I would have BROKEN DOWN if I were in his position. Fulfilling a promise you made to someone before they passed is the best feeling. You didn’t let them down, you didn’t give up, you did it for them.

He looked up and said "Im doing this for you." She looked down and smiled as she reached down to grab the bar, lifting, "No, I am doing this for you."

The human race can be cruel, disgusting and oftentimes cold. But there are some humans that outshine all the negative and bring hope to the rest of us. This person is one such example, the indomitable human spirit is truly a beautiful thing

He went from crushing realization in to full bliss raving happy in 1s after the lift. That's power of love. He was reconciled with his promise to his love. This amazing to get to witness.

This makes me cry every time I see it 😭

The power of love is unbeatable! Well done dude.

Very inspiring 😢❤

So happy for him. You can tell how determined he was to make that promise 🥺

One of my favorite Olympics stories. She’d be proud king 👑

Proof that achieving goals through hard work is much more satisfying

That is absolutely beautiful.

True love. True devotion and superhuman effort. Bravo Mathias !

He took third times the charm to a whole other level for his wife proud of him for that 🫡🫡

My heart broke to atoms size when i saw that he used his picture, he could have gathered any well printed or framed nicely, but no, he got the one that they had in the room, so touching it really brought tears. ❤🎉

Unvergessliche Momente einzigartige Erinnerungen ❤

Probably the best sports moment of all time

No matter what country you're in this really does bring a huge smile on anyone's face❤❤

When someone that truly loves you passes, the strength of their love will carry you for the rest of your days and will never fade

I literally cry every time i see this

I will never forget this moment! I bawled then and I bawl every time I see the footage again.

I couldn't imagine losing the one I love. She is my rock, my foundation and everything that is meaningful to me in the world.

And the fact that he had to his last try on a heavier weight to win it all

The angels from above helped him with that last lift!

Beautiful, heartwarming.

This is the kind of strength people truly admire. Well done, your wife is proud, sir.

Legend says, his passed wife was dancing and crying on the podium silently...she was so happy for him which is more than worth of diamond or gold.... & Yes, love is priceless ❤

This is heartwarming warms my heart

Sport offers so many beautiful moments, it's very sad and very beautiful at the same time.

I can actually feel his joy.

His wife gave him the remaining strength he needed ❤

Thats beauty of love and duality of life, love can make you reach mountaintops but also destroy you. Same with losing love but its up to you what you will do with those emotions, let them consume you or forge them in something great.

I love that this shows up in my feed every now and then. Gives me goosebumps every time

Dude his face after he drops the bar…. I can’t imagine the release of emotions he felt

Mad respect! Thats true love for someone

I NEVER thought I would be SO moved watching a Power Lifter.... 💔💖🙏🏻 Sooooo heartwarming!! 💖

I remembered watching this live. It was very emotional and just awesome!!!

what a moment. no matter where you from, you wanted this guy to win. incredible.
