Halil Mutlu Halil Mutlu
How did he do in Athens?
As expected, becoming the fourth weight lifter to win three Olympic gold medals.

And Mutlu isn't planning on stopping there, going for a fourth gold in Beijing in 2008.

What Newsround said before the Games?
Halil Mutlu will be one of biggest names at the Olympics, even if he is one of the smallest competitors to take part in the Games.

The tiny weightlifter from Turkey is only 4ft 11in tall and is chasing his third Olympic gold medal.

He can lift more than three times his own body weight, and may need to in order to capture yet another gold medal.

He's lifting in a heavier category than at the last Games, but having won gold at the European and world championships, is a big favourite to do it again in Athens.
