    Nasiri the Iranian who won the first Gold in Olympic weightlifting (1968 mexico)

    A historical video showing Mohamad Nasiri the Iranian weight lifter who won the first ever Iran gold medal in Olympic weightlifting. he comes in at about 28 second to about 1:40 mins. This Happened in 1968 Olympic games in Mexico where he won the gold medal. Also notice his famous acrobatic move after his victory. A move that so many imitate in various sports for joy and victory.
    Nasiri is a true Iranian hero. A simple humble man that achieved the most for Iran. He was the lightest Iranian and was announced the strongest man in the world. The tittle was given to him due to the fact that he lifted more that twice his body weight at the time. He was champion of the world, Olympic and Asia.
