477.5 kgs Weightlifting Total - Ashot Danielyan

In this rare footage, Ashot Danielyan puts together what was for many years the largest total ever lifted (477.5 kgs) in a weightlifting meet at a domestic competition in Armenia—thus this is NOT an official IWF world record. The performance does, however, exceed Taranenko and Rezazadeh's greatest competition totals. NOTE: Lasha Talakhadze has now totaled more in competition. We all know that on occasion unofficial lifts done in domestic competitions may exceed the IWF world records: some good examples are Salimi's 217kg snatch and Sypko's 216.5kg snatch. What is unusual here is that footage exists of the lifts. Song - Petrie - Aurora.
