ahhh the infamous medal refusal...

After he refused to take home the bronze, he was banned from weightlifting for the rest of his life.

Such a shame Morgan never got an Olympic medal, he's a damn fine commentator though.

So many in these audiences are not applauding everyone one of these fantastic athletes... It's like they can not grasp the amount of work they've invested.

Dear Sir, do you happen to have by any chance a copy of 1992 Olympic Games Men Weightlifting 75Kg ? I guess you uploaded it a few years ago and i watched it online, it was being comented by a russian voice. but now as i try to find it, i can't see it anywere around the web. I would deeply appreciate your help if i could find it again. Thank you!

Aleksei, how is Sergei, i believe he was in Australia in Jan 1985, did he ever beat Arsamarkov? if so which competitions, he almost won the 1987 WWC

I like Pyros Dimas, the Gold Medalist and Olympic Champion for weightlifting.

didn't know that, puts him in an entirely different light

25 years later i would like to hear Samadov's version about his medal refusal...

@jernmyre definately

Do you have a source on that? It's known as one of the most unsportsmanlike moments in modern Olympic history for a reason; Samadov was given a chance to explain himself yet was unable to do so, which is why it was officially stripped from him.

14:07 shows Marc Huster in 7th place. Was he in the B-group back then?

9:19 the goat of burglar, this guy and former fifa president are the best in they do

If Russian did that 207.5. I am sure Dimas would have done 207.5, devil he was.

Варданян у них бы на одной ноге выиграл, 222,5 толчок в 1980!!!

pity Kunev got injured attempting weights the bulgar team forced him to prove fitness above that of Braitochev (BUL) in order to make team

Sergei Lee still lives in fromer Soviet Kyrgyz Republic, he has two daughters and one grandchild =) Yes, in 1985 he was in Australia, and he got silver! About Arsamakov...they could meet in one official competition, so he did beat Israil Arsamakov in 1987 USSR championship: Sergei Lee (8:40 - 9:50 min) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m96DZ9Bjs6rFg3U.html

Olympics 1992 WeightLifting in Men's -82,5kg Class definitely the only one as the Winner until 8th place just 7,5 kg deficit and Ibrahim Samadov Medal Refusal was the only History ever an Athelete refuse the Medal and he ended up Disqualification and the Bronze Medal finally didn't given to 4th place

dont forget to add WWW

Initially Sergei Lee was number one in 82.5 kg class of United team, not Samadov. Actually Lee should have been making a protest =)

Well for what its worth... he's Russian... competing in weightlifting... in the 90s... 💉💪😅

Wow that was shitty of the Russian. I do think that the Greek got favorable judging, as the announcer kept saying his arm was bent. He kept the weight up with a bent arm and it was like the judges just felt like giving it to him even tho his arm wasn't completely locked on at least 2 lifts. He didn't even squat down as far on some lifts, especially on his last lift he failed, he didn't go down at all which is why they red lighted the lift. I think the Russian refused because of his ego and not because of the judging. At any rate he didn't even have silver, he was behind the pole fair and square.

Pyrros Dimas is greek.He always was!Albanian-greek doesent exist!His father is greek his mother is greek his name is greek!!
