Thanks so much for your kind words, Kevin! I really appreciate it. I didn't mean to sound pathetic with the article - just wanted to be honest and transparent. But... Hey, I am not gone yet. I just need to take a better care of myself and learn how to deal with it under the circumstances. Best to you and many thanks for your support.

I just read about you and the Walrus. I am very sad to hear your news.This blog has been a wonderful opportunity for me to learn more about the Soviet lifters that I admired as well as others. It also has allowed me to share with others my meager experiences and thoughts about weightlifting. Thank you for your contribution to this great sport and to those who love it as you do. I will have you in my prayers each day.

I haven't heard anything about the new Olympic weightlifting classes?

Bad news, I just just read that Naim Suleymanolu died this morning in Turkey at age 50. He had undergone a liver transplant back in October 6 and seemed to be recovering but he took a turn for the worse and never left the hospital. He has been suffering from cirrhosis of the liver for years. We loose another great one at a rather young age (just 50). A great lose to Turkey, his family, friends, fans and the sport's world. Requiestat Im Pacem.

Velichko Cholakov is the second member of the Bulgarian 2004 team to die at age 35. Milen Dobrev was the other one in 2015.

By the way, great job with the color photos and captions.

Thank you so much for the colorized photos of so many Soviet lifters. Many of these were before I got interested in lifting but many were also lifters who never got to compete outside of the SU due to the incredible depth of the nations talent pool. They set world records but never made international teams. The old saying was, 'It's harder for a Soviet to make it to the world championships than it is to win them.' I love what you do here.

Thank you so much for 1967 Special Tournament in Mexico City results. I loved the fact you provided extended data for many athletes. Some of these guys did not medal again in Olympics and World championship. It is probably too late but IWF should recognize these guys as 1967 champions.
