There is a dearth of training videos (other than competition footage) for SHW women. It's a shame.

The female super class is one of the most consistently interesting classes the last few years.

Li Wenwen is the female Lasha, and every time Campbell and Robles go out there head to head its outstanding competition. Chaidee looks like she will provide be a genuine medal threat for some time and then Sth Korea has 2 great lifters who could jerk into the 160's at some point, Park and Son.

Wasn't there a Korean YT channel which featured the two younger SHW from time to time? Though this may have been years ago.

I'm pretty sure there was. Finding it would be a challenge given I'm not a Korean speaker but enough monkeys with typewriters etc.

These are the Korean YTs that I've found, only one female so far:

Two of those channels are Korean karaoke channels.

Unrelated, it's frustrating that none of the documentation around the 7th Qatar Cup (1st-4th Jan 2023) seems to be available and I haven't seen any footage. It's a ghost competition apparently.

Does South Korea get enough credit? I know they didn't medal in Tokyo but they have had some outstanding lifters internationally.

Sa Jae-Hyouk and Jang Mi-Ran were such great lifters at a time when we know doping standards were far more loose than now. Lee Ba-Young jerked 190 and snatched 152.5 at 69kg, Yoon Ji-hee totaled 213 @ 53, these are outstanding numbers. Kim Min-Jae was born 10 years too early, 185 Snatch at 94!
