Jiang, Snatch 92 kg, C&J 114kg and total 206 kg.

Apparently bookmakers have Martirosyan as huge favourite, but shouldn't Nurudinov at least be somewhat close? I mean, Martirosyan's biggest results in terms of kg's all came when he was well over 109kg, while Nurudinov's best results mostly came around 105kg. hmmm, Martirosyan's entry is much better but then we know Armenians usually post entries much higher than their capabilities. and on other hand Nurudinov usually doesn't show his cards and post low entries. if you ask me I still pick Nurudinov. Armenians are good but they rarely win the whole thing. (actually only one gold in whole history !!)

Prapawadee is somewhat annoying since she changed her surname too (I think her whole family also change theirs, since according to the Thai law people of the same surname must be related) MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
