Eduard Pavlovich Browko
Eduard Pavlovich Browko ( Russian Эдуард Павлович Бровко ; born January 25, 1936 in Dnepropetrovsk ; † April 13, 1998 ) was a Soviet weightlifter .
Career
Eduard Browko, a young Russian from Dnepropetrovsk, seemed to be gaining the upper hand against Vitaly Dwigun in the early 1960s in the fight for the successor to the resigned multiple world and Olympic champion Arkady Vorobyov . He first started for the sports organization "Dynamo" and was first known when he finished second behind Kalinichenko at the championship of this organization in 1959 in the light heavyweight division.
In 1962 he was the first Soviet middle heavyweight champion and then represented the USSR at the 1963 World Cup in Stockholm . There he took third place behind Ireneusz Paliński from Poland and Louis Martin from England . Eduard Browko, however, got competition in his own country faster than he would have liked. Vladimir Golovanov and the young Jaan Talts ended his international career before it really started. At the Soviet championships in 1966 he showed what he was made of when he beat Jaan Talts with 475 kg in the Olympic three-way battle. At the world championship of the same year in Berlin , Talts was still used by the Soviet association. Eduard Browko then ended his active career.
He remained in weightlifting as a trainer and was the supervisor of some top lifters for many years.
