Ilya Ilyin Wins 94kg Weightlifting Gold – London 2012 Olympics

Kazakhstan’s Ilya Ilyin wins gold in the men’s 94kg weightlifting event at the ExCeL – South Arena 2 at the London 2012 Olympic Games (4 August).

Russia’s Alexandr Ivanov won silver in the event with bronze being won by Moldova’s Antoli Ciricu.

Although men’s weightlifting has always been on the programme of the Olympic Games – except for at the 1900, 1908 and 1912 editions — women started to participate only at the 2000 Games in Sydney.

The Olympic weightlifting programme has evolved greatly over time. Today, weightlifters compete in snatch and clean and jerk, and are placed according to their total combined result. From the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, men have competed in eight weight categories and women in seven. This total of 15 events remains unchanged.

    Why is this video still available?!!

    The International Olympic Committee stripped Ilya Ilyin of the gold medals he won in 2008 and 2012, both in the 94-kilogram class in 2016.

    Do we worship anabolic steroids junkies now?

    This video should be removed!

    All of the first, second, and third-place athletes were deprived of medals due to doping tests. Please play fairly.
