Team USA - Weightlifting


Recommended Posts

With Weightlifting, we get the max team of 3 per gender.  There is the possibility that we get a bonus one if we have the Best Man or Best Woman Lifter, but that's just one given out per gender. (Announced 23 May 2028ish)

We're two for two in the PanAms, and I'm going to go ahead and call that we're going to win this next one.

 

Congrats to Gabe Chhum and Miranda Ulrey.  Gabe was in the -60 category and won Gold.  Unfortunately for Gabe's Olympic hopes, the lowest category in 2028 is -65, which is the same category that Hampton Morris is in.  Hampton (who is about to compete now) won bronze in 2024 Paris and 2025 WCh in :NOR.

 

Miranda apparently has dropped a few kgs, and is still lifting similarly.  Her total today was a new PanAm Record (and record in each individual category), and it would have won gold in Paris 2024.  Looking forward to seeing more from her in future comps!

 

Hampton coming up now!

And Caden Cahoy also walked away with Gold for the M -79.  He tried for the WR in the C&J, but didn't manage.  Still got the PanAm record, though.  We had a second competitor Eddie Ginnan in this weight class, and he finished 5th.

Fifth gold for :USA!  Olivia Reeves, gold medalist also in Paris and the past two WCh.   She's a beast!  Estelle Rohr also participated, finishing 8th in C&J, and not registering a total in Snatch.

USA cleaning up.

 

We didn't take gold in M -88, but that's because Yeison López :COL is an absolute beast...won silver to Karlos Nasar :BUL in Paris, and won gold here by 48 kg.  (Yes, 48 kg...more than 10% more weight than silver.) We did win Silver and Bronze, though.  Congrats Hutton Boles and Brandon Victorian!  The closest class in LA28 will be 85 (Lopez competed at -89 in Paris), so either these guys will have to cut, or bulk up to 95, the next class up.

 

And meanwhile for the ladies, Mattie Rogers took Gold in W -77kg.

 

Go Team :USA

    • After all, Trento is the capital of Alto Adige... For me personally Trento is nicer places than Bolzano, but I haven't been there for many years, so maybe I would have a different opinion now.

    • A comeback would absolutely be doable  - Joe Pavey, Mara Yamauci  & Georgia Hunter Bell all rejoined the sport very successfully after many years out with careers or family.
    • That's great, congratulations to both of you! I wish her a good recovery. 
    • This is not a full retirement, but kind of a break/sabbatical due to...reasons.    For those who have been following @brunamoura's journey towards and last February eventually, finally, at the Olympics, this might be an interesting update. The 2030 Olympics are still in her sight, but next year's world championships in February seem...unlikely.   She still needs to do at least two surgeries, one on her nasal cavities due to a chronic inflammation that has been bothering her for years, and one on her legs. In the Olympic season she struggled immensely with pain in her legs, which in the freestyle technique made her sometimes just not even able to move and therefore finish or even start the races. The Olympic 10k freestyle was hard and painful, but she managed to get through it. We knew she was dealing with compartment syndrome, which is quite serious and certainly needs to be dealt with surgically, but the recovery time for that meant that doing so during the season would likely jeopardize the Olympics - again.   The plan was to do the surgeries this year, but that's unlikely to happen now...    
    • My admittedly tiny sample at least made it feel like the safest and nicest place     Milan....I was very glad to be out of there, Bologna almost felt even worse, and I was also happy to leave Trento behind after barely a day there   Livigno didn't feel bad like that, the issue there is that Livigno people seem to believe the world outside of Livigno doesn't really exist.   Every time I have been in South Tyrol though, it always just felt...lovely, cozy, nice, friendly, and so on.   But obviously that is all a matter of opinion. Besides that I mostly went on statistics and Alto Adige generally scoring very high in things like quality of life and low crime rates  
    • Very interesting Article, not a lot of vast shocks in it, but great that she's found some happiness. She switched allegiance to Ireland from the US quietly a few years back, but I'd say the odds on her acting on it are pretty long - still, it maybe feels like a little statement of emancipation to herself, in which case, good on her.
    • That Kazda´s first goal was also something else
