I think his GDR national records are most impressive. 205+240 and a 245 jerk under 110. His '88 Euros performance also goes unrecognized because of the lack of footage

Who has broken a total of 46 world records? Who has lifted 10 kgs more than 3xbody weight in clean and jerk? Who has been the cover of Time maganise? Who would sometimes win the competitions after his first lift?

After I heard dimas say naim was lazy with his training for sydney, I lost respect for him. His career was a miracle of politics and not very fierce competition. Nobody in his era ever made a heavy jerk when it mattered. Before dimas, we had vardanyan, and after him, we had tian, rostami, apti, Gabriel, and nasarina. Dimas got away with some pretty average performances for 3 olympic golds. And all of those men, (all better lifters) got like 2 olympic golds combined. 1 for vardanyan, the greatest ever before naim, and 1 for rostami, the winner of the greatest 80 kilo session ever. Where both rostami and tian beat dimas pr total and jerk record, and 4 men, totaled as much as dimas when he won in 2000.
