The Jury overturned their call well from what i hear from weightlifting experts , his 1st attempt was OK , jury didn't overturn this "wrong" decision. his 2nd attempt was a foul , refs somehow wrongly accepted it but jury overturned the decision. even his 2nd attempt could be a "good lift" but his 1st attempt was good lift for sure.

MHSN 3,221 Posted August 17, 2016 #375 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I never liked Salimi, and will never like him but seriously this guy had an ACL surgery few months ago, he tried his life to recover in time for Rio. and they screwed him up like this. well, this Olympic is getting disastrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinipereira 3,054 Posted August 17, 2016 #376 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Iranian fans at the venue were really upset, but I don't understand what happened. 5th place was a good result for Brazil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll just say, from the referee's perspective, that IMO there were grounds for a 'no-lift' decision in all three of Salimi's lifts. Tough call either way. And true, Salimi's 2nd was slightly better than the 1st. Having said that, I think that Seim's 2nd lift was good and should have passed, since the movement was in the shoulders exclusively. Let's hope the push for video review is finished before the next Olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,221 Posted August 18, 2016 #380 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Now this is official that Salimi will get the same prize money as gold medal winners ! as far as I remember, he is the 3rd athlete to get such prize money without actually winning the gold, Miresmaeili 2004 and Abdevali 2012.
