Something not mentioned: after his missed third attempt at 207.5kg, he patted the barbell, walked to the side of the platform to remove his shoes, and then crossed to exit the stage for his last time. A sportsman in the truest sense and a great athlete for a reason.
+Goodatconnect4 Yeah, I don't know why they didn't put that in there, it's an incredibly moving gesture
Proud to have his name
Pyrro Natsis πουλημένος είναι
BILLY PAP lios einai poulimenos??????
As a weightlifter you have a strange relationship of love and respect with a barbell. I’ve never felt it to other things
Still kills me knowing that if he had made the last clean and jerk, he would have won a 4th gold medal due to having the lighter bodyweight
Its even more powerful to know he was competing while recovering from surgery, and he still cleaned, and ALMOST got the jerk. Brings a tear to my eye
And he failed in the attempt before that, he had a wrist problem and leg injury, and was almost crying under the weight, and yet he STILL attempted it, and he almost got it. The spirit is beyond moving. And the fact that he loves his country so much and how winning any medal in front of his people and for his people matters more than a gold, insane.
Not to mention that his 2004 total (377.5) was higher than his 1992 one (370, which won gold medal).

One of the most inspirational and emotional videos I have ever seen...
Thank you all, for making my comment the most liked one.
go see kurt angle olympic medal
Imagine what it must feel like to be a world class athlete, a 4 time Olympian no less, in one of the toughest Olympic sports.
To receive all the adoration he did was thoroughly deserved, just think of all the blood, sweat and tears that occurred behind the scenes. People always forget that nothing comes easy, we see videos like this, see the end itself not the means to the end. He is awe inspiring, I can't imagine what those 4 years in between must've been like for him. 99% of us won't be able to fathom it either. God bless him
Exactly! Hes truly incredible and you can feel all the blood sweat and tears and the time he invested in this
Literacy is alive.
3 GOLD medals 1 BRONZE.. the most decorated weightlifting athlete of all time!! INSPIRATION!!
γεια σου ΠΥΡΡΟ ΓΙΓΑΝΤΑ ! !
I need to say something after watching this inspirational video. I never knew about Pyrros Dimas until today. I almost cried at the end. How many hours of training, passion, patience goes into his work. It's mindblowing. How he even risk he's health to achive bronze medal in front of his nation. He's a living legend and now inspiration to me. Respect and love from Ukraine to the Greek GOD - PYRROS DIMAS! Now I will never forget your name.
He is albanian but went to grees after comunist colapst
Hi is
Greek from north Epirus !!!
The best Greek athlete ever. Thank you Pyrros!

slightly albanian greek athlete
Pete Toshkov However it is a well known fact that Northern Epirus is inhabited by Greeks even though its in Albania.
kozanimacedoniagreece I know him
He is an orthodox Albanian-They brainwashed him in Greece!
I saw him lift in the 2004 Olympics, I remember because the whole arena chanted DIMAS, DIMAS, DIMAS!!! I’ve never seen something like that at any strength event. The house was shaking with DIMAS, DIMAS, HELLA, HELLA!!!
What a beautiful human being. So much respect for him!

My favorite in weightlifting. Pyrros Dimas, you are a great athlete and very dedicated. I wish you had won the gold in Athens 2004 by lifting the last weight. Anyways, you are one of my heroes. No one can replace you. True love from Myanmar
Τίμησες το εθνόσημο όσο τίποτα άλλο!! Είσαι αξέχαστος και υπόδειγμα αθλητή!!
the standing ovation was about 12mins! for 12 mins the crowd was screaming HELLAS and PYRROS! That never hapened for any athlete in olympic games again! There is no bigger honor than a crowd cheering your name, he relived the ancient glory and the true olympic game honor ! he glorified Hellas with his medals, and the Hellas glorified him with stoping the ceremony with standing ovation! Legendary
Not only a Legend but an Excellent Person and family man. A Inspiration for all Young Peopel. Pyrro Thank you.

A true Olympic legend. With an emotional life story, worthy to be told to the next generations. Thank you for the memories Pyrros
θα τον θυμόμαστε ολοι σαν αθλητή και όχι σαν πολιτικό
Κάτι μας είπες τώρα...
χαίρομαι που το κατάλαβες :)
Έχε γίνει ποτέ πολιτικός ?
el sephiroth Γενικά τους αθλητές τους θυμούνται και τους πολιτικούς όχι γιατί οι αθλητές πρόσφεραν σε κάτι ενώ οι πολιτικοί εκτός από να μας τα κάνουν τσουρέκια δεν αξιοποιουν σε κάτι 🔥
el sephiroth ναι
Wow proud to be Greek. Οταν φωναξε για την Ελλαδα και εκει που ολοι φωναζαν ελλας οταν επαιρνε το χαλκινο ηταν ανατριχιαστικο
Σεμνός, ταπεινός ανέβασε την Ελλάδα και τους Έλληνες ψηλά και ήταν αυτός που πήρε 4 συνεχόμενα μετάλλια σε 4 Ολυμπιάδες!! Το όνομα του γραφτηκε επάξια στην ιστορία των Μεγάλων Ελλήνων αθλητών.
Να είσαι καλά Πυρρο σε ευχαριστούμε που μας έκανες να νιώσουμε περήφανους 🇬🇷
The genes on his legs are out of this world. More impressive than a carved Greek statue. It's unreal.
one of the greatest of all time.
He is will be forever legend in olympic lifting history!!!

υποσχεθηκα στον εαυτο μου πως δε θα κλαψω
Και κάθε φορά αθετεις την υπόσχεση σου
Αλλά να ξες, δεν είσαι ο μόνος.
Μακάρι τα σημερινά πρότυπα για τα παιδιά μας να έχουν ανθρώπους σαν εσένα ... Πύρρο ευτυχώς που σε έχουμε... ευτυχώς που σε άφησαν να αγωνιστείς για την Ελλάδα...ΑΞΙΟΣ!!
You know man, my county has a lot of problems, but when we win medals Like that, when we show the love to each other... Man those times i am so proud to be Hellenic.
I love Dimas .. What a person . Greece .. What a reception for 12 minutes. Love you Dimas from India.
I lifted on the exact same platform as he did in 1996 when I went to youth nationals this year
Go forest Productions well there is only one thing left to do... Win 4 Olympic medals, and i'm serious

this is so inspiring…. such a humble arhlete
You can never declare 'I cannot' ever again after watching this video 👏
Der Typ war einfach ein absolutes Monster.
I don' t know how it is going to be, but I think, if his memoirs/autobiography is printed i english I suggest you should read it... I just finished his autobiography in greek... It totally moved me and it is infact true what he says, that he lived 4 lives in one... I strongly recommend this book, not only for the thousands of athletes in the USA, who now are training under his guidance/seminars etc.
Μην κλαψεις...
