Abraham Charité

Abraham Charité was a Dutch weightlifter. He was born and died in The Hague. He won a bronze medal in the heavyweight class at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, breaking national records in all three moves. As of 2014 this remains the last Olympic medal in weightlifting for the Netherlands. The 1948 Olympics also counted as European Championships, and thus Charité became a 1948 European champion as the gold and silver medals were won by Americans.
