Weightlifting IWF World Championships 2024

With the IWF cracking down on doping, North Korea was already the second best nation before Covid. The three-year isolation does make things suspicious.

 

Considering the IWF is now testing them every time they compete (given their results), they are probably clean now. The IWF is on such a short leash that a scandal like this may kill the federation so I imagine they are keeping a watchful eye on them.

Karlos just makes things look so easy  25 kg from second place and 2 new world records. If he had 2-3 more minutes of rest he could have gotten 225 kg as well.

 Reeves won the women's 71kg.

[El Analyzer 192]

Two gold slipped from hands (logic this time) 

Nasar  in men 89 kg won the gold with brilliant performance

Reeves  in women 71 kg with great boosting performance in C&J

 

[phelps 7,703]

and  adds another Gold to their collection  

[MHSN 3,630]

Kazakhstan won two golds yesterday and today

 

but there is something interesting about both of these guys. Antropov and Adiletuly 

they both failed a doping test in 2023, ITA gave them a 1.5 years suspension which expired right few days before this tournament. 

 

Kazakhstan never stopped doing their "thing"  whenever Guy A failed the test, the brought up Guy B doing the same until he fails too. then move to guy C. now with ITA's help they are even recycling their already exposed cheaters.

 

yet they never received a real and serious ban for this. well I guess they know where and how to expend their money. paying the right guy.

With his result, Karlos would have won the next 2 weights as well.  Let's see if tomorrow they can beat his total.
