'''Halil Mutlu''' (born '''Halil Aliev''' ({{Langx|bg|Халил Алиев}})<ref>[http://www.blitz.bg/sport/article/153025 Халил Мутлу: Децата ми не знаят български, но ще ги науча]</ref> on 14 July 1973 in Postnik, [[Bulgaria]]) is a former professional [[Turkish people|Turkish]] weightlifter with several World and [[Olympic Games|Olympic]] championship titles. Mutlu is one of the six weightlifters who has achieved three consecutive gold medals at the Olympic Games. His weightlifting career includes five World championships, nine European championships and more than 20 world records at {{convert|52|kg|lb|.00|abbr=on}}, {{convert|54|kg|lb|.0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|56|kg|lb|.0|abbr=on}} combined.<ref name="srwl">{{cite web|url=https://strengthrecord.com/weightlifting-world-records/ |title=STRENGTH RECORD, Weightlifting World Records |website=www.strengthrecord.com |access-date=15 April 2025}}</ref>

==Career==
In 1994, he won both the European and world championships, titles that would soon become commonplace for him. He made his first Olympic appearance in 1992 in the 52&nbsp;kg category and finished fifth.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE1DD103CF934A15754C0A964958260|title= BARCELONA|newspaper= [[The New York Times]]|date= 1992-07-27|access-date= 2008-12-13}}</ref> In 1996, in the 54&nbsp;kg category, the reigning world champion and world record holder, Mutlu broke the world record in the [[snatch (weightlifting)|snatch]] and went on to win the gold medal by 7.5&nbsp;kg.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A04EFDC1639F932A15754C0A960958260|title= ATLANTA: DAY 2 -- ROUNDUP;WEIGHT LIFTING: Turk Takes Gold Medal at 119 Pounds|newspaper= [[The New York Times]]|date= 1996-07-21|access-date= 2008-12-13}}</ref> At the 1999 World Championships he beat silver medal winner [[Adrian Jigău]] by around 20&nbsp;kg and set a new world record.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9805E4DF1F3CF930A15752C1A96F958260|title= PLUS: WEIGHT LIFTING -- WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS; Mutlu of Turkey Sets Three Records|newspaper= [[The New York Times]]|date= 1999-11-23|access-date= 2008-12-13}}</ref> He remained undefeated until the [[2000 Summer Olympics|2000 Olympics in Sydney]], where he was even more dominant than he had been in [[1996 Summer Olympics|Atlanta]]. This time he set world records in both the snatch and the [[clean and jerk]] and won by 17.5&nbsp;kg in the 56&nbsp;kg category.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9A0CE1D81F38F934A2575AC0A9669C8B63|title= SYDNEY 2000: ROUNDUP -- WEIGHT LIFTING; The Fight for Second|newspaper= [[The New York Times]]|date= 2000-09-17|access-date= 2008-12-13}}</ref>

He was suffering from a shoulder injury in 2003 and temporarily moved to the 62&nbsp;kg class. His career appeared in doubt after a torn right [[rotator cuff]] and ruptured biceps [[tendon]] sidelined him for most of 2002.

Mutlu dominated in his weight class since mid-1990s. By the time of the Athens Olympics in 2004, Mutlu won the world championship five times, although he had missed the 2002 season because of injury. In Athens he out lifted [[Wu Meijin]] of China by 5&nbsp;kg in the snatch and then extended his lead in the jerk to earn victory by 7.5&nbsp;kg. At 31, he captured his third consecutive gold medal at the Olympics in Athens.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9801E1DD133FF935A2575BC0A9629C8B63|title=  OLYMPICS: ROUNDUP; WEIGHT LIFTING: MUTLU OF TURKEY WINS THIRD GOLD|newspaper= [[The New York Times]]|date= 2004-08-16|access-date= 2008-12-13}}</ref>

===Steroid ban===
In 2005, Mutlu was banned from international competition by the International Weightlifting Federation for 2 years for use of [[anabolic steroid]] [[Nandrolone]], although he insists that he never knowingly took steroids. The Turkish Weightlifting Federation itself had been suspended by the IWF for "repeated anti-doping violations" until May 2006. He pulled out of the [[2008 Beijing Olympics]] stating that he was not able to "lift my targeted weight in practice." As a penalty, he was expelled from the ASKI.<ref>{{cite news
