Suleymanoglu in Sydney...

by Randall J. Strossen, IronMind Enterprises, Inc. © 1999

Ending months of speculation, Naim Suleymanoglu (TUR) has announced that he plans to lift in the Sidney Olympics. Suleymanoglu, a legend in weightlifting, became the first person in the sport's history to win gold medals in three Olympics, which he did with an electrifying performance at the 1996 Olympics. Although winning yet another Olympic gold medal would appear to be a Herculean feat, many weightlifting experts feel that Suleymanoglu is fully capable of doing just that.
