I'm shocked the jury did not interfere multiple times for some of that wobble.

Agreed. Terrible, no other notes.
I have seen the same thing locally, with similar predictable results (albeit less impressive weights).

Probably good to specify ZHAO Jinlan given her sister is a multiple world record holder. Their brother is a lifter too.
Conservative, but good attempt selection and excellent execution. Looked capable of about 1-2 more kilo each lift.

Not a good clean and jerk session to watch. Sad to see Pacaldo hurt his back seemingly quite badly (looked to have some loss of leg strength).
He Yueji's jerk looks better now, but snatch not as strong as it looked in the past. Not sure if he's had an injury, but he's visibly less reliant on his back and hamstrings now. Pak looks like a powerhouse but just not technically there.
Even though this category is underperforming historical performances at 62/69, the fact that it's so close at the top level will hopefully bring enough excitement to counteract the usual 30-35% attempt success rate of the lowest Olympic category.
edit: W58 not worth watching. Bad session, Liu Mengjia elbow injury, technical difficulties etc.
