This is the guy.

Short arms are a big advantage in several weightlifting events.

The devout Muslim, who whispers a prayer before each lift, looks set to increase his world records towards the 500-kg mark in two lifts but may wait until Beijing in 2008 to attempt this mythical weight.

Actually he shouts a prayer to Allah about three times during his lift routine. There is certainly no "whisper" involved.

"Hossein Reza Zadeh from Iran set two new world records at +105 kg. Weightlifting category and won the gold medal. The 26-year old athlete, called also "Iranian Hercules", lifted 263,5kg in Clean & Jerk and 473.5kg in total, breaking his own previous records (263kg and 472,5kg respectively). Before the Olympic Games, the gold medallist in Sydney had stated that he wanted another gold medal in Athens, an ambition that he finally achieved."
