Records in nationals or other internal competitions mean nothing for the real competition , most athletes lift around 10kg less, 

 

I would not take her as seriously............. but she has been a world championship medallist in the 2013 world championship in the 53kg ....................................plus she has lifted 210 in 53 category in 2015 world championships  where she finished 4th .............. I would put her as my gold medal favorite  without the chinese lifter ( also because Thailand dropped Khamsri to take her on ) ................ she had a weight of 50 kgs or so when she competed so she did not have to drop more than a couple of Kgs to move to 48 ..........................

Tuvalu didn't get it? So sad, looks like they will only have 2 sprinters in Rio...   Btw, looks like this is correct. apparently received this today.

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.

at 48 or 53 ................... If she is doing 200 in the 48 . she is almost sure for gold ...I do not see any one else doing better 

 

the weight shown was 51.92 which is impossible, I quite sure that it's fake, the way she lift is clear that she lose her weight, not gain 

to add on, she join the competition as extra athelete, not compete for the medals, that's why the weight can be manipulated

agree, even if we do not consider 200kg as serious, Sopita still be the biggest favorite

I think TAWA plan for year about Sopita weight class,

her weight is always 52+ until World Champ. 2015, it's down to 50.34, 2 kg drop but she book her new personal best at 210 kg

 

btw, this is just a prediction from the information I have, we'll find out in only 3 days, wait and see

In the prediction contest there are two colombian athletes in mens -62k category, but on the start list i can only see one athlete from Colombia, is it even allowed for one nation to enter two athletes in the same category?

Yes. A nation can enter two athletes in one category. In fact, in London, there were couple of cases of gold-silver going to the same nation (China in 77kg Men and Iran in +105kg Men)

What about Pulsabsakul in womens +75kg and Mosquera in mens -62kg, they both arent on the entry list?

I'm a bit surprised by some very high entries.

Agree , but my guess would be that everyone wanna avoid risk of beiing in group B so they put very high Totals.

      Speed Skating ISU World Cup 2024 - 2025

      2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway

      very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
