Kashirina! This athlete deserves also gold in Olympics! Go for 2020 now!

As long as there's no complete domination like in earlier years, sure  This was an awesome fight going down to the very last lifts for gold and that's all I wanna see anyway

Anyway that was a great show by both athletes and Congrats also for thailand for another medal in this WCH

How long until the men's competition starts? I will watch this sport for the first time today, so I'm excited. I've seen videos here and there, but following a live competition will be the fist time.

It's the best. They have the best candies, they're great. There's @hckosice's Kämil Market, it's the best market ever. It's great.

Looks like Eurosport doesnt cover WC,fact that shocked me. 

Thanks!

It's planned for 10:25 Brasilia time, usually it starts 5-10 minutes later than that. So a bit more than an hour

Small warning for our Brazilian friend, in case he has to watch on a stream instead of TV: the scoreboard is a tiny bit ahead of live streams, so take care not to spoil the results

Funny thing is that Albegov is somewhat famous in... erm... gay "communities". There are many pictures of him on Tumblr, if you know what I mean. Or so I was told.

And Talakhadze opening at 208  

 

The only time he ever opened higher was at last year's world champs, where he went from 210 to 215 to 220 WR.
