since today is his birthday, Happy Birthday to Pavel Kuznetsov! He won his first world championship at 22 and appeared to be unlucky in even years but finally hit it big in '88 with an Olympic gold medal. Like John said he had some big numbers and is one of the best ever at 100Kg. It's more likely that in those even years he was a victim of the numbers game. The Soviets were incredibly deep at 100 and the coaches went with whoever looked best to put in international meets. If he had a slight injury or just a bad meet he got passed over for the worlds.
