Soviet Weightlifters of the 1970s at the Baltic Cup
History in Color:
The cover photo shot rather from an unusual angle shows well-known Soviet weightlifting megastars of the 1970s during the introduction ceremony at the Baltic Cup:
Left to right:
Vladimir Ryzhenkov (82.5kg, Moscow, Russia, USSR), Vasily Kolotov (90kg, Pervouralsk, Russia, USSR), Valery Shary (82.5kg, Minsk, Belarus, USSR), David Rigert (90kg, Shakhty, Russia, USSR)
Rigert appears to have the best back development but I think Shary might have them all in the legs. Shary used to clean the weight with a vary narrow foot spacing, almost unbelievable to watch.
