Guliyev, Aligulizada, and this man (originally from Azerbaijan). This country seems to have a wealth of talent, especially in the C&J department!

The 211kg is on a body weight of 80kg, if I remember it correctly.
Compare his clean and jerks with the winner of the Friendship Cup at Varna, 1984, Stoichkov, who was 75 vs 77kgs, Stoichkov did a WR 210 and then a second WR 211. Mainly compare what these guys were wearing. Stoichkov got zero, zero, and zero assistance from any tight covering of his legs, because they were completely bare, and no knee wraps. Anyone who squats with something tight, then squats without something tight on the legs, knows that tight stuff adds at least ten percent to squat possibility. Stoichkov of 1984 still impresses me more than this current lifter. It was also clear than 220 would have flown when Stoichkov did the 210.
