Zacharevich is the best in 100-110 category of all time, i saw in the background a big poster like instrospective album of petshopboys

I love that Zakharevich came to lift big weights and he was not going to take any intermediate steps in the clean and jerk to lock in the medal. All or nothing. What a boss.

It would have been amazing to see Botev in 88, but Bulgaria had to withdraw due to multiple AAF. He claimed to have cleaned 270kg in training that year.

Botev said that he never tried 270kg, because it was to risky

@@PazurjonFalse! Coach Ivan Abadzhiev told him to not lift 270 because it was risky. Botev was ready for c&j 270 during the time. He would’ve beat Z

Another good one! Thanks mate

Great video Gabriel 💪

Love it so much free knowledge. Love hearing you personal experience as you break down the athletes lifts.

Thanks for the analysis Gabriel.

Your advice is priceless!

Love listening to your commentary on these competitions. Gabriel, you are one of the greatest lifters of all time and everyone should know it

Great analysis

Nico Vlad was also a beast

Zakharevich - one of the best ever! Similar to Suleymanoglu and Lasha in their categories. I wonder what do you think of Akkaev? He never became so famous, yet did 210 kg snatch in training at 105...

if you are talking about 88 olympics, the best one was Naim Suleymanoglu. Naim lifted 3x times his body weight + 10 kg. best one is always Naim. lifted 190kg. in 60kg comp.

Another great, next to Vardanyan 😊

I've just realized that I didn't know shit about weightlifting. Excellent review! Zakharevich was the GOAT!

It would have been so much better if Bulgarian Botev was there. Unfortunately Bulgaria pulled out after the 75 kg class.

To think he broke several records after dislocated his elbow 5 years previous was unbelievable

Agreed. I could never figure that out. Same with Nasar now.

Your snatch is the best

Hi Gabriel! What do you think about the contact that Zakharevich makes in the snatch? From the video it looks like it is on the thighs and not the hips. I thought it was standard to do the contact in the snatch in the hips. Do you think that he can get away with this because he is strong ?

Contact on the thighs was how it was done back then. The hip contact started to be used in the late nineties I believe. Talcum powder used to be used on the thighs to stop the bar dragging when thigh contact was used. Problem was the talc fell onto the platform making it slippery so it was banned. This might be why the hip contact became popular. It doesn’t seem to have helped anyone lift more judging by this video.

It amazes me how little emotion Zakharevich showed after snatching 210. I was actually surprised when he winced after he got enough of the smelling salts.

Sportsmen and women over the past 20 years have tried to “put on a show” by wildly celebrating success. Back in the day they had more focus prior to lifting.

His power position was hight on the quads , not the hips ..

In my opinion, he's the best weightlifter ever

Between him and Vardanyan.

Something about his elbows looks bent even when he fully extends them. I hope it never effected his judging.
