thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted August 4, 2021 #202 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I was rooting for Asaad after Reis got banned, so I'm glad he got it. Now Syria has both an Olympic medal and a medal at the World Championships in this sport. Amazing. To be honest, I think Asaad would have earned a medal even if Reis had competed here. Asaad is a beast. Reis didn't have great results after 2018 anyway, and even though media in Brazil was hopeful for a medal for him, Asaad is just better and Reis wouldn't have been able to get one anyway. I'm sure that one journalist skmewhere was even preparing a headline with a pun on his name in case he won a medal (Reis means kings in Portuguese).

dcro 10,189 Posted August 4, 2021 #204 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Finally came around to watching one weightlifting competition. This one proved to be pretty straightforward. But a medal for Syria is nice. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(In any case the rule change is ridiculous and how much power is being concentrated in the Executive Board is really disturbing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
