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)

Today and the whole Russian team in weightlifting is officially out

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.

      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?

      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?

      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.
