Just to clarify even if Thailand lifters are allowed to compete, they have already missed the qualification second period and are hence ineligible to qualify for Olympics. 

If I remember well, Thailand announced some time ago that they won't be sending lifters to Tokyo anyway

You probably have no idea how disgusting you sound. It doesn't change the fact that, indeed, you are hateful and this comment is outrageous.

And you deserve to be banned. If you think it's okay to call a woman "he", you're absolutely no different from those nazi and fascist scum who can't respect those who are different from you. Do you

It's two months and half to Olympics, I believe that IWF will make at least two more changes before deadline, or maybe even after...

Yeah they also said they are not going to participate in competition till Tokyo. But now they are asking for a concession for their youngsters.

I don't really know why are they trying to keep weightlifting into the Olympic program at any cost...

 

it's time to get rid of those cheaters...and keep them away until there's even only 1 convicted doper in any single national federation's board (and of course in the IWF's board, too)...:evil:

They seem to try more than many other sports to fight against doping, yet one doesn't hear calls for those other sports to be kicked out..

Yes we hear a lot of doping in Athletics.

Yeah, one of the main reasons why weightlifting is still on the program is the great lengths they are going to fight doping

Plus, boxing so far down a hole right now. If it doesn’t lose core sport status after 2020, I’m going to lose it.

with IWF uploading all results from the 2nd window, they removed all those weightlifters without a result in 2nd window from their ranking list. making it shorter and a bit more understandable !

https://www.iwf.net/qualif/menu/

 

this is the first time they are trying a new system, while the whole system is "bad" in my opinion (mostly for forcing athletes to participate in too many events) but I see a loophole here . for being eligible in each weight you need "2 results" in that specific weight.  again you need 6 results in total but 4 of them will be counted. which means you can have "Zero" score twice without losing anything.

 

now take a look at 109 and +109 ranking, Arkadiusz Michalski (who is a 109kg) is now 8th at 109kg but 6th at +109kg !!! why ? because the level of +109kg is lower in general this year , and why he is even listed in the Super heavy weight? because once he registered for that in an event and didn't lift a thing. if he does that again for a second time, he will be eligible to qualify in this weight, and you can see he has a better chance to qualify at +109kg !!!

 

that was just an example, Michalski most probably will qualify at his own weight of 109kg. but let's say he finishes 10th at the end and fails but still remains in top 8 at +109kg !! of course he has no chance for medal there but still participating at the Olympics is better than "not participating at all" ! if he takes that chance that will be unfair for the next +109kg guy in the ranking. this is a possible scenario. I see some other athletes in the same situation in other weights. they can qualify for the Olympics without doing anything in that specific event.

:EGY Suspended for Tokyo 2020

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) confirmed Wednesday the suspension for two years of the Egyptian Weightlifting Federation because of several cases of doping.

      What are the odds WTA/ITF has Kostyuk vs Potapova AO R1 just to see if the hand shake happens?

      Malinin  opted for the 4-Axel in his Short Program, but faltered, landing him in 3rd thus far (and only 0.05 away from 4th!).  Surely he has the tools to rise back up in the Free Program.  (Also, perhaps this will serve to show him that he is in fact beatable.)

      I think they incorrectly translated Ukrainian word "nahorody" - it is not a full synonym of "medal". Its cocrrect translation is "award". Meanwhile russian tennis playes switched for Potapova ->  Rakhimova ->

      Ukrainian diver Lyskun switches allegiance to Russia, loses all medals | Olympics News | Al Jazeera   'loses all medals'   I would assume Al Jazeera could have been a bit clearer and mention this would presumably only be national medals. I mean, it's not like the Ukrainian federation, or any single federation for that matter, has the power to strip her of her world and European championships medals I hope (not for her sake, but because that would be a super weird precedent)

      Confirmation about the broadcasting rights.   If I'm reading it right, for most of Europe it will now be exclusive to Discovery/Eurosport or whatever brand they use.     For outside Europe, it's on YouTube. For Planet VPN....well, let us know if you find out.   fil-taker-list-25-26-winterberg-1.pdf   Also, should have mentioned above that the Nations Cup races today are just over one leg, whereas there are two runs in each of the World Cup races.

      Surely. Her first coach now works in russia (and grandma lives in russia according to Sereda). They were in contact and despite of full funding from  the girl decided to become the star of russian propaganda.  As I saw in X: "It took the Russians four years of war to find a relatively well-known sports personality to carry out such a propaganda operation."
