Topic: Who is the Russian record holder in the 77 kg category?

[Vilmos Zoller]

According to an official FTAR publication the Russian record in the total of the 77 kg category is 385 kg, what should be the best ever result in this category.
Does anybody know, who is the lifter? When? Where?
Yours, sincerely,
Vilmos Zoller.

the only one i can think of in the new 77 class that would EVER be capable of such a HUGE total in Russia would be Oleg Perepetchenov... maybe around the time he set his 210 world record.  The Russian championships aren't tested as much as world competitions so he could have been on the juice?  maybe a 172.5 and 212.5, both would be 2.5 pb for him compared to his best in international results.

Just a guess.

That is Oleg Prepečenov, for sure.  He did 385 KG  total in 2002 or 2001 I think. In 2006 Perepečenov did 170+212 in 77kg, which is also awesome.

Dear Friends, I thank you very much for your replies. A reference from
eleikosport.se/swe/News_show.asp?NewsPageNumber=155
asserts, that the Russian record in 2006 still was 382 kg.
In any case, it would be important to have the winners of all Russian championships.
Yours sincerely, Vilmos.

385kg in total ( Perepećenov) : I read about that in Europen weightlifting magazin from 2002, but I dont know what kind of competition it was.

Dear Polde, I thank you very much for the vauable information. I am going to book it into my 2002 file.
Yours sincerely, Vilmos.
