Boris Sergeyevich Selitsky

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Boris Sergejewitsch Selizki ( Russian Борис Сергеевич Селицкий , scientific transliteration Boris Sergeevič Selickij ; born September 22, 1938 in Leningrad ) is a former Soviet weightlifter .

Career

After the resignation of Rudolf Plukfelder , the multiple world champion and Olympic champion in 1964, several, almost equal athletes fought for his successor in the Soviet Union from 1965 onwards . One of them was Boris Selitsky , who started for "Locomotive" Leningrad . In 1966 he entered the public eye for the first time as 5th in the Soviet middleweight championship. In 1967 he was then already the Soviet light heavyweight champion, it should remain his only Soviet championship title. 1968 was his big year. He was first European champion in Leningrad and then in Mexico City Olympic champion in light heavyweight (at that time up to 82.5 kg body weight). His strong competitors at home - Vladimir Belyayev , Gennady Ivanchenko , David Rigert , Grigori Kochniew , Boris Pavlov and Valeri Schari - ensured that Boris Selitsky could not win any more titles in the next few years.
