Gleb Olegovich Pisarevskiy (Russian: Глеб Олегович Писаревский; born 28 June 1976 in Arkhangelsk) is a Russian weightlifter and an honored Master of Sports who won the bronze medal in the 105 kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics with a 190 kg snatch and a 225 kg clean and jerk. Pisarevskiy is widely regarded as one of the greatest weightlifting technicians of all time.
Despite limited success on the international stage, Pisarevskiy was renowned as an outstanding lifter in training. Alongside his Olympic bronze medal in 2004, Pisarevskiy is notable for his 255 kg clean during preparations for the Olympics, which remains the heaviest recorded clean by any non super-heavyweight lifter. Additionally, he is among the heavyweight lifters with the highest number of documented snatches over 200 kg.
