Mutlu Wins Historic Third Turkey's Halil Mutlu became one of a rare breed of triple gold medallists when he took the 56kg weightlifting title in Athens.The 4ft 11 in Turk once again outlifted his taller opponents, hoisting 135 kg in the snatch and 160 kg in the clean and jerk for a winning total of 295 kg. China's Wu Meijin was unable to halt Mutlu's nine-year unbeaten run and settled for silver with 287.5 kg. Sedat Artuc of Turkey completed the podium, taking the bronze with 280 kg. Mutlu, his career in doubt two years ago following two serious injuries, joined Turkish predecessor Naim Suleymanoglu and Greece's Pyrros Dimas and Khaki Kakiasvilis as three-time weightlifting gold medalists. Both Greek lifters go for their fourth consecutive golds later in the Athens Olympics. Who Are We ? | About THISDAYOnLine.com | THISDAY People | Contact Us © Copyright 2000 Leaders & Company Limited
