The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) has named Spain's Lydia Valentin and Georgia's Lasha Talakhadze as female and male lifters of the year.

Georgia's Lasha Talakhadze is the current World and Olympic Superheavyweight Champion as well as the World Record holder in the snatch with a 217kg/478lb lift and he's clearly got a whole lot of room in the tank.
