CHN lifters seemed to be poorly prepared (so far), given the location.

The last lift at M65 wouldn't have been overturned ten years ago, but potentially received two reds initially nonetheless.

205 clean at M70 is pretty crazy.

M70 boring outside of two DPRK lifters going hard. 205 clean and jerk (and elbow injury) at 70 is crazy.
M75 pretty good but not going to lie that I had higher expectations. I wonder if Rahmat was doing the showmanship just to cover up stress over the time. Not having a 3rd snatch attempt to save energy for the clean and jerk seems like a big tactical risk for bigger competitions.
W61 great session.

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