The heavyweight competition started on the day of the 'Munich Massacre' (A terroristic attack on the Israelian team. Among the victims there was also a weightlifter). For example; 'our' Serge Reding (2:00) & (4:09). He was well prepared and ready for at least another silver medal in the Munchen (like in 1968). Serge who has always been a very sensitive person was emotionally very touched by that terrible event and couldn't lift his starting weights in the press. No total - no medal...
I wasn't expecting much, but actually this is a pretty cool video.
That British guy was a headcase.
Actually I thought Tommy Kono said that Reding hurt his shoulder in press when a plate fell of the barbell.

Interesting vid, curious to see how much weightlifting has progressed in recent years.
