I am deeply saddened of the news that today, after a complication of open heart surgery, Ivan Abadjiev has passed away. Olympic weightlifting community and the country of Bulgaria have lost a great man. Rest In Peace my friend!

The greatest coach of all times!! He was a 'diamond miner'. He founded a lot of talents and he refined them to be perfect! I am very sad that I couldn't train under the direction of him.

Thanks, Alexander. The medal count for Abadziev's lifters has been corrected and updated.

To correct the medal count, Ivan Abadzhiev produced 12 Olympic Gold medalists, 13 silver and 4 bronze. I believe, in your calculation of 9 gold, you did not include the two gold medalist he produced in 1996 Atlanta games while coaching the Turkish National team and later in 2000 Sydney games, back as a Bulgarian National coach, Abadzhiev produced one more Bulgarian Gold medalist
