Biographies of living persons rules
Misplaced Pages is not here to decide what Mr Dimas is. Pyrros Dimas considers himself an ethnic Greek, being Greece's flagbearer at two Olympics, including Athens 2004. Respect his right to self-determination.
We must say he is white and not a mexican. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.139.57 (talk) 00:28, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Other
Pyrros Dimas real name is Pirro Dhima and he is albanian from Albania.
- As the article states he was born in Albania but is of Greek descent, just as Naim Suleymanoglu was born in Bulgaria but is of Turkish descent. There is a substantial Greek minority in southern Albania mainly in cities like Himara, Korce, Saranda and others. Kalambaki2 13:27, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Albania has a small Greek minority when we took in your communist Greeks after your civil war, whether or not Pirro Dhima was a Greek or not is unimportant, he was born in Albania and thats where he grew up. He only migrated to Greece in order to profit from weightlifting. (dr.ilir)
i have also removed your northern epirus bit because it is insulting to my people.
'I'm from... ugh, let me check my passport.
Nationality in sport, once clear-cut, has become seriously muddied following the break-up of the Soviet bloc and the increasing transfer of talent from poor to rich countries. example:
Greece naturalized Albanian Pyrros Dimas in 1992 and he went on to win three Olympic weightlifting golds.Dimas born in Himara, Albania to parents of Greek origin, and emigrated to Greece in 1991.--Taulant23 00:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Greek or Albanian
Has Pyrros Dimas ever called himself Albanian?
Furthermore, Albanians must really have money problems if there are 1.2 million of them in Greece (which I'm sure entered illegally), and hopefully when Greece has an Albanian president, hopeful he would have migrated legitimately and not just stroll over the border.
Lastly, yes you are correct, whatever Greece does (e.g. use names at a nationalistic level) MUST have territorial aspirations, because NO OTHER country does except Greece.
To conclude....... blah, blah, blah, blah.

Why are u Greeks afraid of? Why the place where he was born make u guys afraid?
Like Alesandros, wtever people can say, he fought for Greece so why does it matter so much where was he born.
In Albania,Pyrros or Pirro got his education,trained hard, migrated to Greece in order to profit from weightlifting.
But Greece gave him a lot, and by the way YES, he worked hard for himself and for the name of Greece.--Taulant23 22:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Have you actually got a source about his parents being Albanian? There is a Greek minority in Southern Albania, unless you haven't been informed. I agree with the Albanian name being added to the article, after all he was born there, but the Greek parents statement stays unless you find proof. Please provide it, otherwise I'll revert it in 12h. Kalambaki2 23:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Well I know his parentsa are Albanian,his mom is still in Albania.She lives in their 3 stories house--71.103.71.211 04:51, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Improve this article!
There is a wikipedia photo of Pyrros here, but no matter how I tried I couldn't paste in this article. If someone could be so kind... additionally, Pyrros has a special relationship with Litohoro in Pieria... I think his wife is from there, but I'm not certain, if someone could also clarify this and add it. Thanx! This guy DESERVES a good article. Kalambaki2 18:29, 23 August 2007 (UTC) Well I got the pic from the article but because its in Greek it wont let me use it in this article.--Taulant23 23:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't make you fall in love with the Albanians or Greeks.
I can't make you fall in love with the Albanians or Greeks, nor can I make all of my fellow Albanians fall in love with you. But like it or not, we are FIRST COUSINS! and it's a sad thing to hate your ethnic relatives more than you hate the Slavic or Ottomans invaders.There is lots of confusion and ignorance, but things can change and I think Albanian immigrants could play a key role there.Albania and Greece are helping each other more and more these days. By the way, the albanian origin of the Arvanites or even Pyrros Dimas(Pirro Dhima) only STRENGHTENS Greek/Albanian affinity, it doesn't weaken it.--Taulant23 23:56, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- If that's the case, then they (Albanians) can apply for a visa and come to the country (Greece) legitimately, not by jumping the boarders and stilling jobs by working for a fraction of the salary, that's why there is this hostility.... they just walk into to Greece and do their on bloody ting.

- p.s. Pyrros is Greek, not Albanian.
Personal Best numbers are utterly wrong. None can squat more than they deadlift! Also, 330Kg squat is rediculous. Where did you get these numbers? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.75.8.167 (talk) 07:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
