History of Olympic Weightlifting
The Lift Up project is brought to you by chidlovski.com.
Just to mention that my colleague Paul Tchir has a website dedicated to the oldest living Olympic competitors (including lifters) at www.acsweb.ucsd.edu/~ptchir/
>> Anatoly Pisarenko is out right
>> oldest champion still alive.
Joe Dube (USA) is older than Anatoly Pisarenko. Joe just turned 78. He is the oldest living super heavyweight world champion. He is also a world records author.
Now that Great Yury Vlasov passed away:
LAHDENRANTA is the oldest living super heavy weight lifter setting WR and winning medal at world championship. May God keep him alive and healthy for a long time for his family.
Anatoly Pisarenko is out right oldest champion still alive.
Is it possible to edit a post I made many years ago? Can I contact you by phone?
Thank you.
Lift- Up is great for reviewing the history of Weightlifting during lock-down. Trusting all lifters wash their hands with soap between lifts and stay well. This is a sport where social distancing is easy to achieve.

Hi Arthur,
thank you very much for publishing my 'Anderson Club' .
I have a better, actualized version. If you need it, give me an address, where I can send it.
Best regards,
Vilmos
Arthur--I learned a couple of things about you when I looked up what the previous poster wrote. I wish you good health. The other thing is your hockey expertise, which leads me to a question. In the end credits of the documentary 'Red Army' I saw that among those given special thanks are Isaac Berger and Lauren Berger. Is this the great weightlifter and a relative or a different Isaac Berger? If it's the weightlifter, what was his connection to Soviet hockey?
