The IWF is def an F tier world governing body across the board. The only thing they have going is that their sport is entertaining when presented the right way. Expand They need some PR people, because I was thoroughly entertained watching it the other night as I said. I thought it was like high jump where weights keep going up and the competitors lift it to move on. But no, they only get the three lifts and it's so strategic and suspenseful. Really cool.

orangeman 2,008 Posted July 31, 2021 #1632 Share Posted July 31, 2021 De Grasse ties his PB without even trying, it looked like. He looked over and slowed down towards the end.

Expand Looking at numbers, Boady will need a significant PB in the next round to make the podium. His PB is 210, but it'll likely take high teens at least to make it up there.
