Fyodor Ossypa

Fjodor Ossypa ( Russian Фёдор Осыпа , scientific transliteration Fëdor Osypa ; * 1927 ) is a former Soviet weightlifter .

Career

Fyodor Ossypa grew up in Kharkov . There he also started lifting weights. He quickly grew into the Soviet top class, but had the bad luck that he had two athletes in the light heavyweight with Trofim Lomakin and in the middle heavyweight with Arkady Vorobyov , which he could not defeat. The use at the European Championships in Helsinki in 1956 remained his only international test. Since he was "only" the second middle heavyweight winner there, he got no more chance from head coach Jakow Kuzenko . In 1959 he ended his career.
