At 4'10", weighing 135-145lbs in competition, he was the best pound for pound Olympic Weightlifter of all time and one of the greatest, winning 3 golds in 3 successive Olympics and was also a seven time World Weightlifting Champion setting multiple world records. There will never be another one like him. RIP Pocket Hercules..

His underwear didn't stand a chance against those balls of steel. What a legend!

NAİM SÜLEYMANOĞLU AZİZ RUHUN ŞAD OLSUN 🇹🇷

[gate]

To be honest this is one of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen.

Naim o ağırlıkları kaldırdığı zaman ben canlı olarak izliyordum. O heyecanı yaşamak ve buna şahit olmak gurur veriyor. Mekanı cennet olsun.

[savcturgut]

Kıyamete kadar hatırlanacak nadir sporculardan birisi yattığın yer nur dolsun.

[dathaniel]

Just so there’s no confusion, 335kg is the combined weight of the snatch and the clean & jerk. What he’s lifting in this clip is somewhere around 180-190kg.

[leccy]

That was insane. Pound for pound he's the strongest Olympic lifter of all time. He genetically gifted for Olympic lifting, tiny arms, his frame, he was made for this. Amazing stuff. Rip pocket hercules.

[Goekgok]

There is a movie which is called "Naim" and is about his life. His life story is even more incredible and heartbbreaking than the performance he showed in sports.

[morzhed-hoqh]

En France, on dit d’un homme qui a beaucoup de force : « Il est fort comme un Turc ».

[gazeloglusamet]

He is the only weightlifter in the world who can lift 10 kg more than 3 times his own weight. (60kg x3=180+10=190 kg). Now that this record is almost impossible to break, the 60 kg category has been removed in weightlifting. Naim Süleymanoğlu is much more than an athlete.

[oza]

I cry seeing this video- because i watched this live on tv at the time. I was a kid and perhaps first time i felt what a nation and national pride means. He made all turks so proud.

[Onelastsip]

For the context of this video, 61 kgs men total weight lift (snatch and clean & jerk combined) record is 319kgs today. Naim’s record was 342.5kgs on the 60kg Men in 1996

[shailendramehta]

I saw this for the 1st time today and my jaw just dropped

[melkaanaak]

We Bulgaria Turks are living peacefully because of this hero. Rest well

[josiahdeck]

That’s very impressive. That’s crazy strength no matter how big you are. Dude is a legend

[YogsenForfoth]

He was the greatest weightlifter of all time. Rest In Peace, Pocket Hercules.❤️

[Gabriel-ex]

Легенда и самый титулованный атлет в истории тяжелой атлетики, обладатель 46 мировых рекордов! Легенда, которая будет жить веками!

[IchauffeurmelbourneAu]

He is a friend of mine, I’m from Australia and met him 1987. He has front squat in front of my eyes 215kilos and 245 rear squat, he bet me for my car and after the squat he he said don’t want it. Has a very strong training discipline character, I’m talking 2 training sessions and 2 sleeping sessions 6 days.
