Lasha Talakhadze: How to conquer Olympus / Preparation for #Tokyo2020
We had a unique opportunity and went to the Georgian Olympic weightlifting team, which has already started its performances in Tokyo. We filmed a whole day of training of Georgian athletes, where they focused on the preparation of the strongest person on the planet, Lasha Talakhadze. The main question: will Lasha lift total 500 kg, we cannot give an exact answer. So, watch the video and share your thoughts!
