Saeid Mohammadpour finally received his gold medal from 2012 London Olympics officially today in Ashgabat after 6 years ! he originally finished 5th but top 4 all tested positive for doping :d I assume this is kind of a record to be upgraded from 5th place to gold medal.

 

this is a picture of him on the "podium"

No other results are important. Only results from the legendary WCH in Ashgabat count.

Wait, he was in the Olympics as a 19-year old and since then had no international competition ever again? :yikes:

well he was part of the gangs boycotted the team in 2013 and he was always injured since then.

 

this is how he got injured during the trial competition in Iran, he was preparing for 2015 Wch if I'm not wrong

it seems Mohammadpour wasn't the only weightlifter receiving his medal in Ashgabat, Gulnoi (THA, 2012) and Ulanov (KAZ, 2016) also received their medals.

interesting that they only awarded the gold medal in that weight where all 3 medalists are disqualified now. no silver and bronze ? :mumble:

:d in Top 7 yes, but the South Korean 8th placer (upgraded to 2nd) also has a clean record. maybe he wasn't just there. it's not necessary to attend a ceremony to receive your medal. they can just send it to your home.

 

and as I asked before, no idea if Zielinksi really receives anything. :mumble:

 

funny that Ilya Ilyin himself was there in Ashgabat when they were awarding "his medal" to someone else :d

European youth champion, :BUL Dayana Dimitrova, receives a life ban from competing in international weightlifting after her second doping offense since April 2017. 

The Bulgarian weightlifting federation said that the 18-year-old Bulgarian had used a banned diuretic while training privately. Her coach said she had used the drug to lose weight before the competition in Poland.

Well that was a long international weightlifting career for Dimitrova. :p

      We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid

      For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

      As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around.
