Something not mentioned: after his missed third attempt at 207.5kg, he patted the barbell, walked to the side of the platform to remove his shoes, and then crossed to exit the stage for his last time. A sportsman in the truest sense and a great athlete for a reason.

One of the most inspirational and emotional videos I have ever seen...

[mtw]

Imagine what it must feel like to be a world class athlete, a 4 time Olympian no less, in one of the toughest Olympic sports. 
To receive all the adoration he did was thoroughly deserved, just think of all the blood, sweat and tears that occurred behind the scenes. People always forget that nothing comes easy, we see videos like this, see the end itself not the means to the end. He is awe inspiring, I can't imagine what those 4 years in between must've been like for him. 99% of us won't be able to fathom it either. God bless him

Τίμησες το εθνόσημο όσο τίποτα άλλο!! Είσαι αξέχαστος και υπόδειγμα αθλητή!!

the standing ovation was about 12mins! for 12 mins the crowd was screaming HELLAS and PYRROS! That never hapened for any athlete in olympic games again! There is no bigger honor than a crowd cheering your name, he relived the ancient glory and the true olympic game honor ! he glorified Hellas with his medals, and the Hellas glorified him with stoping the ceremony with standing ovation! Legendary

I need to say something after watching this inspirational video. I never knew about Pyrros Dimas until today. I almost cried at the end. How many hours of training, passion, patience goes into his work. It's mindblowing. How he even risk he's health to achive bronze medal in front of his nation. He's a living legend and now inspiration to me. Respect and love from Ukraine to the Greek GOD - PYRROS DIMAS! Now I will never forget your name.

I saw him lift in the 2004 Olympics, I remember because the whole arena chanted DIMAS, DIMAS, DIMAS!!! I’ve never seen something like that at any strength event. The house was shaking with DIMAS, DIMAS, HELLA, HELLA!!!

My favorite in weightlifting. Pyrros Dimas, you are a great athlete and very dedicated. I wish you had won the gold in Athens 2004 by lifting the last weight. Anyways, you are one of my heroes. No one can replace you. True love from Myanmar

[jordangroff]

Still kills me knowing that if he had made the last clean and jerk, he would have won a 4th gold medal due to having the lighter bodyweight

[LeonElRay]
