I guess it's a mistake from IWF, because this sure doesn't look like someone ready to lift in a few weeks :(

 

 

they needed all this time to publish start list and yet did not manage to do it correct....don't know who is worse between FINA and IWF :facepalm:

 

and poor guy :(

I think IWF did nothing wrong here (only this time !) the Iranian federation probably registered Molaei as the 5th weightlifter but for public, they had a meeting yesterday and their technical committee voted for 3 weightlifters to pick 2 of them . surprisingly they dropped Molaei and they prbably wanted to make a change to their original list.

 

this sad accident happened last night, after dropping him from the Olympic squad. he was driving the car with his whole family in it , that wasn't a good idea for someone in his situation. only his grandfather died in this accident, the rest including himself survived. terrible terrible news, he is such a good boy comparing to our other weightlifters.

hard to answer since the list is not even final, we stilll don't know if Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan can compete or not

 

56kg:

Long (CHN) and Om (PRK) for the gold and silver, then bronze probably for Thach (VIE) or Colonia or Chontey

 

62kg:

Gold for China, both Colombian weightlifters and Irawan (INA) and probably Kharki (KAZ) will try for other medals

 

69kg:

will be a close competition between Shi (CHN), Ismaylov (TUR), Chen (RUS) and Kim (PRK)

 

77kg:

Gold will be between Lu and Rahimov. . I think Ihab (EGY) and the Armenian guy will try for bronze, or even a better medal if one of those 2 fail

 

85kg:

Rostami (IRN) and Tian (CHN) will battle for the gold, if RUS/KAZ can compete. then Okulov and Ulanov are also there with those 2

 

94kg:

Moradi is the clear foavrite here, with Stralotsov behind him (if Belarus competes) Zielinkski, Maligov and Didzbalis are after them.

 

105kg:

Zaichikov, Nurudinov and Bedzhanyna will fight for 3 medals, if RUS and KAZ are banned, then others can compete for other medals, Yang of CHN is behind them with Armenian, Barari and Plesnieks.

 

+105kg:

Talakhadze is the favorite for the gold, if Albegov competes he can challenge the Georgian, otherwise only Salimi can maybe challenge him. we still don't know about Salimi's shape as they put everybody in dark but at very least he will win the bronze here.

    • claim their 2nd South & Central American title after beating  in the last game 26-25.
    • Group-1     6 PTS   4 PTS   4 PTS   2 PTS   2 PTS   0 PTS   2 Games to go for each team
    • Yuna Aoki was fantastic and defeats both Chiba and Nakai at 4 Continents. 
    • Apparently now Uhlaender is appealing to the IOC to add another spot and give it to her    Good grief, it's a US selection issue ultimately, they qualified two, how they award them is up to them... but she doesn't like their answer, and knows she has no legal standing to go thru those channels or CAS, so goes right to the IOC looking for special treatment. 
    • ICE Police killed him , he was a nurse , 37 yo ... fking USA of trump     
    • @hckošice Do you agree with me to some extent, or am I hopelessly dreaming? 
    • Interesting forecasts, I like 'em! I think the US wins the most medals, but Norway tops the standings (most golds)... have Germany neck-and-neck with Norway for medals, but fewer gold.    Then have Canada and Italy fighting it out for 4th in 5th   Then have Sweden, Austrian, Japan, Netherlands and France rounding out the top ten, with them all within a medal or two of each other. Of course reality will differ significantly 
    • A huge day for the very young Italian Bertini: despite a very tough draw, he beats Szilagy in the round of 16 and Gu in the quarterfinals! First career podium for him! 
    • Time for more personal and detailed predictions:    will have it hard this time.   I'm trying to stay realistic about our chances. We're not going there as favorites in most events, and deep down I know it would be a big surprise if we suddenly overperformed or even dominated. Still, sports have a beautiful way of ignoring expectations.   We're never predicted to do amazingly well at either edition of the Olympics, so I’m desperately hoping for moments that will stay with everyone in the country for years, whether it's a final that keeps people glued to their screens or a performance that will make us proud. Just one medal could mean so much. It would bring real emotions and something to cheer for to a country that isn’t going through its best period right now. And on the rare occasion of a hockey miracle, celebrations in the streets wouldn't be an oddity.   It all comes down to four sports, the rest are out of reach:   Alpine Skiing is a big mystery, and it will all come down to Petra, whether she'll compete and eventually shock everyone with a heroic result. That's the best-case scenario. Biathlon can be the dark horse, you never know how things turn around. The women's relay is probably our biggest chance, but all four of them need to deliver great performances. As for Ice Hockey, our national sport, I'll always believe in another fairytale. I'll always believe we'll pull off a miracle. Since I wasn't alive yet when we won gold at the World Championships, I can only resort to watching old videos and imagine how amazing it must have been to watch as your country is the champion of the world in something. Best on the planet. Even the silver years later was amazing, but I was too young to actually remember it, so it's time for another hockey euphoria in the country. Ski Mountaineering is a bit overlooked in the media right now, but I believe we have a huge chance of winning a medal in one of the events. Our athletes aren't minnows.   We're a small country, still relatively young. There's not much we're known for in the world, but sports are a perfect way to build a national identity, to stop people from thinking you're still part of a state that ceased to exist decades ago. Doing well in sports is one of the few things these lesser-known countries can show off, not just the ones in Europe.   I'm desperately hoping for a medal, and we all want those two weeks of the Olympics to be amazing and full of unforgettable moments.
