Yury Zakharevich, 1988 Olympics (p. 1)

Truly a starry night, a dream come through night for Yury Zakharevich. In 1983, he dislocated his left elbow when he tried to break a WR in the snatch. He got his elbow rebuilt with synthetic tendons. His performance at the 1988 Olympics was simply sensational - gold medal in the 110kg class and fantastic results in snatch (195KG, 205KG WR, 210KG WR) and in clean-and-jerk (245KG, 251KG WRx, 251KGWRx). Part 1 covers the snatch part of the competition. Part 2 covers the CJ and medal ceremony.
