Frank Rothwell's Weightlifting History Petrov vs Kakiasvilis C+Jerk 1994

[@mikeyburger1]

Wow! what a fantastic competition, thanks frank, much appreciated. Both legendry lifters, and despite getting silver I think Kakhiasvilis is overall the greater lifter... truely increadible... but both are fantastic!

[@ljdougall]

Holy shit that is an awesome gutsy effort by Kakhi on that lift. He takes the jerk to rock bottom before he absolutely has to bail.

[@connermckinney6807]

Oh how sad Chakarov injured himself in the warm up room, he got a 185 snatch at that competition and was looking well for 225 at least if he didn’t hurt himself :(

[@8acun]

Your the man Frank.

[@NymphetMephisto]

It's funny that at first the board mensioned kakiasvili as GEO and finally it changes to GRE.

[@powmongo]

Khaki had an injured leg. Randy Strossen says that when Khaki is training in the training hall for this competition.

[@mikeyburger1]

Shame about Chakarov as well, I think a lifter who is often seen below his abilities. Kakhi had a really hard time in this competition as well

It`s Kakhiashvili not Kakiasvilis.

[@mitjtl5738]

+Gio Iberi it is originally Kakhiashvili however when he moved to the greek national team and aquired a greek nationality he changed it to kakiasvilis.

[@vladtheimpaler5550]

It doesn't make a difference because he is an ethnic Greek anyway. Greeks have been living in Georgia for about 4,000 years.

[@chadcite]

petrov leg strength is scary, all his cleans even in sydney looked easy.

[@SuperOlds88]

What was there like 4 people in the stands?

[@haroldpepete]

that day Petrov could lift 300 kilos if he wants

[@defygravity9211]

Kakhi is out of this planet.
