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.

Now that the entry lists are out, who are the favourites for the medals?

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.

    • I hope she can do well, but I think she's not going to win any gold, as she's never been comfortable both with the shooting range and the altitude in Anterselva   I fear biathlon is going to be one of the biggest flops for us next year (the other disaster will come from the sliding sports, I'm pretty sure...rather, hopeless)   I think our medal table will heavily depend on the speedskating sports, on the big air events and on alpine snowboard, any other discipline's contribution is going to be marginal
    • Great to see luge being back underway, but annoying that the graphics aren't really working properly yet     They're showing the time gaps at all the splits, as per usual, but then at the finish there is only the actual time, and no time gaps, resulting in all the time having to mentally calculate the difference to see if someone gained or lost time in the last part.
    • Knockout Stage   Quarterfinals, 1st Leg (Part I) Tuesday 03.12.2024 - Schedule*   18:00 Sparta Prague (CZE) - Växjö Lakers (SWE) 18:00 Red Bull Salzburg (AUT) - Färjestad Karlstad (SWE) 19:45 Genève-Servette (SUI) - Pinguins Bremerhaven (GER)   *All times CET     Watch live   Check here for details of live TV broadcasts: https://www.championshockeyleague.com/en/fans/where-to-watch   All games are also live on the https://everyplay.live/ website (CHL Pass costs 9.99€/month), subject to geo-blocking restrictions in certain countries due to TV rights.
    • Yeah, that is quite a surprise overall. Our women's handball has regressed since the 2010s. Or maybe Spanish women's handball isn't as good as I thought.
    • / Ilke Wyludda (discus) passed away at the age of 55.
    • Poland defeat Spain 26 - 23 and did qualified to next round 
    • Watched the mass start on Sunday & it just didn't work.  Runners starting from the fourth or fifth row back (ie everyone in places 20-70) were losing time through no fault of their own - just not enough room on the piste for 70+ starters.  So OK for an experiment, but not for real meaningful competition.
    • Tournament to crown the inaugural Women's United States Champion:   SmackDown - November 15th Bayley def. B-Fab and Candice LeRae   SmackDown - November 22nd Chelsea Green def. Blair Davenport and Bianca Belair   SmackDown - November 29th Michin def. Piper Niven and Lash Legend   Still to come: SmackDown - December 6th Naomi vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Elektra Lopez   SmackDown - December 13th Semi-Finals: Bayley vs. Chelsea Green   Michin vs. TBA   The Final Match of the tournament will take place on "Saturday Night's Main Event" PLE (Premium Live Event) on December 14th.
    • Yeah that mirror thing was so weird. You literally need a maximum of two safety car laps (possibly just 1) to take away that 1 piece of stuff....but wait until someone unavoidably shatters it into 1000 little pieces     Intentionally or not, there is no way it was NOT going to happen at some point...
