I was 14 and proud to be Australian when Deno won that gold medal 🥇. Not long after it he lost a lot of weight. Just wouldn’t of recognised him after the weight loss.

I remember reading boxing champion Jeff Fenech's book how he and the other lighter weight class boxers in the Aussie team in LA would all be having light meals to keep their weight down while he'd look over and see Dean Lukin and the other weightlifters munching their way through steaks that would see Fenech go from Bantamweight to Light Heavyweight overnight lol

I know 10 kgs is a lot but the 1988 maximum clean and jerk was 250 in this weight class. I remember watching this as a kid, great moment.

None of these lifters would even make a top ten if soviets and Bulgarians were participating. Great competition nonetheless.

To be in the front row of a Super Heavyweight comp a World champs or Olympics. its better than anything else on Earth. You are barracking for the lifter, everyome is equal. The weight has been liftred, the record set, who did it is not important at that instant. Surprisingly very humble blokes.
Back when men had an Adam's apple, and women had a womb.

Hey Dean did great but let's be honest if the socialist/communist nations were there he woulda got smashed. They held their own games at the same time, Pisarenko beat Lukins lifts by 50kg.
