    Enjoy watching the Top 10 strongest weightlifters in Olympic history! Weightlifting is a very traditional Olympic sport. Its two competition lifts in order are the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. The Snatch is a wide-grip, one-move lift. The Clean and Jerk is a close-grip, two-move lift. Each weightlifter receives three attempts in each, and the combined total of the highest two successful lifts determines the overall result within a bodyweight category. These athletes have competed in different Bodyweight categories. All of them were the strongest of their category and were able to lift multiple times their Bodyweight. Which one is the strongest Weightlifter for you? Let us know in the comments.

    Unfortunately you forgot another legendary Turkish weightlifter Halil Mutlu. He also should be on this list. Because Halil Mutlu lifted 5.45 times his body weight on 2000 when he was competing in Sydney Olympic Games. His body weight was 56 kg and he lifted 305.5 kg on total.
    Ne yazık ki bir diğer efsanevi Türk halterci Halil Mutlu'yu unutmuşsunuz. O da bu listede olmalıydı. Çünkü Halil Mutlu 2000 yılında, Sidney Olimpiyat Oyunlarında yarışırken kendi vücut ağırlığının 5.45 katını kaldırdı. Kendi vücut ağırlığı 56 kiloydu ve o toplamda 305.5 kilo kaldırdı.
