Wgt: Dobrev earns Bulgarian lifters first gold
MILEN DOBREV has won the 94kg gold to give Bulgaria their first weightlifting medal
of the Athens Games.
After their squad was ravaged by doping scandals and suspensions, Bulgarian lifters
had been absent from the podium until DOBREV combined a lift of 187.5kg in the snatch
with 220kg in the clean and jerk for a winning total of 407.5kg.
Russians have occupied the other two places on the podium, KHADJIMOURAD AKKAEV taking
silver with 405kg and EDUARD TJUKIN taking bronze on 397.5kg.
