Behdad Salimi Kordasiabi (Persian: بهداد سلیمی كردآسیابی, born 8 December 1989) is former Iranian heavyweight weightlifter. He won gold medals at the 2012 Olympics, 2010–2018 Asian Games, 2010 and 2011 World Championships and 2009–2012 Asian Championships. He served as the flag bearer for Iran at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Asian Games.[1][4][5][6]
Salimi became the 2012 Olympic gold medalist in the +105kg category on 7 August 2012 with a 208kg snatch and a 247kg clean and jerk for a total of 455kg.[10][11]
Despite a torn ACL, total knee re-construction and over two years out of the game, Behdad Salimi returned to weightlifting in 2016 to compete in the Fajr Cup, held in Tehran, Iran and won gold.[12]
At the Rio 2016 Olympics,[13] he broke the world record snatch set moments before by Lasha Talakhadze, making 216kg, in the clean and jerk he initially completed a lift of 245kg which was approved by 2 of the three judges before being disqualified by the 5 member jury.[14] Iran’s National Olympics Committee filed an application to the CAS.[15] The International Weightlifting Federation website was hacked[16] the next morning and its Instagram page flooded with over 285,000 comments.[17]
Leaving National Team
After 2012 London Olympic games he and other Olympic medalists of Iran protested against Iran's national weightlifting team head coach Kourosh Bagheri for using offensive language in training and declined to attend national team exercises. As a result of a heavy argument on a live TV debate between Salimi and Kourosh Bagheri, the Iranian Weightlifting Federation dismissed Salimi and other weightlifters, and did not invite any of the London medalists for the 2013 Asian Weightlifting Championships and 2013 World Weightlifting Championships.[18]
Retirement
After winning his third gold medal at the 2018 Asian Games, with a total of 461kg, Salimi announced his retirement from the sport.[19][20]
