Or, you know, as 'exactly' as possible I think it's impossible, to have a small chance he has at least to overtake Nagy, and couldn't be enough, 390 points over him, I would say no chance for him.

And if so, what exactly does he need to do there? Or, you know, as 'exactly' as possible he can't make it to top 8. that's for sure. the best he can do is to surpass the Israeli athlete right above himself in the ranking (that's quite possible) and then he has to wait for other countries to make their choices. lots of countries above him have limited number of quotas and some other options in other weights. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And surpassing the Israeli athlete is what he can do by somehow, with some miracle, lift a total of roughly 441kg? I know exact weights are usually not really possible to say because of the system, but maybe sort of a range is possible to know when he has a chance If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I know exact weights are usually not really possible to say because of the system, but maybe sort of a range is possible to know when he has a chance no no, he needs much less ! IWF website (and its ranking section) is not working properly for me right now. I can't give you an accurate answer. but I think something around 410-415 is enough for that purpose. he needs some big big lifts if he wants to surpass Nagy (HUN) and Orcag (CZE) to increase his chance massively but that's beyond his capacities. he better only focus on the Israeli guy. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,348 Posted May 24, 2021 #317 Share Posted May 24, 2021 @heywoodu it's working now, he needs 405 or 406. that's still higher than his PB (398kg) but considering his age and the fact that he improved his PB big time in the last European Champs. I think that's 50/50 for him. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Knight 10 Posted May 28, 2021 #319 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Weightlifting would be our best shot at getting a medal at Tokyo. I know it is for the best to save weightlifting at Olympics and also for the sake of IOC's integrity but it is heartbreaking to see our athletes (still training and hoping to go to Tokyo soon) fail to qualify just because of some stupid young athletes. Currently, I doubt that our federation has the ability to test young athletes regularly, let alone has a doping scheme. MHSN and Vic Liu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
