Weightlifting Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games

[MHSN 3,771]

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

 

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  

 

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.

 

good chance not be selected

good chance not be selected

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

Won't be selected 99%

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

won't be selected most probably

won't be selected most probably

Anyone?

@MHSN How many Brazilians will qualify? 3?

[Tigercub 72]

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?

I believe it will be between 2 and 4. +109 is guaranteed. very good chance for women's 49kg and 87kg. also slim chance for men's 96kg.
