THREAD CONTAINS SPOILERS

First day already over. I'm waiting for YT channels to upload the sessions for everyone to view.

As usual a comparison with the Euro podium totals will not be spared.

ALL SESSIONS:

Video of 45kg winner Wei Xixi

Excellent talents but it's unfortunate their jerk technique (both Wei Xixi and Shi Luoying, sp?) is terrible even before they get to the national team where it will be made worse.

The snatch winner is spelled Xu Luying 徐璐莹.

Apparently her and Wei are still Juniors and both 81 snatch and 183 total surpass the Junior WR.

Update: the two best 49s in the world (Jiang, Hou) were NOT attending the 49kg class, which is unsurprising given the Olympic qualifier is in two weeks. Despite this the class was won with a total unachievable for any other country (currently anyway): 206 by Xiang Linxiang 向林香 (also still a Junior).

We can also discern from this: the rest of the Chinese hopefuls in the Olympic categories will likely also not attend these champs.

Thanks for clarifying the name, my Mandarin skills are non-existent.

I'll have a look through full session later when I have some time + a Chinese VPN set up. Anything of note in the 55s?

Anything of note in the 55s?

Dunno lol. This class seems abandoned as it's non-Olympic? Was won with 93+122=215 which would've ranked 9th in the 2021 NG. Not certain if Liao Qiuyun is even still active.

[erpel]

Yang Qiuxia snatches 116@71 and is not on the A team.
Wu Yan totals 265@81 and is not on the A team.

Liao Guifang etc. better deliver at Asians...

Edit: last day, Sun Yongjie again cleaned but not jerked a WR 188kg

[strapping]

why is peng cuiting still not a fattened up 81 with actual leg and/or back strength

[erpel]

I don't think she can develop that. Even at 76 now (and not a junior for some time) she still struggles with 135+. And for 81 she would need 145+, assuming she snatches 125-130.
