You never saw the same promotion for South Korea, Japan, Philippines, or Indonesia despite also producing good lifters without systematic doping.
I understand from a commercial standpoint that promoting certain personalities will increase eyes on the sport. But also this celebrity culture and the weird parasocial relationships around them can turn quite sour.

We’re Italian: we have good food, a beautiful sea, and beautiful girls! XD
Jokes aside, I had high hopes for the continuation of a cycle that, evidently, seems to have already come to an end. The political and sporting future of the Federation is highly uncertain.
Another thing: reading Fleming's post, I realized that the time between the weigh-in and the competition has indeed been increased by one hour. Have there been any changes to the rules? What do you think?
