The guy who squatted 300 x 2 is Stefan Botev - two times World Champion in the + 110 kg category - behind him sitting on the bench you can see Antonio Krastev - another legendary lifter
No more government support... So no more World and olimpic champions... As simple as that... That is the way it is... This footages gathers the Best lifters in those days... Leaded by the late Iván Abadziev... Enjoy....
Zlatev probably weighed more than 82.5 kg here, but if he weighed exactly that, then this clean and jerk would be within 0.72 of the Sinclair Naim made with his clean and jerk in Seoul.
@@JUNGLEsausageangel guenchev llift 202,5 at 67,5 ... This is unthinkable for the history of the sport! No men ever will lift that amount of weight 3x body weight at category over 60kg ... Angel was 67,5 .. the best lift ever by far no matter that they catch him with doping .. everyone use but no one is even close to him!!! Even Naim cuz he is too light!
Anyone wishing to know the lifts on the full length video can see them at the Takano Athletics website on the blog page. Check the December 2009 file, and go to the December 8 blog. Enjoy! Bob
@weightliftingisgreat lol it was top secret! to that moment! It was covered by the Bulgarian National Security (something like KGB or CIA, but bulgarian service), sounds in Bulgarian DS. So DS end in '89 but the cases were still top secret, until today, with partial declassification few times in last years.
And bodybuilders / powerlifters seem to need Tom , dick and harry to spot them for a squat like that with a bunch of back slapping and bad music going full noise . Olympic lifters are kings of the iron world !
