First time that 404 is not error

[Bulgaria87 80]

Karlos Nasar is another level

Genuine question, not meant to be rude  How does this compare to WR's set in weight classes 2-3kg higher/lower in the previous decades?

 

Like, I see in Rio the gold in 94kg went to someone who 'only' got 403kg total, but in the 85kg it went to a 396 total which seems similar in terms of quality to 404 with a 4kg heavier bodyweight

World record for Nasar in the current category  (before they slightly change the weight classes again to wipe all WR's clean because of you know )

 

Quite clear champion

Yeah, they would probably do that in the future, because IWF does that a lot...

 

An outstanding performance in this category, that hasn't happened since the 90s  

 

Not close to the lineal WR from the 80s which is 422.5, but that isn't happening most likely never again.

 

But it's so refreshing to have at least once a pre-Olympics favorite, that comes in and totally dominates like it is expected from him.  This never happens to us in the 21st century .

Up to 89-90-91 kg. They have switched so much the categories in weightlifting, that you can't be sure, which is historically Middleweight, which is Light Heavyweight etc.

 

 

WR before 1992 in 90 kg - 422.5 from  Viktor Solodov 

WR from 1992-1997 in 91 kg - 412.5 from  Aleksey Petrov

 

Karlos being at 89 has 2 kilo disadvantage, but i think he has a few more in him. If he was 91 i'd say he could challenge for 410. But let's see, because he is only 20 years old and has time to "grow up" even more.

5 out of 7 medalists of Bulgaria not born there (I know Nasar is a bit different case).

* 4 out of 7. Nasar's father is Lebanese, but that is the only foreign thing in him.  From a young baby he has lived in Bulgaria, practically his whole life. If his name was Ivan no one would ever think of anything about his origin.
