yeah I remember that , and also North Korea didn't participate because of visa issues.

 

so many countries won their first ever WL medal last year. that was a "special competition" specially for lighter divisions. which won't happen again.

 

for example an average Iranian weightlifter Ali Hashemi won the gold medal at 105kg, with a record 13kg lower than 94kg gold medalist Moradi !

I peeked to Turkmen Sport TV and I saw the weirdest laser show ever in the opening (tanker truck laser projection, wtf)

Wait I think I got the times wrong, men's 55kg starts in a few minutes or in one hour and a few minutes?

In few minutes :P Around 15 minutes I guess

By the way about the name abbreviations: it's not perfect, but just keep the start list close and it's not hard to know who's who....more importantly they finally have some sort of live graphics, although it's still a bit 'meh' that during the CJ they show the CJ standings in those graphics instead of the much more important total standings  

 

But still, improvement!

That is awesome  Start in a little over one hour would have been too late for me and I would have missed most

Since I was in time only to see the last two attempts (one Thai and one Turkmen), and the commentator was a little vague about the 'judges error' in the 2nd attempt, what happened exactly? I am looking the video now and see she tried and succesfully lifted 104kg, but then did the second attempt again at 105 (and missed it). I read a comment here that there was a wrong weight, so can anyone enlighten me? In the '104kg' lift, how much did she actually lift?

I don't care what happens in the next hour or so of my life, let's go Om
