Veteran Iranian champion of Asian and world weightlifting competitions Ramazan Ali Teymouri has passed away in northern Iran as a result of a heart attack.
Teymouri embarked on his career as a heavy weightlifter in his hometown of Babolsar in Mazandaran Province, and after a short time made a success of it.
The Iranian athlete collected numerous awards during various Asian and World competitions, among them three gold medals from Asian Weightlifting Championships: in 1980 in Seoul, South Korea; in 1983 in Damascus, Syria; in 1984 in Tabriz, Iran.
Following his glittering career as a weightlifter, Teymouri made the decision to remain associated with the sport and became a weightlifting referee.
Teymouri is survived by wife and a son, Reza, who is also a weightlifter.
His body will be laid to rest on Saturday in Babolsar with officials from the Islamic Republic of Iran Weightlifting Federation, veteran Iranian weightlifters, sportspersons, as well as his bereaved relatives in attendance.
