If you have thinking, that it's been a year without scandals in Bulgarian weightlifting, fear no more.. :d:rolleyes:

 

So, after a couple of attempts, including one stripped hosting 2 years ago, we are finally going to host the European Weightlifting Championships in February. It is of course included in the Olympic qualification calendar. All good so far.

 

But on Friday, an adviser working for the Ministry of Sports was arrested for bribing the President of the weightlifting federation. He was asking for 30 k Euros from the President, so that the Ministry approves the funding of 600 k Euros for hosting the Euro Championships. This worker turned out to be the son of the National team coach. The next day, the coach himself - Ivan Ivanov, Olympic Champion 92, 4 times World Champion, was also arrested in suspicion of being an accomplice to his son..

 

The same National coach who has been on the helm for over a decade now and who the Federation have tried removing a few times in the past years. But every time the proposal of a new coach was brought up, almost all of the weightlifters, including Karlos Nasar, have said that they would boycott the National team, if Ivanov was not the coach. 

 

Given, that we have our biggest boom in the past 20 years, i'm not denying the work being done by Ivanov, but his relationship with the Federation was always very iffy. Not that those guys are some saints, not by any means, but you can never guess who's in the right. Let's see how things develop and if any charged will be pressed against him.

I don't know if it's more appropriate this :lol: or that :cry:

 

:mumble:

 

I mean, when people get in trouble it's never a good thing, but reading the equation 'Bulgarian weightlifting = scandals' makes me laugh because it happens so often that's like saying 'water is wet', more or less :facepalm:

IWF will probably update its website with Asian and African Championship results after few days (or weeks) lots of World Records had been broken by PRK weightlifters:d, also Rahmat Erwin did great and broke the WR once again. 

 

but from what I can see there are not much changes in the Olympic ranking. in the women's side :KOR Kim Su-hyeon made a big move into top ten (Women's 81kg) by 254kg record yesterday

 

but today in men's 102kg we had a new sheriff in town. :UZB Akbar Djuraev made his debut at 102kg and moved up to the 3rd place in the ranking by a 400kg record.

 

he is a very good weightlifter, an Olympic Champion but a year ago he participated at the Asian Champs weighted almost 130kg. hard to imagine he can cut 30kg "normally" :yikes: and still lifts great. it will be interesting to learn what they eat in Uzbekistan :d

oh, man!

 

I definitely need to meet his dietologist!

 

'cause I don't need to lift great weights (couple of shopping bags are enough), but I definitely need to cut 30/40kg "normally" :roflmao: :facepalm:

taking a look at the African Champs results. I can see only one change in the Olympic ranking top 10

 

AboKahla (EGY/89kg) moved up to #6 by lifting 381kg. he was already in top 10 though.

      There is a transgender volleyball player here in Brazil; there was even a recent controversy (this year) when a city banned her from playing in a certain competition, which ended up in court, ultimately in her favor.   But the situation is much simpler than that; the reason for this decision is because of the two female boxers who won at Paris 2024 (who apparently are not transgender).

      there were rumors about it for quite a while, but as I wrote, it was never confirmed so, it might well be just some haters throwing out some shit on her 🤷

      Where did you get that?   I'm not sure I would have considered her to have dissapeared from out of nowhere, at least since after Tokyo... she did win medals at the next two World Championships. I think it's just recently, she's been struggling with injury which is why she's completely out of form...

      Even though I'm not the biggest fan of her, always sucks to see a career ending through injury and not on your own terms

      This is going to have an effect on very likely 0 athletes, possibly 1 or 2 we don't really know about yet. It's really mostly the cheapest possible way for them to make a sort of political statement, without having any significant backlash since it won't really affect anyone at the top level of international sports.   Edit: worded a bit wrong, I was thrown off by everywhere 'trans women' being mentioned as the target of this. Of course there is also the somewhat larger category of DSD and the likes, which will certainly affect a few athletes - unfortunately they are often thrown under the bus or mentioned as 'not really women anyway' or something like that, despite, you know, being.

      Mary Rand has died aged 86. The first British woman to win a Gold in track and field at the 1964 Tokyo Games (where she also took home a further two medals in the Women’s 4x100m relay and Pentathlon).

      Athing Mu competed in the USA trials in 2024 and 2025 post the 2023 rule changes. She also won Gold in 2022 and Bronze in 2023.    Jelimo the jury is out. She doesn’t look male like the other two do.

      People focus on trans people because it's easier to pinpoint the affected athletes. Meanwhile it's the athletes with (suspected) DSDs that will have tougher time to convince the authorities and the public opinion that they belong to women's sports.
