China is as of today, entitled to send a full team. 

 

For me, I have seen it somewhere else where China was supposed to have 10 or 11. And it was like half an year ago or something like. I guess they must have "bought it" .  Cause if u remember only Olympic vialotions, there cannot be only 3-4 in total. Will see, cause the final word will have IOC anyway

Non-Olympic weight which I guess none of the best cares about. Results were much stronger in -64kg.

This is just bullshit.

 

China has 7 doping cases and can send a full team. I personally kept the count of doping cases even before IWF published the list, as you can check here on the other thread:

Heck what is the Iraqi athlete doing

Silver in total and bronze in CJ for Ali Miri. not bad . and I'm sure in few years  nobody will remember it was a non-Olympic weight

 

and the new rule of using video challenge helped him in his 2nd CJ attempt. WL is probably the easiest sport to use the video challenge, I don't know why they were so stubborn about it until now.

 

while most teams care about the Olympics. our coach tried to play "smart" and his team is winning medals in non-Olympic weights let's see what that idiot Rostami will do with Tian Tao tomorrow.

Watching the women's 55kg at the moment....really sad to see Genesis Rodriguez' attempts at clean & jerk It's so obvious her knee/leg is just really not ok and with every single attempt you can just see the injury going from 'relatively minor' to 'potentially really, really bad'  

 

Those three attempts could have made the difference between needing a few weeks of rest and possibly being out for months...I hope that's wrong though.

Hope China also is banned someday for doping!! 

Russia is banned again? Their officials never learn.
