Weightlifting at the Summer Olympic Games 2020


Recommended Posts

Today is the day, history for the Netherlands! Enzo Kuworge will be the first Dutch weightlifter at the Olympics since Piet van der Kruk in 1968! :cheer: 

 

Van der Kruk was the Dutch Eurosport commentator from 1992 until 2016, but sadly passed away in June last year. I find it heartbreaking that he, a true lover of the sport, didn't make it long enough - by a year and a bit - to finally see someone follow in his footsteps :( 

 

Meanwhile the B-group snatch finished, 180kg as best lift(s), which is the PB of Kuworge from earlier this year. Who knows what's possible in an A-group with only seven athletes, only three of which are really a whole class above the rest. I'm hoping for 6th for Kuworge.

Bidani officially out.. what a disaster for :ALG , they very likely now will finish the games without any medal...unless Triki will provide some miracle in M Triple Jump, but highly unlikely I am afraid :(

Yeah, there goes their last semi-realistic chance :( 

 

On the other hand, it does increase the chance for a Syrian medal, which should be not much of a problem now without any major issues for Asaad. Would be only their 4th ever medal and their first since 2004.

I think Nagy wasn't prepared for the quota reallocation and already kinda retired when he got the news, that's why he was even weaker than at the ECh. Still, 6 successful attempts, a nice way to end a career.

In extremely unsurprising news :NZL Laurel Hubbard has announced her retirement.

I imagine the stress, the daily humiliation, not being considered what she was. :( Good life Laurel, hoping it will give you a lot of satisfaction.

Her body has also clearly been breaking down for a few years, this isn't the first time she unexpectedly bombs out. 43 is extremely old for a weightlifter, after all.

Well unfortunately for her even at home she's been getting bombarded with hate and humiliation.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
