 secured +1 in women's competition. Before the last day  all failed to qualify.

 

Battle for remaining 5 quotas:

that all can interrupt the top6 (with most optimistic counting)

Silver for Stanulis  Sadly he won't even compete in Olympics. Even if Lithuania wins quota in Euros it will go to Didžbalis (famously disqualified for doping before London 2012) who is not even bothered to compete in E CH.

Because our federation decided to send A.Didžbalis and no one else can even try to replace him. Pretty much why our federation send only 5 guys to Euro Champs so there won't be possible for team quota and Didžbalis would qualify through rankings with "less drama".

Talking about corruption and prefential treatment, I thought that things don't happen in Europe... so unfair for every other Lithuanian weightlifter

I know, it's sad. This situation was happening for almost 20 years now in Lithuanian weightlifting, which pretty much stopped the progress of this sport in country. Plus those specially selected ones by federations always end up in doping scandals... Yet we still get to see some talents shining in some of the competitions while others chose powerlifting or kettlebell-lifting..
