Sad news came from our friends in Shakhty, Russia. Valily Alexeeev, one of the most memorable legends of world sports, died today. He was 69. I am very sad and speechless.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess we will never see Razoryonov ever again since was also disqualified in Beijing 2008 due to illegal use of anabolic steroids. Besides that, he is 33+ years old. By the way, I like the new additions to the videos that show recent European and World championships. I never get tired of watching old clips from the 60's. I just wish there were more clips available somehow from the Munich '72 Olympics competition which I had the chance of watching in person. Thanks for all your efforts.

to mr. rodriguez: ferenz gyurcovic and igor razoryonov placed 2 and 6 accordingly in the 105kg class at the 2004 Olympics. however, both failed the drug test and their results were disqualified. there is an article i wrote about this and other episodes when the results were erased from the olympic competitions because of the doping control.

I WAS BROWSING THRU PAST OLYMPIC FILMS AND FOUND A MISTAKE ON YOUR RECORDS IN THE HEAVY WEIGHT CLASS OF THE ATHENS SUMMER GAMES. FERENCE GYORKOVIC FROM HUNGARY WAS SILVER AT THE 105 KILO CLASS IN ATHENS WITH 195KG SNATCH AND 225KG C&J. PISARESKY FROM RUSSIA DID NOT MEDAL, HE HAD 190KG SNATCH AND 225KG C&J. RAZORYONOV, FROM THE UKRAINE, IS SHOWN IN SECOND PLACE BUT HE WAS WAS THE BRONCE MEDALIST WITH 190KG SNATCH AND 230KG C&J. SECOND AND THIRD WERE TIED AND DECIDED BY BODYWEIGHT. THE PODIUM PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THE MEDALISTS IN THEIR CORRECT POSITIONS WITH BERESTROV FROM RUSSIA IN GOLD, GYORKOVIC FROM HUNGARY IN SILVER AND RAZORYONOV FROM UKRAINE IN BRONZE. THANKS.

Thanks, Kristina. The site has been updated. It is very sad to hear that Mr. Salter is no longer with us. Condolences from the Lift Up and weightlifting community go to his family and friends.

Regards,

Arthur

Allen Salter passed away last week. My father, Thomas Curran, who used to compete with him, posted the details on Allen's page. Please add Allen to your In Memoriam section.

There was no World Championship in 1967 and it was replaced by pre-olympic competition in Mexico City. Would you please publish the results from that competition if you have it? You can call it the 'The Lost Year' or 'They were not called Champs'!

Thanks,
GHM

I remember reading a letter sent to Doug Hepburn by a then young unknown Paul Anderson asking Doug to help him with his training. This started a series of letters between Paul and Doug. I also recall when Doug came back from winning the World Championship he mentioned the Russians had offered him a job coaching their lifters on strength training. The 'cold war' was on and he quickly refused the offer.

Hepburn's legacy is that he developed the system which is the basis of strength training today (sans drugs). For that he should surely be in
Lift Up's 'Hall of Fame'.
