There's a 15-year old Dutch guy and he's even in the top half of the entry weights 

 

Apparently he also broke a CJ European U15 record last December, we might actually have somewhat of a talent here...which would be awesome, because weightlifting was immensely popular on the biggest Dutch forum during the Olympics

I wonder who was responsible for that.

Not entirely me to be honest, the Olympic 'subforum' is always very busy on that forum, especially for sports that are both easy to follow (you make a lift or you don't) and are streamed live on the public broadcaster's website

Nothing is that simple. Have you forgot about that elbow rule?

Clarence Cummings Jr. - Men's -62kg - entry weight of 321kg

Yevhenii Nykonenko - Men's -85kg - entry weight of 300kg

 

Really?

just remind you that these entries means absolutely nothing, they will apply their real entries one day before the competition at the general meeting.

 

even though having a very high entry for Clarence Cummings is no surprise.
