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

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.

    • Because of the low number of votes some categories may be cancelled (under the rule that at least two people should vote for a nominee). I may give a few more days for voting but I guess there's just no interest this year 
    • In Italy in recent years there is simply been a problem with training new talents and looking at Colturi, the problem probably isn`t a lack of talented youngsters but poor training. Colturi and Collomb were at similar level a few years ago but where are they now? And this is the same year of born - 2006. Since Goggia and Brignone young time we haven`t trained a single champion. It`s the same with men. Vinatzer is wasting away and regressing in development, the same with della Vite in the giant slalom. The problem is it the outdated system which proved effective at the beginning of the 21st century but not now This also applies to other winter disciplines with a few exceptions.
    • Peterman/Gallant will be Canada’s Olympic representatives after defeating Homan/Bottcher 10-5 in the Mixed Doubles Olympic Trials Final.   Undefeated all week long, just incredible 
    • Homan with a shot for 4 to make things interesting, but the red stone jams on the yellow stone in the back 8 and they only score the 2.   8-5 Peterman/Gallant with hammer coming home. Almost seems inevitable at this point. 
    • Homan/Bottcher convert on their power-play, with a wide open draw for two. With how this game has been going, and that whiff by Brett, slightly underwhelming of a score but at least it’s something?   Peterman/Gallant up 6-3 and have the hammer in the 6th end.
