the most successful weightlifter
pyrros dimas was a member of the greek ethnic minority in albania and competed for albania at the 1990 european championships. the following year, he crossed the border and became a greek citizen. competing in the 82.5kg weight class at the 1992 barcelona olympics, dimas finished with a lift total of 370 kilograms, as did krzystof siemion of poland and ibragim samadov of unified team (ex-ussr). samadov ranked third because he outweighed the other two by five grams, but dimas and siemion weighed exactly the same. a new tie-breaking rule awarded the gold medal to whichever lifter reached his final total first. this was dimas, who gained greece's first olympic weightlifting championship since 1904. after winning two of the next three world championships, dimas entered the 1996 atlanta olympics as the world record holder. he did not disappoint his fans, as he broke the world record in both the snatch and the jerk and defeated marc huster of germany by 9 kilograms. going for a third olympic title in 2000, dimas missed his first two snatch attempts and was only in fourth place midway through the competition. he made up the deficiency in the jerk and, as in 1992, he ended up in a three-way tie, this time with huster and georgia's georgi asanidze at 390 kilograms. fortunately, he weighed 16 grams less than huster and 64 grams less than asanidze, so he did win his third gold medal. dimas returned to the olympics in athens in 2004 and earned the bronze, after which he signalled his retirement by leaving his shoes on the platform, while the appreciative greek crowd gave him a standing ovation.

最成功的举重运动员
皮洛士-迪马斯是阿尔巴尼亚的希腊族，在1990年欧洲锦标赛上，年轻的迪马斯代表阿尔巴尼亚出战。第二年，他离开阿尔巴尼亚，来到希腊，并成为希腊公民。1992年西班牙巴塞罗纳夏季奥运会上，迪马斯举起了370公斤的总成绩，并以体重优势夺得奥运会举重82.5公斤级的冠军，为希腊夺得自1904年以来第一枚奥运会举重金牌。接下来的几年，迪马斯延续自己不俗的表现，在三次世界锦标赛中两次夺冠。1996年美国亚特兰大夏季奥运会时，他已经是世界纪录保持者，在美国，他也没有让他的支持者失望，以9公斤的优势夺取卫冕成功，并且在抓举和挺举两项上都打破了世界纪录。2000年澳大利亚悉尼奥运会上，迪马斯在开始的两次抓举中都失利了，在抓举成绩中名列第四，距离金牌还有很大距离。 在挺举中，他将这个差距弥补上来，总成绩达到390公斤，再一次以体重优势夺取自己的第三枚奥运会金牌。悉尼奥运会后，年数已大的迪马斯宣布退役。2004年雅典夏季奥运会在希腊举办，为了嬴取更大的荣誉，迪马斯重新复出，并夺取一枚铜牌，在比赛的结束后，他将自己的鞋留在举重台上，宣布结束自己的运动员生涯。
