207kg like it's a cup of milk

Minasyan had this chance to be WR holder for 1 minute but he missed it

His first and only chance in his life probably

215? Boooo, I wanted to see 221.

Only 217 by Lasha  he could have done at least 2 kilos more IMO

I'm sure he had that in mind when he chose 211kg and not anything else.

 

OK even 217kg was too easy for Lasha, I wonder if there is any limit for him. he could lift 221 today if IWF didn't erase the old WRs.

I honestly don't know why he didn't try 221. I mean:

 

1) Everyone knows that would have been the 'real' WR

2) He was already quite far ahead anyway plus he'll probably gain another million kilograms in the CJ

3) His first two attempts looked like there was no weight on the bar

well maybe he needed one safe attempt (even tough to be honest even 217 was safe for him ) 2nd attempt to break the WR and 3rd attempt to increase it. I mean it makes sense from his points of view. but of course I wanted to see more like you.

 

maybe he is thinking about a very good WR in total , and he didn't risk for a big jump in snatch.

 

speaking of real "WR" when they erased all records in 1998, people only remembered those old records for couple years and then like it never happened before.. Talakhadze probably had that in mind.

 

personally I think they should keep the super heavy weight WRs. obviously there is no difference between +105kg and +109kg
