IT WAS FUN TO SEE FOLDI GET AN OLYMPIC CHAMPIONSHIP AFTER TWO NEAR MISSES IN TOKYO AND MEXICO CITY. IN MEXICO HE LOST TO NASIRI AFTER BEING IN FRONT AND FORCING NASIRI TO LIFT A WORL RECORD 150 KILOS IN THE C&J. ALMOST THE SAME THING HAPENNED IN MUNICH AFTER FOLDI WAS IN FRONT BY 7.5 KILOS AFTER THE SNATCH. NASSIRI WAS FORCED TO TRY TO EQUAL HIS OWN WORLD RECORD BUT HE WAS NOT EVEN CLOSE IN THE CLEAN. FOR FOLDI, THE THIRD TIME WAS THE CHARM. HE WAS A MODEL OF CONSISTENCY DURING HIS LONG CAREER AND NEVER FAILED TO MEDAL IN INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION. THE PUBLIC IN ATTENDANCE THAT NIGHT IN MUNICH WERE ALL HIGHLY ENTHUSIASTIC BY THE FOLDI WIN. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE HIM WIN.
