all gold medal in 4 first categories in both men and women have gone to Asian countries (Indonesia, China, Thailand, Chinese Taipei). Sport has clearly become Asian-dominated

Barely any different than 10 years ago.

Karapetyan has the standard WR as his opening attempt in the 81kg for now.

[phelps 7,746]

and Suharevs has a Jr. WR in the Snatch before the A group starts...

 

by the way, the 2 Slovaks Richard Tkach and Karol Samko had a total of 320 and 319 respectively in the C group, which means that they are already in 18th and 19th position before the whole A group...

but at least they didn't bomb out and get a final ranking (and a few OQR points)...

just to let our friend @hckosice know about his compatriots...

I noticed that Kazakh weightlifters keeps sniffing something from small bottles. What is that?

It's probably smelling salts, also known as ammonia inhalants.

Rejepow, dude

[MHSN 3,645]

Rejepov so it was crowd's fault ?!

Karapetyan still having his first attempt at 170kg WR, I feel such an epic fail coming up.
