A lot could have happened since then. Maybe this is some weird premonition? |

I remember him lifting for Silver at the Brisbane Commonwealth Games in 1982 - he knew he was lifting for Silver behind Dean Lukin and said as much - I think it was his second or third Commonwealth Games and was certainly a gentleman in his post lift interview. He had an interesting sliding foot action for the Clean & Jerk. |

yes he was one of the rare lifters who did what was called the split clean and spilt snatch ( usually a lifter does a squat). this was because he started lifting at a relevant old age he didn't have the flexability for the squat. i need to check up records but i though he also went to the 76 olympics |
