I tried a bit to find something about Eko Yuli Irawan, what I found is that he is not injured or anything else. he apparently has some problems with their weightlifting federation and is training alone, he didn't participate here because he thinks he is already qualified for Tokyo 2020 ! he needs to participate here or in Colombia to qualify , he doesn't need to lift anything .

 

if he didn't register already for that event in Colombia I believe he lost his chance to qualify. and that will be extremely dumb of him to not qualify this way ! the big question is will he go to Colombia or not.

 

@Griff88 do you know anything more about this ?

Seems Deng Wei did what you said. She showed up training and weight in but no lift. So what she did is just to keep qualification, am I right? @MHSN

Was she really injured?

Or was it a strategy

yes that was enough to complete what she had to do to qualify for the Olympics. the rest is up to the Chinese coaches

She's really injured for a long time and we don't know how's her recovery situation. She's a veteran lifter and had no secretes for rivals. Hope she good luck in coming 3 months.

Actually Romania is in better position than any other lifter but the suspension I'm not sure. 

 

Colombia might still prove tainted beef thing. Again not very sure.

As of now the problem is settled and he is allowed to train with his personal coach (with his own funds). Yes the problem is his participation, I also think that he needs to at least participate here to seal his place in the Olympics - but it was too late to register at the AWC due to the feud. The bad thing is that the media and the Indonesia OC thought he was already qualified.....

 

I am planning to contact the national team coach, hopefully he will answer...

we usually have this problem with the media and the officials here, they usually don't know the rules. I had to warn them so many times before . but I thought that's only an Iranian thing it turned out to be a worldwide problem.

 

he is probably the only who can challenge China and at worst he can win a silver , this is really stupid to throw away a medal like that. but I'm afraid it's already too late to register for the event in Colombia (unless they already registered)
