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?

 

May 7 8

Sukanya 110+130

Pimsiri 102+137

I think all quotas have been confirmed with national federations (except maybe Russia) but they are too lazy or something to publish them for everybody.

 

Anyway, using various sources we managed to find who got 6 out of 10 available wild cards. The last 4 probably went to countries like Equatorial Guinea, from where it is nearly impossible to find out any news.

I think that's a mistake on wikipedia, as that weightlifter is listed as Greek on IWF rankings. I guess we'll just have to wait and see when IWF finally decides to publish something.

I actually did a little research, he achieved the mark  while competing for Greece, but in the last European Championships he switch his allegiance to Cyprus, so as the individual ranking quotas are nominal, he shall be part of Cypriot team.

Iran Squad in Rio

 

85: Kianoush Rostami

94: Sohrab Moradi and Ali Hashemi

105: Mohammad Reza Barari

+105: Behdad Salimi

 

A very big surprise today to drop Molaei and Keep Hashemi instead ! +105kg is the weakest weight and Molaei could easily challenge for bronze.

Wait, why is Bahador Moulaei on the entry list even though according to @MHSN and his countrymen he wasn't selected for the Iranian team? (see the Iran Thread)
