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

    • 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.
