It is Ashot Danielian. He won a bronze medal in the Sydney olympics in the heaviest weightlifting weight class by lifting a combined 465kg in the snatch and clean and jerk. Later, when he tested positive for steroids he was stripped of his medal.

Yuri Vardanian is really the strongest man (and not only Armenian) in the world. He is the one who broke the largest number of world records (43) on several years, but also he hold's the largest number of world records in one competition evening. Many times USSR, European and world champion, he won only one time the Olympic title in 1980. In 1984, he was the biggest favorite for the title of the 82,5 KG, but the USSR boycotted the Los Angeles Games. Here's why Yurik is the strongest man in history of the Olympics. At Moscow Games, in 1980, he won the title (in 82,5 Kg category) with a total of 400 Kg, beating the world record by 10 Kg (!) and the Olympic record by 35 Kg (!!!). Vardanian would even win the title in the highest category (90 Kg and 100 Kg), in which the winners lifted totals lower than Vardanian's (respectively 377,500 Kg and 395 Kg). Moreover (and this is the best), nobody until now has even equaled Vardanian's performance. Worst, the Grec Dimas, who won the title in Sydney, last year, in the category of ...85 Kg (and not 82,5 Kg which did not exist anymore), lifted only 390 Kg, 10 Kg less than our hero Yurik, 20 years later ! Isn't this Armenian the strongest MAN in the world. Just one more thing : Yuri Vardanian's record in High Jump is ...2m.10. His body is only MUSCLES.

Ararat-73,

 

Welcome to the forum. You are petty well informed. I remember that legendary day in weight lifting.

 

I have a feeling that next you are going to move into the field of soccer.

[Ararat-73]

Shnorhagalutyun to everyone for bari kalust makhtank (or maxtank). Yes, well guessed, MJ. I'm an adorator of Ararat football team, the one of the 70s of course, with their Brazil-1970 style. Do you know that Khoren Hovannisyan was elected best Armenian soccer player of the century by Armenian journalists (I was among them). Edouard Markarov was second, Arcadi Andreasyan third, Hovannes Zanazanyan 4th, Manug Semerdjyan 5th.

May be it's a good idea to put this on the Forum, with the number of points for each. Same with the best Armenian sportsman of the century. Albert Azaryan is the first, Hrant Shahinyan second (both gymnastics) and my favorite Yury Vardanyan (weightlifting) is only third. I'll do it in maximum 3 days. Tsdesutyun. Aharon Boyadjian (Paris).

Dear Aharon,

 

I do remember Ararat-73 very well. What a time ....

 

I am absolutely convinced that many of us would be delighted to see your contribution.

Parev,

 

 

Ararat 73, I have a question regarding the 73 champions. Did they lose the game in Lebanon fair or was it staged? I was a child then and remember some details about it.

[MadArmo]

Does anyone remember Garo khacherian the Wrestler and martial artist from Allepo, Syria? I once took lessons from him in the early 80's in hollywood Armenian center. Wasn't he a champion in Europe? I think in the early 60's not sure.

MadArmo Jan,

 

I think you're right to say that the match between Ararat and Nejmeh, in Beirut, on February 1974, was staged.

Before I tell you why, let me remember you that the Armenian team played at that time 5 matches in Lebanon. Ararat won four of it : against Homenmen-Homenetmen, 4-1 ; against the Lebanese national team, 4-1 ; against Riadah Adab (in Tripoli), 3-0 ; against Racing Club (the reigning champion in 1973), 3-0. They only lost (1-0) against Nejmeh, in a match that was staged to end 1-1. But when Nejmeh scored their goal, they put 10 players before their keeper and Ararat didn't manage to equalize. I had this information from the son of Nejmeh's president, Omar Ghandour. His son and I were in the same school and were in our school's football squad. A month before Ararat's venue to Lebanon, his father succeded to come to an agreement with the Brazilian Santos club which planned to play in Saoudi Arabia before going to Lebanon. My friend told me then that Nejmeh and Brazilian officials came to the agreement that the match would end 1 - 1. After that, all members of Nejmeh club (officials, players...) would go to the Presidential Palace and receive some national distinction from President Frangieh (who was Christian), then they would go to the Prime Minister's Palace, Saeb Salam (who was Muslim) and get also some national distinction. Don't forget that ther was some tensions in Lebanon in 1974 between the Christians and the Muslims, between left wing and right wing, between Palestinians and Lebanese people. Country's officials were doing everything to make political agreement between all factions.

After the match against S.A., won by Santos, 5-0, Pele went back home, to Brazil. The Lebanese then told the Brazilian that the contract was no more valuable, because of the absence of Pele, and told them not to come to Lebanon. Instead of the Brazilians, Nejmeh's President agreed with Beirut Homenmen Club to make a match (Nejmeh - Ararat) if Homenmen invites the Armenian club, recently crowned Champion of USSR.

Everyone knows how finished that one and all Nejmeh members visited both Suleyman Frangieh and Saem Salam and got their national medals and distinctions.

Let me tell you something too. The day after that match, on the proposition of my father, Khatchadour Boyadjian (who was at that time the President of Lebanese referree's Comission), and the agreement of Ararat's manager, Nikita Simonian, Homenmen's officials proposed to Omar Ghandour to set up a revenge match, but Nejmeh President of course refused that one !

Shnor agal em...

 

I knew Ararat was a strong team, Thanks again for the clarification of events.
