Weightlifting Forums

Yousefi's clean at 263 is the easiest clean I've ever seen at 260kg or more. Until he can snatch 200 we're going to see some great swinging for the fences from him on 3rd attempts. Hard to say what Rubaiawi's ceiling is, I dont think its 492kg, but its going to be fun to watch. 4 lifters totaling 45...

Is this clear for everyone now?

The number of WR's that occurred in that 85 session immediately casts concerns of fairness in how this extra LA28 slot will be awarded.

I dont think Rahmat is doing anything to change the lifting gods opinion of him.

I'm seeing reports that David Rigert has passed away age 79.

Everyone fine with this?

Thinking locally, domestic federations have to seriously think about whether its in their best interests to adopt the 3 hour weigh in rule. Some competition days are exceptionally long, this is going to make that worse.

And here it is. Changes to the Referee/Jury video playback system and 3 hour weigh ins.
