Chuck Vinci, the last American weightlifter to win an Olympic gold medal until Tara Nott did it in Sydney, will be presenting awards at the Arnold Classic next month.
Vinci is a member of the very elite club of weightlifters who have won two Olympic gold medals (1956 and 1960), and was known for his very impressive physique as well as for his fabulous lifting. Hosted by the Columbus (Ohio) Weightlifting Club, this is the first time weightlifting will be featured at the Arnold Classic, and it promises to be a great event.
