that final ovation was legendary

[@goldeneve]

John Rambo to this day I can still hear them in my dreams

[@albertoaguilar9773]

He was holding back his tears ❤

[@92OnTV]

One of the most beautiful stories in sport history :')

[@Fran-lc4wk]

Pyrros Dimas...enough said RESPECT

[@sohaminyoh]

Dimas has the best looking form/mechanics in the history of the sport.

[@apostolistsi8292]

He is laughing and watching around casually with 200 kg upon his head, true lion.

[@AnkitKumar-dz3mn]

Removing shoes by saying that someone else has to fill them. Great lines from great person. Hats off pyrros. You really true winner .

[@gutz1981]

Back in 2004, I was a butcher in a crummy supermarket in Greece. My friend had two passes to the weightlifting in Athens. He offered to take me. But I put work first. I quit that job soon after and started a new life, but I regret not going to this event to this day. Jobs come and go. But historic events only happen once in their field.

[@INFP_Growth]

Thank you so much for posting this I've literally been looking for this for years. Brought tears to my eyes.

[@daltasdaltas1955]

[@albertoaguilar9773]

Really beautiful

[@cv9244]

It's in the heart, that power within that can drive a person to impossible victories! motivational Dimas for sure!

[@Paumonsu]

Pirros Dimas and Naim Süleymanoğlu are the best weightlifters ever.

[@vasileiosnovratidis8535]

No. You are wrong. Dimas is the best weightlifter in the world. Naim is maybe 2nd best.

[@Robert-ig6zh]

Vasileios Novratidis and why?

[@chrysoulagkana1114]

@@Robert-ig6zh Actually, based on the Olympic performances, Pyrros Dimas, Naim Suleymanoglu, Kakhi Kakhiashvili and Halil Mutlu are the only weightlifters who have won gold medals in three consecutive Olympic Games, and only Pyrros Dimas has won four medals in four consecutive Olympic Games, three golds and one bronze...

[@chrysoulagkana1114]

@Martand81 well, there is no comparison between the 4 because they all competed in different categories... I can't compare them, nobody can in fact, I just stated their Olympic medals... Everyone was great at what they did, and I definitely agree with you regarding Naim 😉

[@billsonx4277]

@@chrysoulagkana1114 so the 4 best powerlifters are 2 greeks and 2 turks.mkay

[@josefcamilleri6934]

finally i met him last week !!!!!!

[@StFidjnr]

@ 4:08 where we seen this one before

[@giorgi-ss3lz]

Giorgi Asanidze, who took the first place here! He was in much better shape at the sydney olympics, there was just a lot of misbehavior towards him and they forcefully lost that olympics and the greek won, georgians are the best in power sports in the world, look at arm wrestling, weightlifting, judo, rugby, greco roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling, look How many Georgians appear in the UFC, the strongest men in the world are from Georgia! Even the best Greek athletes from Georgia were Kakhi Kakhishvili and Ilias Iliadis (Jarji Zviadauri). Georgian Nikoloz Sherazadashvili, who brought the first gold medal in history to Spain at the World Judo Championship, competed on behalf of Spain, and the freestyle Olympic champion competed on behalf of Serbia. In short, we are the physically strongest nation

[@panthrakikos13]

You wrote way too many things for noone to read... In weightlifting Pyrros is the greatest of all time, cry about it
