The Weightlifting World Podcast had Ruslan Nurudinov on the show.
They interviewed him while he was in the training camp in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.
He is 2009 Junior Champion (85kg), 2012 Asian Champion and 2013 World Champion.

It’s so awesome that he can speak some English. I wish they asked him what his best squats were.
It is 330 i think i read
He seems like he had fun at the worlds…very strong dude. Cool interview!
When I saw him at the World’s in 2011 at 94 kg I thought he looks a bit skinny. I was already suprised back then by his lifting. When he then moved to the 105 kg class I was even more surprised to see him do so well. His improvements are amazing and I enjoyed the interview very much.
He could have won with 194,240 but he underestimated ilya ilyin.
