🔧 What makes this lift special
It’s done in the super-heavyweight class (i.e. +109 kg for men), meaning there’s no upper body-weight limit.

The snatch is a single, swift lift: the barbell is lifted from the floor straight overhead in one motion — no pause, no second movement. That 225 kg snatch showcases maximal explosive strength, perfect timing, technique and flexibility — not just brute power.
📊 Historical context & legacy
Before Talakhadze, the previous heaviest snatch in major competition (super-heavy) was 216 kg by Antonio Krastev (Bulgaria) in 1987 — a mark which stood for decades.

Because of changes to weight-class definitions over the years (especially in 2018), records were reset. Talakhadze has repeatedly broken the “+109 kg snatch world record”: from 212 kg → 217 → 220 → 222 → 223 → and finally 225 kg.

His 225 kg snatch is often referred to as “the heaviest snatch ever in history” (in legit IWF-recognized competition, across all weight classes).
