Re: Minor competition thread
Rather meant he has the same awful 1/3 jerk ratio. He's weaker, yes. But he could clean 215@85 and medal in the total without that failure rate.

YONES Abdelrahman EGY 182 WR snatch +210 CJ (should never have passed, not under control) at 84 at African Championships.
Re: Minor competition thread
Liao Guifang 118 snatch on 3rd, Peng Cuiting 127 with 130x behind.
C&J: Peng 143 success (still heavy clean), Liao 147 then retires (wtf)

You forgot Maruschak returning with
after a 2 year ban and easily cleaning 145, sticking the jerk well enough to look like she could do 148.Re: Minor competition thread

Re: Minor competition thread
Asian Wsuper continues to be the most exciting
Li Yan 145 WR snatch, looked capable of a few more but not worth pushing. Ouissa Ikhlef 129x/130, Park Hyejeong 130x/131 great battle.

Will Park do 300 finally? edit: no
At this rate Li will attempt 150 in 2028 (boo).
edit2: TBH wasn't aware of the QAT lifter before today

Re: Minor competition thread
Women's super was great.
Men's super
Gor looked in shape, but not pushed to limit. Asian games?
Yousefi looked in reasonable shape. Unlucky to lose the hook mid snatch in the 3rd attempt. His decision to highlight the 168 martyred schoolgirls at the hands of the US government, following his WR clean and jerk, will probably get him a sternly worded letter from the IWF.
130/169 was beyond my expectation for her - I expected her to push with ~125/165 Park Hyejeong but to ultimately get beaten. But reality had different plans.
Liu unlock is a fair? but rough call by the standards of the competition. All strictly refereed competitions have inconsistent application.

OUISSAL Ikhlef QAT was formerly from Tunisia - not sure if she came from a different sport but she was clearly fresh and talented, before moving to Qatar and training with Ibrahim Hassona.She has been improving rapidly.

Chen didn't look like a happy lifter.
