Welcome to the forum @River Knight. Nice to see new comer from Asia, especially my nearest neighbor, I am from Guangxi by the way.

Hi @Vic Liu. I've been lurking around at this site for a while so I decided to create an account to prepare for the upcoming Olympics :p

Currently, I doubt that our federation has the ability to test young athletes regularly, let alone has a doping scheme.

Vietnam has almost 100 million people. In a huge country like this, it baffles me that the only sport to have decent chances at an Olympic medal doesn't receive enough funding to test athletes, apparently.

Even school weightlifting championships in India aren't this bad  , like who keeps training place in a parking lot that too cars are parking as if it's no one there

@rybak this is probably surprising for you but Bartlomiej ADAMUS in that world juniors list has a very good chance to qualify for the Olympics. he is currently 34th in the ranking but only 4 weightlifters are between him and the European Quota. and he will surpass all 4 of them if he lifts 371kg (that was his record at the European Championships) actually he only needs 365kg for that.

 

and maybe even 347kg (which is a very very low record) does the job for him if Russia and Albania elect to send different weightlifters (very likely)

Adamus finished with 355kg. he tried twice for 365kg to guarantee himself a place in Tokyo but failed.

 

he is currently 3rd in line for the European quota behind Russia and Albania. Russia most probably won't use this guy but not sure about Albania. they have 2 quotas (1 is already confirmed) they surely prefer Qerimaj at 81kg but if he doesn't make it they will use this 96kg quota.

What the!? This is horrible!!! It's Bidani right there, a medalist at the World Championships, training under such conditions! MAJOR respect for him!

I wonder how these championships usually are in terms of organisation (no doubt better than this), but somehow I wonder if people are really surprised by it. Disappointed, sure, but surprised...?

 

Respect for these athletes, good luck trying to perform in this..

IWF updates its website with African Champs results and added them to the  Olympic Ranking. only some weights at the World Juniors are left.

 

from what I see, the followings are the best ranked Africans

 

61kg: :MAD E. Andriantsitohaina

67kg: :MAD T. Andriatsitohaina

73kg: :TUN Ben Hnia (Top 8) and :MAR Moum

81kg: :TUN Bahloul

96kg: :GHA Amoah

109kg: :TUN Bacha

+109kg: :ALG Bidani (Top 8)

no African weightlifter is eligible to grab the +109kg African quota.

 

49kg: :MRI Ranaivosoa

55kg: :TUN Landoulsi (she is also Africa #1 at 59kg)

59kg: :TUN Rahmouni (:RSA Taljaard is next)

64kg: :TUN Rahmouni (:RSA Pretorious is next)

76kg: :CMR Eyenga

87kg: :CMR Meukeugni

+87kg: nobody is eligible

 

* Rahmouni is more likely to pick 64kg

Dumb question, but is it Andriantsitohaina or Andriatsitohaina? Or both? :d

They used to win before before they started being caught for doping regularly

    • Sooooo, after day 2 :     No change. To clarify, Thorup confirmed she was not going to the Games. But she still collected three quota for  that can be used by any other athlete. Still, Lindenskov has not achieved any minimum qualification time so she's not eligible.    Braun just had to finish the race. She could have started and bailed out like a couple of skaters did in the 500m. But she went all the way and got DQed  So only one Polish skater and Smedding is in (she would have received an additional quota anyways).   Horikawa was given the huge edge of starting in A division thanks to a couple of Dutch skips. Despite running 3s slower than Yang she still retrieved a comfortable amount of points to secure her spot. Yang benefited from the quartets but things could have gone to the wire if they ran in the same division.    Italy not starting. Failing to qualify while they only had to be top 12 (with 14 teams competing) is a huge blow.    Nope Nope Nope   It was tense. Before last pair Semirunniy Lorello and Snellink (in that order with the tie breaker rule) were tied with 110 points, ahead of Henriksen. Meaning that Semirunniy was in and Snellink in too but only in the SOQT ranking, thus depriving the Netherlands of their 9th man. But Eitrem, ranking 0.07 ahead of Semirunniy, and a few seconds later Dawson, 0.10 ahead of Lorello, reshuffled the rankings completely, saving both countryman Henriksen and Dutch matrix selectors.    So Semirunniy, as the world leader in the 10k (not the same event indeed) and 4th of one of the three WC qualifying races is not going to race in Milano. I guess the easy answer is to put that on him. But Sasaki, with 6'21, 13'30 and 6'21 is qualified, because he managed to be a tad faster in the first race of the season on the fastest track in the world. Semirunniy mismanaged his efforts in a flawed system that allows time quota in a World Cup circuit with huge track discrepancies, which works with unfair divisions rewarding way too much already established athletes. Like, look at those injured skaters not even going a hundred meters banking more points than 95% of B division, and yet still taking a spot next week. Erin Jackson could pull this till the end of the season and remain top 16.
