. And it would be a real shame if it happened because of an injury. EDIT: Damn Lalayan's jerk is FAST. It just *popped* up with that 230.

seems that Gor deserved way more time in this video, he ended up second and Lalayan only third.

860kg snatch?? Eddie Hall : is my 500kg Deadlift a joke to you ?
I always wondered if lasha could stop the helicopter overhead
The King is dead? Long live the King? We shall see.
Love the coverage, and commentary. However, as impressive as these men are, how can they be labeled as the strangest ever? Clearly Naim would win by the sinclair formula.

Great job with the video and the writing and all that, but I personally just don’t see the narrative, Lasha was at the weakest he’s been in over 6 years and he still won Europes and Worlds last year. There is no rivalry as far as I’m concerned

Not telling Lasha what to do , but he might want to cut some weight off that belly. That can’t be easy on the joints. Plus the weights
these superheavyweights are like grizzlies.
