Weightlifter Naim Süleymanoğlu made his Olympic debut at the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games. He was quickly nicknamed “The Pocket Hercules” for the combination of his short stature (1.47m or 4ft10in) and incredible display of strength.
Born in Bulgaria to Turkish parents, Süleymanoğlu obtained Turkish citizenship in 1986 and was now representing Turkey in the weightlifting competition at the Seoul 1988 Olympic Games.
“The Pocket Hercules” lifted 190.0kg in the clean and jerk; and 152.5kg in the snatch, reaching a total of 342.5kg. This result gave him both the Olympic gold medal and new world record, by an impressive 30kg.
Naim Süleymanoğlu would still be back at the Olympic Games in Barcelona 1992 and Atlanta 1996 to win two more Olympic gold medals and have his final Summer Games at Sydney 2000.

For this reason they had to change the weight limit. Because no one on earth can ever bit Naim, so they had to make some changes. Naim was fonomenal, and no one on this planet can lift what he did
Imagine if he was 50 cm taller. He would lift cars like it was 20 kilos propably.
I remember watching because besides track and field, wrestling Olympic lifting is my favorite and to see and comprehend what he did was mind boggling and he won gold in 3 different Olympic games.
The greatest to ever do it, EVER….I dont think ot will ever be broken, CLEAN….like this legend.
That's the greatest gift in human history. 132lbs…60kg lifts 418lbs….insane!

Needs some work to be done on the footing

Following his death, a Japanese woman had claimed that her daughter, Sekai Mori, had been fathered by him, and filed a paternity case at a Turkish court.A DNA test confirmed the paternity claim.Süleymanoğlu also had three daughters by a Turkish woman.

Kendin 60 kiloyken nasıl 190 kiloyu kaldırırsın? Bu insanın fizyolojisine aykırı aga. Nur içinde yatsın
I was a kid watching Naim at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. That day, he broke six world records in one competition. All of us watching that competition on television were in tears. That's when I realized what a great champion he was. Rest in light Naim.
Rest in peace Naim, best to ever do it 3.167 times bodyweight overhead!!!
