BTW, aren't we allowed maximum three weightlifters for the Paris 2024 Olympics? If that is so I think the ones will be Carlos Nassar, Bozhidar Andreev and maybe Hristo Hristov. Fisherov had no chances.

I am not sure if Hristov will make the heavyweights in +102. Fischerov was definitely the first option at 102 for a quota between the two of them.

 

Yeah, we are entitled 3, with Andreev and Nasar certain to have 2 of those. Third one right now is going to be the 61 with Dimov (or Rusev if he manages to get a result). If Hristov cuts wait to 102, maybe they could consider him.

men's -109kg

 

Gold:  Akbar Djuraev 415kg

Silver:  Ruslan Nurudinov 407kg

Bronze:  Dadash Dadashbayli 403kg

 

Uzbek double in this weight class, but no scores will make any impression in the Olympic super-Heavyweights (and some guys will also go down to the -102kg class most likely)

 

 

women's +87kg

 

Gold:  Park Hye-Jeong 289kg

Silver:  Mary Theisen Lappen 277kg

Bronze:  Lisseth Ayovi 276kg

 

with the unexpected choke by  Li Wenwen and the absence of  Emily Campbell, the door was then open for the Korean Park and she didn't take any prisoner, dominating the field with more than 20 kilos advantage over the closest follower

 

in the women's +81kg OQR, no change has to be recorded, except for  Iuniarra Sipeia, who scored 264kg and enter the top 10 useful places by just 1 kilo (even if there are some girls in the ranking that might be out of contention because of doping violation -  Kovalchuk, personally or as a team - or might opt for the lower weight class -   Koanda - and therefore some of those currently behind the line might still get a direct quota place by the end of the OQ Period)

anyone knows if Emily Campbell didn't show in +87 category due to injury or just as a tactical move?

Egyptian Coaches tried to be mysterious about entry of +109 guy and put him in Group D , he just failed to register any good lift in Snatch 

[phelps 8,287]

 Lasha Talakhadze did it again!

 

the Georgian giant swept the gold medals in the men's +109kg competition with a Total of 473kg (220kg in snatch, 253 in C&J)

 

however, he appeared to have injured his right wrist in the last attempt in C&J (when he missed the 260kg lift, but he had already secured all the titles)

 

Silver in the Olympic Total went to  Varazdat Lalayan with 460kg, meanwhile Bronze went to  Gor Minasyan (actually also from ) with 459kg

 

in the men's +102kg OQR, nothing changed in the top places, but a few new names entered the top 10 in the lower positions:  (AIN) Eduard Ziaziulin is the best among the newcomers with 431kg with  Alì Rubaiawi (419kg) following

 

the 2 men losing their qualifying place are  Jo Seong Bin and  Kamil Kucera

no Man Asaad was in Group D and just participated in weight-in without lifting a thing

 

he is either injured or saving himself for the Asian Games, same as Djangabaev. 

 

 

I know Asian Games matters a lot for most of Asian countries (including us) but still it's not a good sign for a sport when people prefer an Asian Games title over a World title ! (and yes I know it's about prize moneys too)

It’s hard for me to follow and fully understand but does any of the  athletes have any chance for the Olympics?

I didn't see him in the wikipedia's list 

 

but maybe I just lost focus while reading, as usual 

 

in this case, it's  that loses a place among the top 10, I'm gonna fix it

[phelps 8,287]

now I've found also Man Asaad's name 

 

and fixed the previous post 

[phelps 8,287]

looking at the Olympic Weight Classes only,  won 6 Gold Medals (4 among the women, 2 among the men), meanwhile  (men) and  (women) won 1 Gold Medal each
