Career

Vladimir Ryzhenkov started lifting weights as a teenager . He made rapid progress and was able to compete in the Soviet championships for the first time in 1971. He finished 6th in the light heavyweight division, but achieved the same performance as third-placed Boris Pavlov with 490 kg in the Olympic three-way battle . His most successful year was 1973 when he was able to become world and European champion. In 1974 he was injured at the World Championships and was never able to match his top form from 1973/74. So he couldn't realize his dream of starting at the Olympic Games.

Vladimir Ryzhenkov belonged to the "Dynamo" Moscow sports club and was a member of the Soviet security forces.
