I'll go and agree with phelps' theory... That he was caught once again, but it will never become official to the rest of the World...

Either that or they indeed don't want lifters that have been banned in the past 4 years, but I agree that probably the injury story is rubbish. 

 

By the way, these rumours are going around for two weeks, but unconfirmed of course...I waited 2 weeks with placing a big bet on Shi (odds of 4.5, which is way too high if Liao isn't there)...now it's official, and the bookmakers removed the odds literally within minutes :(

Leader :PRK Kim Jong-un will make sure to stop that :lol:

Probably, -56kg is one of those were I don't think China is the main favourite, just like Tian Tao for example :p

 

Obviously they should get some golds, but 10, absolutely no way unless a big miracle happens :d

Good news as Liao retired, now my bet on Shi Zhiyong @6.00 is safe :d . Anyway about China's 10 golds - it's impossible , but 8 is really realistic. 4 men Chen Lijun ,Shi Zhiyong, Lu Xiaojun and one of these two  Tian Tao or Long Qingquan , + all 4 women. Don't see any competition for Chinese females . The biggest ???? is men 94kg I hope that my frien Aurimas Didzbalis will get one of the medals :) , but it will be really hard to fight with beast like Moradi or Zielinski .

Men 105kg I think Nurudinov can win it even if Zaichikov or Bedzhanian will be involved. But I hope they will not be in olympics.

+105 kg I'm with Lasha Talakhadze , Iranian guy Salimi looked not in very good shape at Iran grand prix especially in Clean and jerk , maybe it's because of that injury he got before 2015 worlds. I am not even sure if he will be in Iran team cause other big guy from Iran looks in better shape these days. Albegov would be bigger competition for Lasha , but it's not finalised that Russia will be allowed to compete.

Women +75 is still ????? cause of Russia ban , if they will not be allowed to compete maybe China could change their team and send Meng Suping for a an easy Gold medal.

75kg This one is biggest ?????? Evstukhina, Un Ju Kim and Podobedova are banned , and will not be involved. China's Yue Kang could be easy winner here , but she's not on China team, maybe cause she bombed out in nationals. In last years worlds girl from PRK Rim Jong Sim finished 2nd don't know much about her but if she will get into North Korea team she could be winner here, others to mention Lydia Valentin , Iryna Dekha and maybe Nayo Ketchanke.

Women 58 kg : Without Boyanka Kostova , and Deng Mengrong ( or other chinese girls) there is only one favorite left here and it's Hsing-Chun Kuo from Taipei. Recently she C&jerked unofficial world record in training ( or equal to world record can't remember but it was on Instagram or somwhere else) . Only rival for her could be Jong Hwa Ri from North Korea. But it's really doubtfull . After Hwa's DSQ after IWF world champs in 2014 (there was only result dsq , no ban ) She did not competed in any big events and I really don't know if she will be in Rio.

So that's my toughts on Olympics this year .

Judging from both Srisurat's and Pimsiri's latest results from big competitions I don't see them winning against Kuo , Maybe Srisurat could beat her in Snatch, but Kuo is really strong in Clean and Jerk and should be winner overal. Maybe you can tell more about these girls recent form more?

    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
