Athens 2004. I was 10 years old and all I wanted to see was this man. Not the 100m or any other more " popular " sport , just this man. He won the bronze while he was pretty old and still suffering from an injury. When he lost his final attempt for gold the crowd gave him a standing ovation for 15 minutes. Then 15 more minutes of glory when he stepped on the podium. How many weightlifters have seen anything like this?What a legend. We were screaming like we had won the Euro's twice that summer.

Pyrros Dimas was a legend. So many of the other lifters were way heavier than him and had alot of weight to counter the weight on the bar in the clean or snatch. He was a lean machine.
Starting from the 1995 World Championship in China, his technique was almost flawless indeed. The weight doesn't play much of a factor. Big guys who cut weight, they get almost completely dehydrated before the scale. That affects their energy the day after. It's a common thing in MMA nowadasy, fighters do extreme-weightcutting to get an edge by fighting smaller fighters. Eventually they get whooped and move up to their natural weight class.
I'm so confused as to why you bring up weight. He competed in a weight class. Most people were about his weight and maybe only a couple kilos heavier if anything. And there really isn't anything like "countering the weight". You're basically jumping with the bar - the point is to get maximal speed upwards by "jumping". When it comes to getting under the bar you're actively pulling yourself under by using the heavy weights.
This is exactly how a crowd at an Olympic event should be like! Truly enjoying the moment and cheering for the athletes. Nowadays, rather than living the moment, everyone wants to record blurry videos, which will never be seen again, on their stupid phones from 25-30 metres away, even when experienced photographers are capturing the event from all angles.
Few people will ever approach the strength pound-for-pound that Dimas had at his prime, let alone his sheer force of will to succeed. A monster of a man.
In training he was snatching 180-185kg for singles up to 8-10 sets BULGARIAN AF! It took him a long time to get used to that system. Front squatting 250kg for multiple sets too. For someone that’s under 85kg that was insanely impressive.
@@Theo-ul8qm I saw an interview where he said that 3 months before an event he will train 3 times per day, each session lasting around 2hrs (with the breaks included) !!
@@shabeehaneef Pro wrestling is a sport? I know it is hard but isn't it mostly a show? The outcome is predetermined there are no victories. You don't win the opponent.

I love that part. For a while, I said it as a silly sort of lifting grunting sound not knowing what it means. Now that I know what it means I'm still going to say it even though I'm not Greek. It's too bad he didn't get the lift on that one. I think it's because after the clean and before the jerk, he did a slight up and down motion.
12:19 He is wearing Adidas Adistar 2000, but the outsole is from Asics Tiger 727, the shoes he was wearing back in 1992 and 1996. Everyone knows that these shoes are the best of all time, but he had a sponsorship with Adidas.
Thank you for this great and memorable video. 4 olympiads = 4 medals !!! The greatest lifter of all time period. The 15-20 Greeks cheering him on in the stands at Barcelona 92 games are members, coaches and teammates of his weightlifting team & federation. On that day, we all witnessed a performance of a lifetime. Pyrros gave us beautiful moments & we are so proud for him. Ελλας!

Do you know where Pirro Dhima was born, he speaks albanian better than Greek. I can give you more facts if you want.
In Atlanta, in clean and jerk, not only did Pyrros lift the weights three consecutive times, but he we also see him lift coach Iakovou, after his third attempt; that's truly astonishing...

Who states that? Pyrros and his family, Nd his while Greek village (there are 15 Grrek villages or so), faced great persecutions as Greeks, because they were Grenkas
Why you bringing in politics to this? Just enjoy the lifts.
No one has an inferiority complex against you lmao

Tell him to do his DNA and you'll see what he is! DNA doesn't lie like you malakas do!
In 1:54 he shouts "Yia tin Ellatha" which means "For Greece"! Goosebumps all over my body! I remember it still after all those years! And he was the first one to say it. During his effort ... After some days Paraskevi (Voula) Patoulidou said it as well (with a "spicy" addition) during the interview after winning Olympic gold in Women's 100m Hurdles. The race in which Gail Devers fell.
Respect all champions from Tajikistan 🇹🇯🇹🇯
All this generation is absolutely stunning Dimas,kahiazvili,leonidis,sampanis,koklas,tselilis and more

NORTH EPIRUS IS GREECE PYROS DIMAS IS GREEK...🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
North Epirus it was never Greek and it will never be so forget about it,and something else if it’s Greek why you used to call him facking Albanian?
@@gusalien333 As long as people remember brother .. History will never be forgotten. Even after thousands of years..not because of hate.. But because of love. Βόρειος Ήπειρος γη ελληνική!!
Northern Epirius is Albanian and it has never been Greek
@@dontknow6715 according to who?? Do you have living family there?? Because my grandfather who died 11 years ago is from a Greek village... A village of Greek speaking people.. That has Greek graves from 1658 with Greek names on it.. And people still speak Greek as native language. It's clearly Greek land holden by Albanians.
@@The7psyxos Dimitros you are talking lies, you don't know history. Albanians have always been there. Don't play with the fact that turks occupied Albania for 500 years, that doesn't make us turks. Do you know Skanderbeg who fought the turks until his death? He was albanian. Before turkish occupation albanians were catholics. By the way Pirro Dhima is albanian, the only reason he says he is greek is for monetary reasons. But you are brainwashed by propaganda. Do you know where Pirro Dhima was born, he speaks albanian better than Greek. I can give you more facts if you want.
Το λιοντάρι της Χειμαρας.Μας έκανεςυπερήφανους Πυρρο είσαι λεβεντιά ❤❤❤

*LIVING LEGEND*
he's totally badass. i would like to see him again on olympics for final medal.
He may be 50 years old today but I heard he promised to do you the favor by competing in the Olympics of 2036.
Born to be a Olympian 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
A true legend.
Ξανά ζωντανεύει η ίδια αγωνία Όταν βλέπεις τις άρσεις.. καρφωμένοι μπροστά στην τηλεόραση..αυτή η αγωνία.. το σφίξιμο στο στομάχι.. ΕΙΣΑΙ ΜΕΓΑΛΟΣ!!!
Special individual goat of weightlifting
Sorry I think he prefers the term cow of weightlifting
In Atlanta, in clean and jerk, not only did Pyrros lift the weights three consecutive times, but he we also see him lift coach Iakovou, after his third attempt; that's truly astonishing...
Great greek legend👌👌👌👌
Shame he betrayed the Country that made him champion. His first Gold medal was for Albania.
@@altinzeneli8152 that's a Greek way😁
@@altinzeneli8152Well he wanted to represent his country of origin Greece despite Albanian government efforts to trap him there.
The look on his face when he is not successful...is that of disappointment sure...but is also that of learning and motivation. Oh my....I am in awe of the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit.
1:54 για την Ελλάδα 🇬🇷
Yeah, didnt work because he isnt Greek! Pure Albanian, shame!!!

Τεράστιος Πύρρος Δήμας, ζήσαμε μεγάλες στιγμές! 🇬🇷🇬🇷
You missed the last lift of his carrier when he was about to win gold for the 4th consecutive time but fell a lil short in jerk and hung up his shoes!
I love to shop for shoes
My favorite of his career
You dont have to win.. to win
He had a severe damage in hand and leg,and yet he was third ....Imagine his fourth gold in four Olympics if he hadn't been injured.
@@angiekar6995 Yes,in his first Olympiac game he was 21years old and in 2004,at his last time he was 33years old and with many damages during his career.He was injured many,many times and in his coachs,he was losing weight manytimes!He is the best athete in Greece not only in weight-lifting but generally!He is a legend!
