Valery Pyetrovich Shary (Belarusian: Валерый Пятровіч Шарый, born January 2, 1947) is a former Byelorussian weightlifter and Olympic champion who competed for the Soviet Union.[1]
He was born in Chervyen.
Shary won a gold medal at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal in light-heavyweight weightlifting, setting an Olympic record in the process.[2][3] He also won the 1965 and 1976 World Championships in the same weight class.[3]
