i wish he could represent a country for oly lifting. I bet he could clean and jerk 600lbs
I’m always curious about the process countries employ to choose their national teams. Misha has won Russia’s championship several times and is competitive on the international scale. Is there a reason that he doesn’t lift for the national team or compete in the Olympics?
yes, he won the russian championship, but his appearences at international competions (drug tested) were not that successful.
and – its russia, they dont really need him. there are several other strong and younger superheavyweights, such as ruslan albegov.

This is why I love asking questions here. Very informative. Thank you!
that is one issue he has always had. Performing “clean”. A concept i disagree with.
He also openly admitted to using PEDs for Strongman competitions; this also factored in decision making by Russian Weightlifting Federation.
