Seems that Bikov was born in 1952, and thus was 20 when won the gold medal at the Olympics in Munchen - http://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/bi/yordan-bikov-1.html - He partecipated at the WC in 1970 and 1971, placing fifth in both, and earned a gold medal in the clean & jerk, his strongest lift, in 1971. Very strong athlete, he deserves a post, nevertheless he did 2.5kg less than Kurentsov 4 yrs before....
