Artem Ivanov (weightlifter) explained

Artem Ivanov (born December 16, 1987, in Dnipropetrovsk) is a Ukrainian (until 2014) and Russian (since 2014) weightlifter. His best total is 420 kg (190 snatch + 230 clean and jerk - Ukrainian Championships 2012).[1] If this had not been completed at a domestic event, it would have represented a substantial increase on the world record at this weight division. At the 2012 Olympic Games, Ivanov did not appear for his weigh-in, prompting speculation of injury, and leaving rival Ilya Ilyin to comfortably retain his title.
