George Lurich – Iron Game History – August, 1991

George Lurich was probably one of the most remarkable personalities developed by weight-lifting and wrestling, in both of which he was a top class man. He was well educated, having passed his college entrance exams before he left school at Reval. As a boy he showed no sign of becoming abnormally strong, but extra-strenuous training earned him an enviable place amongst the foremost athletes of the world.
