Weightlifting qualification for Lima 2019 Pan American Games

 

Canada :wall: would have qualified a few more athletes had it decided to send more athletes to the qualifiers. 

 

 

I was indeed surprised that Canadian federation didn't send their best athletes to this championships... guess after Toronto 2015, they just started treating Pan Ams below the Commonwealth Games :(

The Canadian Championships were being held at the exact same time... which are used to select the team for the Worlds. However, some of Canada's top athletes competed in DR. 

Looking at the results from 2015, its reasonable to expect three medals for Canada in Lima, even with the reduced team (13 in 2015 vs 4 in 2019). Darsigny, Santavy and Charron all would have won medals in Toronto 2015 with their pb's and by quite a distance at that, so something similar could happen in Lima.

It also comes down to funding. For the CWG's all or most of the weightlifters were ranked in the top 5 (ie fully funded travel). For Pan Ams only the top 2 in each gender (and they must also have 95% of the world champions total) to be funded.

I didn't knew about the Nationals and funding factors... still, hard to miss other opportunities to in a multi-sport event :( but again, every federation and NOC have their priorities.

Egypt’s weightlifting medal contenders could miss Tokyo 2020 because of teenage doping cases

I'm having a hard time finding out what exactly is the news here...these cases were known, right? And if so, it's not new that Egypt is in danger in terms of 2020?

    • 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 The problem is it the outdated system which proved effective at the beginning of the 21st century but not now This also applies to other winter disciplines with a few exceptions.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.
