Judging from both Srisurat's and Pimsiri's latest results from big competitions I don't see them winning against Kuo , Maybe Srisurat could beat her in Snatch, but Kuo is really strong in Clean and Jerk and should be winner overal. Maybe you can tell more about these girls recent form more?

 

May 7 8

Sukanya 110+130

Pimsiri 102+137

When individual qualifications and rest of wild card will be published?

 

I think all quotas have been confirmed with national federations (except maybe Russia) but they are too lazy or something to publish them for everybody.

 

Anyway, using various sources we managed to find who got 6 out of 10 available wild cards. The last 4 probably went to countries like Equatorial Guinea, from where it is nearly impossible to find out any news.

i see on wikipedia Cyprus should get individual quota but their NOC did not confirm anything and they publish as soon as someone qualify :mumble:

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.

I actually did a little research, he achieved the mark  while competing for Greece, but in the last European Championships he switch his allegiance to Cyprus, so as the individual ranking quotas are nominal, he shall be part of Cypriot team.

Iran Squad in Rio

 

85: Kianoush Rostami

94: Sohrab Moradi and Ali Hashemi

105: Mohammad Reza Barari

+105: Behdad Salimi

 

A very big surprise today to drop Molaei and Keep Hashemi instead ! +105kg is the weakest weight and Molaei could easily challenge for bronze.

    • 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?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • 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?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • 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.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
