2024 Senior World Championships

Entries for Senior Worlds, Rostami now lifting for Kosovo - I didn't have that on my bingo card.

As usual, 1072 entries doesn't tell us much at this point.

Can't wait for Rostami's next TED talk.

Kim Iseul (KOR) with an entry of 255 in the female 45kg category... A superheroine?

She's a changed woman, she starved herself down 35kg and acquired a forklift license to help her lift more.
As usual, the number of entries will drop once they realize they have to pay for their trip.

The Chinese B team appears once again but I don't expect them to send the entire team they've actually listed, maybe just some of those lifters. I'd be surprised if any of them have a breakout performance and make it to the national team.

Rostami's transfer to Iran hasn't been completed yet as Iran has not formally released him and there are no real relations between Kosovo and Iran.

Updated entry list is out. Fischerov BUL, Kakhi Asanidze (reserve) GEO still listed despite an active, and unresolved sanction respectively.

So Rostami is confirmed to compete for KOS?

I wouldn't be sure. We will have to wait to see the start list for confirmation.

No Rostami... sigh sigh...

Only 3 italians. There were many more entries in the preliminary lists but evidently many are not in optimal physical condition.
