Les, The amazing thing about Foldi was he lifted with a great handicap being that (I think) the fingers on his right hand was shorter that the others and this was either by a birth defect or he had an accident and they were severed. I'm not so sure and can't remember what the exact story about this handicap. But, he sure didn't let this hinder and stop him in his desire to be the best in the world. He was a great Champion and I admired his courage.
