Weightlifting Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

we still don't have the start list for the event in Colombia, but I assume we won't see lots of Oceania athletes there, and since there will be no more event for Oceania athletes, we probably can guess who is going to qualify.

 

none of these guys is registered for the World Juniors. but still nothing is final, for example if :PNG Baru just participates at the Colombia event at 67kg he can qualify for the Olympics in that weight because of his 61kg points !

 

:AUS Wakeling is also leading the ranking in both 73 and 81 but he never really participated at 81kg. just registered. so I believe he will participate at 73kg.

 

if nobody from Oceania participates in Colombia event, these guys are going to qualify

61kg: :PNG Baru

67kg: :SAM Ioane

73kg: :AUS Wakeling

81kg: :NZL McTaggart

96kg: :SAM D. Opeloge

109kg: :AUS Lydement

+109kg: :NZL Liti

* weightlifters in bold are 100% safe to qualify (unless their NOC reject the quota)

 

on paper only 61kg and +109kg can qualify in top 8 (very unlikely though) in that case the next athlete from Oceania qualifies.

 

-----------------------------------

and this is the list of all eligible Oceania weightlifters in the men's ranking with a realistic chance to qualify

18. :PNG Baru - 3001

and for women

 

if Toua (49kg) finishes in top 8 which is possible. there is nobody else from Oceania eligible to qualify. there is a girl from Guam but with only 2 events so far she can't complete her 4 events. unless of those 55kg girls cut weight and just participate in Colombia event at 49kg.

 

if nobody from Oceania participates in Colombia event, these guys are going to qualify

 

Yamasaki is leading in two weights but her recent results are at 55kg.

 

49kg: :PNGToua

55kg: :AUSYamasaki

59kg: :SOL Wini

64kg: :AUS Elliott

--------------

 

49kg:

22. :PNG Toua - 2603

 

55kg:

44. :AUS Yamasaki - 2015

53. :SOL Lifu - 1522

Thanks for the news @MHSN, I hope that Adamus will make it. What about Michalski after those changes in qualification system, is he still safe to be qualified?

Yes I think he is, he is currently 9th. in fact 8th because two Russians are above him. (and we know at least China will be removed from this weight, probably more)

 

on paper it's still possible if bunch of guys lift extraordinary weights in Colombia and surpass him but in reality that's almost impossible. I can say he is 100% safe.

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Mostly he won't go to tokyo with this change. His best lift this year was 410kg and he wanted to do 425kg at Tokyo

startlist for the Colombia event

https://www.iwf.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2021/05/START_BOOK_VERIFICACIÓN_FINAL.pdf

 

I have to say this list is NOT final, for example Iran has only one weightlifter traveling to Colombia while 4 are listed here.

 

there is NOBODY from Oceania in the list. so those guys I listed before are qualified for Tokyo if they don't reject the quota

:PNG Baru (Oceania)

 

67kg:

:UZB Ergashev

:ITA Zanni

:FRA Matam

:MEX Munoz (Pan-America)

:SAM Ioane (Oceania)

 

73kg:

:USA Cummings

:VEN Mayora

:ALB Calja

:TUN Ben Hnia

:AUS Wakeling (Oceania)

 

81kg:

:ITA Pizzolato

:DOM Bonnat

:TKM Rejepov

:USA Maurus

:LAT Suharevs

:GER Muller

:ESP Mata (Europe)

:NZL McTaggart (Oceania)

 

96kg:

+109kg:

:GEO Talakhadze

:IRI Davoudi

:BRA Reis

:SYR Assad

:TKM Toychyyev

:ALG Bidani

:USA Wilkes (Pan America)

:NZL Liti (Oceania)

 

-------------------

 

:CHN has to pick 4 from 61, 67, 73, 81, 96 and 109 (no chance for 109)

:IRI has to pick 2 from 96, 109 and +109 (sure thing). they want 96 but not this guy currently in top 8.

:BUL has to pick 2 from 61, 73, 109 (and maybe 81)

:KOR may qualify in 6 weights (all except 81) 61, 73 and 96 are more likely to qualify

:JPN still alive in all 7 weights! 61, 67 and 73 are almost guaranteed. 96 is more likely to get the last one

:ARM has to pick 1 from 109 and +109. they have guys high in ranking in other weights too but no chance for them

:BLR has to pick 1 from 61, 96, 109 and +109. (probably no chance for 61)

:RUS has to pick 1 from 73, 96, 109 and +109. most likely 109

:UZB has to pick 2 and I assumed that will be 67 and 109 since both of them are medal contender

Colombia event didn't make a change in the ranking for 61kg. we had two weightlifters here trying to improve their rankings (from CUB and ESP) but they both failed.

 

from what I saw the African Championships won't make a difference and the only weightlifter in the World Juniors who can make a change is Ruiu (ITA).

 

still it's impossible to make a list of qualified weightlifters, so many variables. but these guys are 100% safe

 

:INA Irawan (Top 8)

:GEO Mishvelidze (Top 8)

:PNG Baru (Oceania)

:DOM Garcia (Pan America)

:MAD Andriantsitohaina (Africa)

 

I believe these guys will be selected as well

:CHN Li

:JPN Itokazu

 

the remaining 6 quotas will be between these countries

:VIE:COL:PRK:BLR:KOR:BUL:GER:TUR:KAZ:TPE:KSA:ITA

 

@Federer91 do you have any idea about two Bulgarian weightlifters in Tokyo ? I see 3 or maybe 4 guys eligible to qualify. Grozdev (61), Andreev (67), Hristov (109) and maybe Beytula (73) ?

Dude, the selection is made exclusively from each NOC (using that criteria of max 4 per NOC and regarding doping violation) or there is another criteria?

    • Frölunda Overcome Luleå in OT to Claim Fifth CHL Title   Game Recap   For only the second time in Champions Hockey League history, the Final went to overtime, wher e Frölunda Gothemburg were crowned 2025/26 European Club Champions as they took down Luleå Hockey 3-2 to lift the the European Trophy once again.    Jere Innala played hero for the hosts who secured their fifth CHL title in front of a sellout crowd in the Scandinavium.   Neither club conceded much ice to the opposition in a scoreless first period that showcased a solid demonstration in defence from both sides.   Though Frölunda ended the stanza with shots in their favour 8 to 3, it was an opportunity for Luleå, who almost broke the deadlock near the midway mark when a deflection in front nearly got past Tobias Normann, who made good on the save.    Then, early in the second, it was the visitors with another excellent attempt when a cross-ice feed almost found the back of the net on a tip-in chance that ricocheted off the far post as Normann slid across to manoeuver it back into play.    Later on, Luleå became the recipients of the first powerplay of the night, but it was the hosts taking advantage when the hero for Frölunda from the 2017 CHL Final put his team in front on a brilliant individual effort.   Nicklas Lasu, who went pointless in the Playoffs, intercepted a pass near the blueline before dashing towards the offensive zone, where he skated in all alone and wristed the puck past the blocker of Matteus Ward to open the scoring.   Puck dropped in the third and immediately Luleå set about dictating the pace of play and it paid off when Eeto Koivistoinen tipped in a shot from the point to even things at 1-1.   The side's leading scorer, Mathias Bromè, whipped the puck towards the net as Koivistoinen, who was parked just above the crease, got his stick on it to deflect it into the cage.   Minutes later, however, Frölunda found their second with a deflection of their own on the powerplay.    Play developed when Henkrik Tömmernes played catch with Innala along the near wall before fluttering the puck through traffic as Jacob Peterson managed to redirect it past Ward to regain the home side's one-goal lead.    The visitors continued to play desperate hockey in the final minutes of regulation and were rewarded when, with just 16 seconds to go in regulation, it was Luleå levelling the score thanks to Otto Leskinen's first-ever CHL goal.    Leskinen glided down the near side where the puck eventually made it to his stick, as he corralled it and then fired it far side past Normann.   In the extra session, it was some undisciplined play which resulted in a powerplay opportunity for Frölunda, who made the most of it when Innala converted on a one-timer from inside the near circle that beat Ward clean glove side to lift his team over Luleå and become the 2025/26 CHL Champions.
