Career
He competed for Israel at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in Weightlifting—Men's Featherweight.[3][5] Weitz placed 5th, with a combined lift of 578.7 pounds (262.5 kg; 110.0 kg in the snatch, and 152.5 kg in the clean and jerk), behind the bronze medalist Kazumasa Hirai of Japan's combined lift of 275.0 kg.[3][6][7] It was then the closest Israel had ever come to winning an Olympic medal.[8] At the time, he was 5–2.5 (160 cm) tall, and weighed 130 lbs (59 kg).[5]
Weitz won the gold medal in the featherweight division at the 1976 Asian Games, with a combined lift of 260 kg.[3] He was Israel's Sportsman of the Year that year.[3]
In 1998, Weitz was honored as one of the top 50 athletes in Israel's history.[3]
