Weightlifting 2016 Discussion Thread

I don't blame UAE for using that strategy. Any other nation could have sent athletes in those weight categories too. It's a product of the qualification system. At least they have a half decent athlete in the -58kg.

 

We saw something similar at the 2012 Olympics in the women's -63kg. There were so few athletes that a bunch of -58kg women went up a weightclass just so they can say they finished with a higher rank.

:lol:

 

They can probably add an 8th and 9th place in +75kg to that, so I think they're going to end up just short of a quota.

Looks like Turkmenistan can take the last quota from UAE, if everything goes in the way of entry weights in women's -75 and +75. Turkmenistan would end up on 82, UAE on 81. I really hope Turkmenistan takes it... :fingers:

 

Current situation

TKM 80 (22+20+19+19)

UAE 68 (22+16+15+15)

 

If everything goes like entry weights, TKM would get 21 in -75, UAE would get 22+21 in +75.

That's a shame, I'd love if UAE actually pulls it off, just to show the flaw in this system :p

They already did that in 2012. :p On the other hand, Turkmenistan is still an unqualified nation and this could be a historic first female quota in weightlifting for them.

I think we are now surely there in the mens .................:IND:clap:........................................................... 4/5/6 by the end of the qualifications as per my calculations

I just remembered this video reportage about their qualification in 2012... My favorite line is "In the UAE it's a girls' sport as the girls qualified, not the boys. Girls are smarter than boys. Weightlifting has nothing to do with strength..." :lol:
