@heywoodu Kuworge just lifted 411kg (his new PB) in total to beat two Iranian weightlifters for the gold in world juniors :d

 

with that result he will take that Israeli weightlifter. he will be in 24th position and with a bit of luck he will qualify for the Olympics. I believe he has a good chance.

Does Litvanov the Israeli has a chance?

Wow :yikes: 

 

When will we know?

 

And now I hope there's not some internal limit which would restrict him..

Dutch NOC makes it difficult, as per usual. For 'layer 1' of the international qualifying pathway, there are no additional requirements. For layer 2, there is an additional requirement of having to lift at least equal the total weight of the 8th placed competitor at the 2019 world championships (424kg in this case).

 

The question is, what exactly is layer 1, what is layer 2, and in which layer would he qualify?

we will have the final list in 2 weeks apparently but we will probably have a better idea when IWF publishes the updated list (after removing ineligible weightlifters) on 3 or 4 June.

 

This is the ranking if we remove "obvious" ineligible weightlifters.

if all those weightlifters expected to not participate doesn't get selected, CZE and HUN will be in top 8 and Kuworge will take the European quota. but even if none of this happens. he still has a good chance to take the re-allocated African quota.

 

this will be stupid to deny him a chance. he is the World Junior Champion with a brilliant future.

 

:GEO

:ARM good chance not be selected

:BLR good chance not be selected

:IRI

:BRA

:SYR

:TKM

:ALG

-----------------------------------TOP8

:RUS Won't be selected 99%

:AUT 109kg weightlifter but has a chance to play dirty and qualify here

:CZE

:KOR won't be selected most probably

:JPN won't be selected most probably

:HUN

:USA

:NED

Anyone with an updated list of suspended countries in weightlifting for the Tokyo Olympics and NOCs with limited quota? Is the one in wikipedia correct?

this is the last updated list, Vietnam is likely to be added too. and Romania.

    • Besides, I think Eitrem will be better than Ghiotto. You can see it after 1500 meters. He is younger. The whole Norwegian team is also in great shape. You just have to look at the team Norway has, how many new and young skaters there are and in our group A there is one Trentini, who takes last place. In every winter sport we invest too little money to be counted.
    • Looking at last season's 1st World Cup, it's worse for now and it should be the other way around. Bosa out of shape, Trentini weak. Both will drop to a lower group. It's similar to skeleton, i.e. regression instead of progress. I hope this doesn't mean Ghiotto is also in weaker form, because it could end up with 0 podiums this weekend.
    • In general, our picture for a little over 1 year until the home games looks like this:     - the women's sector is still based on one Lollo, who is 3 years older than 2022, - the women's and men's sprint sector is based on one Bosa and possibly the young Pergher (0% possobility for medal in 2026), - Ghiotto has made a lot of progress and that is a big plus. He could result to give our even 3 medals, including 1/2 gold. Our team's performance also depends to a large extent on Ghiotto's form, - the rest of the men's team is basically unchanged. There is Giovannoni in the mass start, there is Malfatti in the longer distances, but they are not competitors on the podium of a major event.   I will repeat myself: if Ghiotto continues to make such progress, we will probably win 3 medals, 2 of which gold and it will be a success. If something doesn`t work out, an injury, illness, etc. (we know from Vitozzi that this can happen to anyone), then it could be very bad. By the way, this also applies to other sports: the above-mentioned Vitozzi in biathlon, Goggia in downhill, Brignone in giant slalom, etc.
    • With the World Cup season in most of the winter sports about to begin and qualification in some sports already underway, I think it's about time for this thread.    Template    ...

    • Today is a day without Italians in the leads positions. I`m worried that they are not trying to revive this our sprint. There is only one Bosa and he is old. Pergher is young but she is also only one. It is a pity. After the Olympics they will probably 100% give up on the entire sprint. Our medal bag in Cortina will depend 90% on Ghiotto, just like it did on Fabris in Turin 2006. If Ghiotto will be in goodshape, he can even win 2 individual golds + a team medal. If not, it will be a flop. Apart from him, only Lollobrigida can compete in the mass start and possibly Giovannini in the men's mass start.
    • Yup, actually they have just some juniors pairs in the dance event
