Jiří Orság (Czech pronunciation: [ˈjɪr̝iː ˈorsaːk]; born 5 January 1989 in Znojmo) is a Czech weightlifter.

After the sanction he stopped training for 6 months; during this time he began a different healthy lifestyle, losing 12 kg and earning a certificate in bodybuilding and becoming a fitness instructor.

[2] He struggled upon returning to training, telling an interviewer it was like as if he hadn't touched it in 10 years.

For the first few weeks he was working on technique and the movements, but muscle memory helped speed up the process and after two months he was able to snatch 150 kg.

During this period of training, Orság was motivated by the goal of competing at the 2015 WWC and the 2016 EWC, competitions required to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
