YAY!!!! Maybe now something will be done with national coach in Lithuanian Weightlifting Federation who's son tested positive twice and who was also a cough for every single weightlifter that was sanctioned in Lithuania... It's the most corrupted federation in Lithuania's history.

Lidia VALENTIN for women – Lasha TALAKHADZE for men are the Best of 2017!

Among the women Spanish Lidia VALENTIN, among the men Georgian Lasha TALAKHADZEhave been voted as Lifters of the Year for 2017. The final result of the traditional online voting launched by WORLD WEIGHTLIFTING was clear-cut: VALENTIN won with a huge advantage, and TALAKHADZE, who was second for 2016, received significantly more votes than the 4 other nominees each on the magazine’s list. All athletes recommended for the prestigious title are world champions.

Since 1991 female Lifters of the Year have been awarded and VALENTIN is the first Spanish to receive the honour. In her case, over 16,400 ballots appreciated the fact that – in addition to her 3 Olympic medals of different colours and her three European champion titles – she also obtained the world championship gold medal at Anaheim – easily – in the 75kg category. She is followed by Taiwan’s world record breaker and World Champion, KUO Hsing-Chun. America’s +90kg World Champion Sarah ROBLES finished in third place.

Among the men, where the best of the year have been elected since 1982, nobody from Georgia has ever won before. This time, however, TALAKHADZE was the favourite contender beyond any doubt. Georgian giant, Olympic Champion in Rio 2016, continued to set world records in 2017 and earned the 3 World Championship gold medals at Anaheim with further two new marks unprecedented in history. He received more than 9,800 votes. The runner-up – remarkably close to his heels – is Egyptian Ihab MAHMOUD with nearly 8,500 votes. Over 3,100 voters made their choice in favour of Iran’s Sohrab MORADI, a world record setter World Champion himself.

WORLD WEIGHTLIFTING wishes to thank all voters! After the consolidation of the ballots received, here is the result:

WOMEN    
VALENTIN PEREZ Lidia ESP 16,406
KUO Hsing-Chun TPE 2,917

It's Google translation , this's the original news in German : 

Die Dopingsperre von Oleg Chen und Ruslan Albgebov wurde aufgehoben.

Beide Heber wurden aufgrund von mangelhaften Landesinternen Kontrollen gesperrt, die im Zuge des McLaren Reports dokumentiert wurden.

Nach einer juristischen Klage, hat der Weltverband die Sperre aufgehoben und beide Heber sind ab September 2018 wieder startberechtigt.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
