A new biopic dedicated to the life of Turkey’s three-time Olympic gold medal-winning weightlifter, Naim Süleymanoğlu, has been released at cinemas in his home country.
Nicknamed “Pocket Hercules” due to his short stature, Süleymanoğlu became a global star during a career that saw him break 46 world records.
The Turk died of liver failure at the age of 50 in November 2017.
He had been admitted to the Memorial Atasehir Hospital in Istanbul for a liver transplant in the month prior to his death.
