Weightlifting Failure & Success - Moscow 1980 Olympics

[@Pokarface7]

The most impressive fact is that they had better cameras with high definition in 1980 than KZbin videos posted in 2005!!! Lol

[@Terbyn]

It's called film, and it's still superior to most digital cameras to this day.

[@staypositive4358]

The amazing thing to me is watching films from the 60s or 70s that look just as good or better than any modern day film.

1:27 György Szalai (born 14 February 1951). Hungarian heavyweight weightlifter who won a bronze medal at the 1980 Olympics. Lets' wish him and good health and long and happy life! He was 180 cm and 108 kg on the Moscow Olympics.

Weightlifting Most tough sport to compete in. Requires huge amount of training,efforts for years to be perfect weightlifter. And believe me, even one second of wrong technique can turn in to serious injury or even life threat to any weightlifter. So always huge respect to all participants in this game , particularly in Olympics.

1:28 (the long haired guy) as mentioned already by others - is Gyorgy Szalai of Hungary. He won Bronze that year in the Heavyweight division. I'm seeing all these comparisons to Lieutenant Dan with his appearance, I can see that to some degree, but for anyone familiar with K1 or MMA I'm sure many will be able to see a much closer resemblance between Gyorgy and fighter Mark Hunt (even in their facial expressions under load).
