No notable results other than PRK win 94/121, 4/4 at 49.
Only looked at scoreboard.

Most copyrighted music playlist in history. Zero chance this gets uploaded to Youtube.

W53
Is there some kind of upper limb injury for ZHAO Jinlan CHN? Would have been nice to see PRK pushed a little more for gold

M60
YANG Yang CHN unfortunate to be so talented in a category that shouldn't exist.

M65
HE Yueji CHN and PAK Myong Jin PRK decent battle for gold. He missing on 179-180 has to sting.
TRAN Minh Tri VIE - mythical Vietnamese 4/6 for bronze.
IRAWAN Eko Yuli INA is my favorite for still being in the sport for so long at such a high level. What a legend.

SPOILERS

W57
OH Kwang Ok PRK wins, 6/6.
Another Viet 4/6. Unusual.
Otherwise uneventful.
Watched this mostly at work, didn't pay much attention. Non-Olympic category so the talent has moved out quickly.

W61
Very exciting session towards the end!

Great battle between YANG Liuyue CHN and PAK Jin Hae PRK.
Pak misses and makes 109 snatch, Yang moves ahead with a 112 snatch.
Pak opens 135, gets jury overturned. Yang makes 135 easily, followed by a good correction from Pak.
139 for Yang, difficult clean. Locks the squat jerk well but can't stand up, tries to bounce out and misses.
Pak then takes 139 and makes it convincingly - 3 whites.
Yang then takes 139 again. Grindy, grindy clean. Settles herself, and throws her body right down into the squat jerk, wobbling and saving the lift for gold.

Yang Liuyue reminds me of a little Liao Guifang. Jury stops splitting both Koreas like the USA.

M70
Ri Won Ju PRK 151/198WR, 349WR. That is an incredible C&J.
Myamoto JPN 154WR/188, 342.
De la Santos PHI 141/183 JWR, 324 JWR.

Myamoto has to double bounce his cleans, Ri's cleans look like a mild chore.

M75
Rahmat Abdullah 160/206WR, 366WR.
Weeraphon Wichuma 160/205, 365.
Ri Chong Song 162WR/195, 357.

I dont think I can add any comments that do this session justice except to rhetorically ask, 'what are we going to see this quad from these guys?' And no Riski due to whereabouts violation.




W69
Song Kuk Wang PRK 121WR/152WR, 273WR
Chen Wen-Huai TPI 106/126, 232
Grueso Ingrid BRN 101/128, 229

We're in Slivenko territory already.

M85
Ro Kwang Ryol PRK 165/214, 379kg
Alex Churchin KAZ 173/205, 378kg
Chen Shunnan CHN 163/211, 374kg

Javadi swings for the fences with 217 at the end. I love a miss then make to win, Ryol needed 2 goes at 214kg. Is it just me or where the snatch reps a little low in this session?

Ali Ammar IRQ outstanding snatches up to 219. Unfortunate with the loss in the CJs due to some kind of technical/coaching error?

M75 outstanding. No notes.
W69 Song was cool. Rest meh.
M110 and W86+ looked exciting on the start list, fizzled out.
