    what's the big deal? He failed at the last one, why does he get a Gold? This doesn't seem like very much weight, he's kinda small. Maybe they have different rules down there? whole lotta commotion for nothing. Lets see this guy play in the NFL

    By the way his coach with the white hair is the great Bulgarian coach Gancho Karushkov who discovered Naim, Zlatev , Topurov , Pashov to name a few , worked alongside the other great Abadjiev, and after created the weightlifting team of Columbia from scratch.
    Sadly he passed away 3 years ago.

    I personally like the silver win more than the gold one, it was a come back of all come backs. The gold one was the icing on the cake for sure though
