  • Yuri Zacharevich was one of the biggest start of the soviet team and of the USSR as a whole. He is the 5th best weightlifter ever by sinclair and the best heavyweight lifter of all time.
    Big thank you to Weightlifting archive, Frank Rothwell, Lift up and Weightlifting news agent for the archives video - this video wouldn't exist without them

    I think toughest athlete in the world so far is greko roman wrestler Alexander Karelin. Noone dominated the sport as long as he did. Also legendary armwrestler John Brzenk, who was number one for around 20 years

      True but Yuri would have destroyed Botev by 20+ kg in the shape he was in.

      If they had faced off, they would have become the 1 and 2 greatest of all time. Which one was which would have been decided that day.

      Zakharevich was the lifter that made me serious about weightlifting, I had watched a few worlds and Olympics and thought it was cool, but nothing blew my mind like when I saw the 88 Olympics 110s on CZcams

    Not only did Yuri "feel more tired than usual", his vision was impaired, his urine was black, and he was constantly dizzy, because of the huge doses of st@roids his coaches were giving him. Poor guy, what he went through was insane, especially while still so young.
