Yoto Yotov: "No Olympics but Maybe the European Championships"

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 2004

The great Bulgarian weightlifter Yoto Yotov said today that although he will not be competing in the Athens Olympics, there is a good possibility that he will be lifting in the 2005 European Weightlifting Championships.

The Olympic Games and World Weightlifting Championships medalist has proven very durable, having been a top lifter from the late 1980s through the late 1990s, and he's not done yet.

Lifting in Croatia in May of this year, Yotov cleaned and jerked 200 kg, at 83 kg body weight, and said that he is serious about lifting in the 2005 European Weightlifting Championships.
