Weightlifting IWF World Championships 2023

[El Analyzer 191]

Quick observations (as a fan not as a specialist):

• with 7 golds presumably favorable to claim at least 4 golds at Olympics 
• Great performance from & ..specially in Olympic classes 
• third is the best performance since 1951 but both golds were in non-olympic classes 
• IWF facebook page broadcasting was great and I have enjoyed the competition … hey ..UWW can you hear me! 
• The current qualification system is silly for spectators, number of DNS players was massive which killed the entertainment of the world championship
•   is coming back to form and could be better when Rasoul Motamedi returns to his top form
• Lasha is still the big favourite to men heavyweight category and the threat from & is manageable till now 
• 5 olympic women classes are great, it would be hard decision for the unselected athletes, they all deserve the quota, I don’t see Li Wenwen out of the picture, one game out of few last yeat brilliant performance doesn’t mean she is out 
• The rule should be clear what is the status of the 5 Nations         (may increase) they have more 3 doping cases, that would be fair for them and for others too, are they competing at Olympics, reduced quotas? Or suspended.
