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

Probably same "food" as Maiya Maneza did. :lol:

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.

      Which Sports Events are you Currently Watching?

      By phelps · Posted

      my problem isn't that*...it's that I just can't stand the test match format    I'd rather watch T20 or ODI...I don't like even the T10 format   *I just discovered that we can watch the 7+ ott also here in Italy, just need a good  VPN and a bit of patience to register to their portal (it's completely free, and the app on the amazon firestick works way better than the regular website on my PC)    for those who like to dare, there's a chance to subscribe to Kayo Sports, too, but I didn't take the risk yet...you know...   meanwhile, for those who are more into "a certain kind of stuff"  there's always the magical app Sportsfire (it works basically only on the amazon firestick, though)...and you have a whole world at your feet  (when it worls )

      Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?

      Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated

      Luge FIL World Cup 2024 - 2025

      By copravolley · Posted

      Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.
