60KG | 1984 | Friendship Cup (Varna, BUL) | Topurov vs. Sarkisyan

The third session of 1984's Friendship Cup; the 60kg's category. Weightlifting at the Friendship Games was contested at the Palace of Culture and Sports in Varna, Bulgaria between 12 and 16 September 1984. 80 athletes competed in 10 events. World records were broken thirty times during the competition.
"The 60kg class was marked as a tactical battle between Yurik Sarkisyan and two bulgarians - Stefan Topurov and Anton Kodzhabashev. Sarkisyan was lighter than Topurov but heavier than Kodzhabashev. He opened with the 135kg snatch when bulgarians lifted 130 and 132,5 accordingly. In the 2nd attempt, Sarkisyan tried to increase the world record by 1,5kg, but afield because of a mistake he made during the explosion phase. In the 3rd attempt, Sarkisyan succeeded with the 140kg. However, according to the rules, the world record went to Topurov who lifted before him. In the clean & jerk, Sarkisyan was able to lift 175kg in the last attempt only (due to the mistakes in the jerk). Topurov went on with the records in the 3rd and 4th attempts - 182,5kg and 185kg accordingly. As a result, he set up a new world record in total - 322,5kg. Sarkisyan's total was 315kg, Kodzhabashev's - 295kg." /based on: www.chidlovski.net/liftup/a_1984_druzhba.asp/
