Minor competition thread

Liu Huanhua surprised me, I expected 190 to be an absolute limit on the snatch but it appears like it can be a consistent 3rd attempt or somewhat reasonable second attempt. Catching the bounce on the 230 was beautiful and I hope to see him make that an opening attempt in the future. I do not think he can keep pace with Akbar on the snatch (whom I suspect will raise the record to 200+ soon), but I think we may see some solid attempts with 240+ from him and Akbar in the future, possibly this fall.
