Matthias Steiner is not an ordinary weightlifter. He was bore in Austria, but opted to lift for Germany and was granted german citizenship. Steiner aka the strongest man has a tragic story ehind him. At the Beijing Olympic he lifted a total weight of 560kg, lifting for him a Gold Medal as well. He lost the most valuable thing in his life, what more can happen to him? the last lift at 258kg he somehow find himself a brilliant power. He lifts. He Wins. he drop the bar, leap over it and cannot stop leaping into his coach's arms. At the victory ceromony he took out his wife pic and delicate his Gold medal to her, Susann, who died in a car accident in 2007. it was a really touching moment. you can imagine that the first thing that he do when he get back to germany is to go to his wife grave.
