None of Today's scores are good enough to enter the useful positions of the men's -102kg OQR, but Abokahla's 387kg are just 1 kilo below the current line (unless there are some doping issues I forgot once again  is  Adiletuly still with us or we lost him, too? )

Adiletuly is also banned and should be removed

 

and Abokahla is going to 89kg (he has a good position in the ranking already) , his 102kg ranking doesn't matter

 

 

great gold medal for Egypt but I was more impressed with the other Egyptian guy, the 18 years old who finished 4th.

any idea about group B results in Women's -71 kg ?

Thanks!

 

for what concerns Abokahla, I think he would have more chances going up to 102kg rather than down to 89kg (where he has a good 375kg record, but the medals are 20kg higher)

 

meanwhile raising his BW to 102kg might give him a chance to go close to 400kg total (and a medal is safe around 395 in that class)

 

basically, you need a better score in the -89kg than in the -102kg to medal at the Olympics this time

Karim Abokahla just entered 96kg competition to secure a medal.. he will return back to his Olympic body weight class (89kg)

the 2 Egyptians on the 102 list would be yasser and Mahmoud (who competed today in 96 kg category) Mahmoud is just 18 yrs so I presume he competed to gain experience 

[phelps 7,746]

in the women's -71kg, Gold went to  Liao Guifang with a Total of 273kg (first World Record of these Championships) ahead of  Angie Palacios Dajomes with 255kg

 

Bronze went to  Olivia Reeves with 253kg

 

 Liao also won both Snatch and C&J gold medals (with another WR in C&J)

 

in the women's -71kg OQR, I fear that  Giulia Miserendino and  Chen Wen-Huei are the big loser from Today, dropping from the 9th and 10th useful position out of the top 10  

 

meanwhile  Neama Said and  Amanda Schott are the new entries in the top 10 positions

 

 

for  this championship is an absolute disaster (except for the good Sergio Massidda in the men's -61kg)

I also think looking at his body it won't be easy for him to cut weight. @thepharoah should know better but at least for now I think he is going 89kg but I might be wrong

 

but I don't think 395kg will be enough for medal in Paris. lots of favorites didn't show their best yet. some of them are easily capable of lifting +400kg total. and some guys like Nurudinov might cut weight from 109kg.

I know, but he's limiting his chances in that class

 

most likely, the 18 yr old guy has a lot more potential to gain BW and improve his score, so it's kind of an obligated move to get down to 89kg for Abokahla, but still...

I think he's the only one who could do it successfully
