Steiner to Lift in Antalya

Already proving he’s got the ability to bounce back from difficult circumstances, defending Olympic champion Matthias Steiner (Germany) will be starting at the European Weightlifting Championships.

Antalya has something of a good history for Matthias Steiner, as he made this 246-kg gold medal lift in the clean and jerk at the 2010 World Weightlifting Championships (Antalya, Turkey).  IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo.

Coming off surgery, Steiner’s status was up in the air but German weightlifting coach left no doubt as he told IronMind, “MATTHIAS WILL TAKE PART at European Championships!!!!”
