babe wake up new vintage content

[@LARGAS13]

Oh... so many memories... I remember watching Khaki competing for us Greeks and I also remember how much we loved him as our own child! Thanks for the memos Akakie!

[@Hairy.Whodini]

If anyone is wondering where he is now, Khaki is the current president of the Georgian Weightlifting Federation.

[@LARGAS13]

And he's doing a pretty good job in training his coutrymen, I 've heard. Correct me if I am wrong.

[@lucassak1]

Lets take a moment to appreciate the effort of Vintage Lifts to make those awesome videos and the fact he also keeps it free to watch. I'm from brazil so its harder to support from buying merch, but I will do my best because this content have enormous value to keep weightlifting history alive

Make as in edit

[@davidtatro7457]

Wonderful video, thanks for posting! I am just getting into weightlifting and had never heard of him before now. His story is amazing!

[@VICTORIOUSGREEKPOWER]

It was an honor for us competing with our flag in the heavyweight division such a legendary athlete .Tremendous exlposion and power .Indeed he was the best weightlifter in his division .

[@nickcustodi592]

They aren’t built like this anymore! The fact he was push/power jerking these weights is unreal.

[@CG_Strength]

10/10 great video had me locked in

[@xgamermudkip7154]

kakhi was one of the only guys at or near the top who had something left in the tank when he made his best total. he probably could have done 237, and definitely 190 in barcelona.

[@xgamermudkip7154]

georgia had to wait 12 years between kakhi and georgi, and another 12 for lasha, which georgian will emerge to win gold at LA 2028? We've seen a super, and 2 middle weights, i think its time for a featherweight

[@ozwunder69]

Pretty sure he hadn't lifted more than 180 by 1992 Olympics

[@xgamermudkip7154]

​@ozwunder69 because alexev wouldn't let him snatch heavy

[@ludwighoijer]

Fantastic vid.

[@JimTheThe]

[@o-neil]

Banger video

[@fabiobonetta5454]

[@nikosboul-akk]

[@Mr.Ciobanu]

@@nikosboul-akk fuck yeah, that makes him even more legendary

[@kalakouentin]

[@gwgiagal5065]

🏋️🏋️

[@BuJammy]

Alexiev next?

[@bumpercoach]

nobody has yet beaten KKs 145k over bdwt C&J ... probably nobody ever will

[@ozwunder69]

Kharpaty did it first in 1988

[@HIMCULES]

​@@ozwunder69in which competition.

[@nikosboul-akk]

he is half Greek....his mother is Greek.That's the true reason he came to Greece

[@HIMCULES]

Exactly, his mother's name is Maria Lamprianidi.

[@Whelo369]

Don’t forget his Greek uncle who convinced him to go

[@nchinth]

then who's king?

[@VorpalBR]

Probably Pyrros Dimas, because he has more olympic medals (3 consecutive golds and 1 bronze)

[@nchinth]

@@VorpalBR then what does that make Naim, who has the highest sinclair?

[@VorpalBR]

@@nchinth It's a good point, Naim has the biggest Sinclair and Pyrros has had more success in the Olympics.

[@HIMCULES]

​@@nchinthSinclair just means he was the strongest tiny little guy, among tiny little guys. If you are trapped under a car, they are not going to bring out a tiny car for him to lift. Either you are stronger or you are not. Sinclair means nothing in real life.

[@nchinth]

​@@HIMCULESif that's the case, then lasha is king.
