The cover man for November 1961 is possibly the most successful 20th Century athlete you've never heard of. Isaac Berger won the weightlifting gold medal at the 1956 Olympics for the 60kg class. He went on to win silver in 1960 and 1964 along with three World and two Pan American championships. In a sport dominated by superheavies, he still managed to shine brightly.
Too bad the champion Berger didn’t pose in at least a fig leaf like the champion Sandow….:)
ReplyDeleteYes, too bad.
