Vasily Fyodorowitsch Kolotow
Wassili Fjodorowitsch Kolotow ( Russian Василий Фёдорович Колотов ; * October 6, 1944 , † June 5, 2001 ) was a Soviet weightlifter .
biography
Vasily Kolotov, a young machinist from Sverdlovsk , started lifting weights in the mid-1960s. He made rapid progress and, starting for "Trud" Pervouralsk , became the first Soviet light heavyweight champion in 1969 (at that time up to 82.5 kg body weight).
As early as 1960, the strong, stocky Wassili moved up to the middle-heavy weight (then up to 90 kg body weight) because he could no longer bring the weight for the light-heavyweight. In this weight class, however, David Rigert became an almost unbeatable competitor in 1971. In 1970, however, he celebrated the greatest success of his career in Columbus / USA , namely winning the world champion title in middle heavyweight.
Vasily Kolotov resigned as early as the mid-1970s. After all, he had set ten world records in his career.
