today we had a competition between weightlifters to determine the national team for the Olympics, coach will announce the team soon but here is the result , not impressing at all.

 

Ayoub Mousavi (85) 165+200=365 (162X 162X 165 / 200 210X 211X)

Ali Hashemi (94) 175+no mark ! (172X 175 180X / 212X 212X 215X)

Sohrab Moradi (94) 180+234=414 (180 185X 188X / 220 234 -)

Mohammad Reza Barari (105) 180+220=400 (180 185X 185X / 220 225X 225X )

Bahador Molaei (+105) 190+240=430 (190 195X 195X / 240 252X -)

 

Kianoush Rostami (85) is training separately in another city (in Tehran) and wasn't even there to compete and Behdad Salimi decided to not.

 

Moradi's 234kg rcord is 1kg higher than Ilya Ilyin current world record. still his snatch wasn't impressing by his standards, still he will be clear favorite for gold in Rio. others didn't impress at all. specially Barari and Hashemi they lifted even less than their Fajr Cup results ! Bahador has improved by 20kg which is a good sign, still he needs 10 more kilos to compete for a medal in Rio.

 

I think they will drop Mousavi for sure, Rostami, Moradi and Salimi are already selected. the last 2 spots are between Hashemi, Barari and Molaei

 

Wait, 234kg and 1kg above Ilyin's record? Am I missing something or is that a huge sign for him dominating in Rio? :d (I don't know, are these kind of competitions at their actual body weight or are they maybe a bit heavier there?) 

 

 

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

what's happened to his snatch move? i saw a video about 1 year ago which shows 200 snatch and 240 clean and jerk. i know it's some possible training act , but i expected at least 188 kg snatch! link

 

 

 

btw Adrian Zielinski new record in polish championship 188+221=409kg

well this is not surprising for me ! actually I'm a bit surprised by his poor snatch, even though snatch is always tricky, sometimes you miss a weight you usually can lift easily. I think I said before that he will be the clear favorite for the gold in Rio. probably Iran's best chance in all sports. IWF already banned most of his serious opponents.

 

as far as I know our new coach prefers to keep them near the actual body weight, he did participate in Fajr Cup and Pan American Champs few weeks ago , so I guess he is somewhere near the competition weight.

Apparently we will have two more athletes in Rio !

two Iranian hammer thrower competed in an age group tourney in Belarus as invitee and both reached the Olympic standard (and broke the national record), even though they believe they are qualified for Rio but our federation is not sure yet and they are contacting the Belarus federation to know about the validation of this tournament !

 

here is a link for the results, page 8. I think it was an official competition and they are qualified but better to wait for official announcement from the federation.

http://bfla.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/turnir-tichona-2016.pdf

 

they are

Kaveh Mousavi and Pejman Ghalehnoei

since Belarus federation approved the results, both Mousavi and Ghalehnoei are now officially qualified for Rio, Iran will get one more quota in Swimming through wild card or universality places or whatever. which means we will send 63 athletes (including 9 women) to Rio, unless someone gets injured or something, this is our final number.

 

Wrestling 12

Volleyball 12

Athletics 10

Shooting 5

Weightlifting 5

Taekwondo 4

Judo 3

Table Tennis 3

Cycling 3

Fencing 2

Rowing 1

Boxing 1

Swimming 1

Archery 1

    • Some other fast swims today include a new commonwealth record by Duncan Scott in the 400m free and a European record in the 100m IM by Marchand. Watch out for some quick swims in the 200m free and 200m IM later on. 
    • Last stop on this TISC Central Asia tour: Turkmenistan    One of the most closed and censored lands in the world, Turkmenistan is a place with incredible things to visit, with a beautiful desert landscape, historical ruins from ancient civilisations, and the unique "Door to Hell".   But it is also a country where everything is controlled and restricted (we had no access to social networks and tons of blocked websites, can only enter with invitation letter, with a predefined tour and accompanied by a guide at all times), with giant megalomaniac buildings created in order to maintain a cult of the leader and its regime. It basically felt like what i imagine is North Korea (but without the hate for americans).   It is eccentric, it is impressive, but above all, it is bizarre. Here is a patriotic catchy song i heard when was traveling there. .      Mähri Pirgulyýewa – Halkyň arkadagly zamanasy

    • Took a couple of videos, but completely forgot to take even a single picture and the file size of the videos are too big for Totallympics so I had to find a site to upload it to   https://streamable.com/ga23lv   Vibes at the game were good, place was loud, and I downed a $6 poutine from Costco before the game. Unfortunately, the game didn’t go so well, it took us a solid 45 minutes to actually start playing hockey besides some bursts here and there, and after coming back from down 1-3 we gave up the OT goal less than a minute in (Typical Canucks fashion), but  Lankinen stole us a point, they had so many solid opportunities on him and we had no business staying close.    Really mediocre start to the season for the Canucks so far, even with 11 points in 8 games, a lot of players not showing up (Petey, Soucy, Myers, Hög, Miller, DeBrusk, although for DeBrusk he’s been known to have a streaky game) and our power play and overtime have been fucking dogshit (power play has been like this for years). Shoutout to Garland, Hughes, Sherwood and Lankinen though they’ve been incredible so far
