Olympian Oleksiy Torokhtiy Returns to Form with Spectacular 160 kg Snatch
Ukrainian Oleksiy Torokhtiy, the renowned weightlifting blogger, coach and Olympian (2008/2012), has taken to social media to share some heavy lifts in his weightlifting journey.
A recent training session at the Halterofilia Barcelona gym witnessed Torokhtiy executing a snatch of 150 kg effortlessly, followed by a 160 kg conquest on his second attempt.
This achievement marks Torokhtiy’s personal record for the snatch in the last seven years. The significance of this accomplishment is underscored by his self-professed “PR vacation”.
