Will try to get Russian broadcasts.

China domestically already uses the LA28 classes, e.g. these are their standards for M95:

AWC pushed back a month.

But at least ISR/USA lifters will be barred from competing in IWF comps... OH WAIT

Liao has a 280 entry total btw. I predict attempts at 115-120-124 & 145-150-156. It's clear all three (Song PRK) can do very similar numbers.

I found PRK entries surprisingly low. Also all of their names are in the wrong order. CHN only entering (closest to) OG classes this early is wild, forcing Zhao from 45 to 53 is too. I'm assuming Luo will go W61 and not retire... I can't keep up with KAZ bans. I hadn't even thought about the AG bein...

AWC entries:

As it falls outside of LA28 qualification I don't think anyone in ECU is bothered by this suspension.

Man, 2016 feels like a lifetime ago. In a way that 2008-2016 didn't. All this tinkering with team sizes, qualification and of course categories (eugh) was detrimental, when doping was supposedly the impetus.
