For Pyrros Dimas, weightlifting was never about fighting the athlete next to you.

Even Mark Huster the man who was always there, always close was also someone Pyrros speaks about with real respect:

“Mark was always a good friend.” 🤝

The real fight is with yourself.
And with the bar. 🏋️‍♂️

That is why he says it so simply:

“You have to do the weight.”

Pressure, respect, friendship all in one sentence and values of a true athele.
