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.

There are 3 Ukrainians qualify , right @MHSN?

Sort answer is no. Murgudunov in the 96kg is about 38th on the list, and your best shot.

I think as it stands, GBR have got three in by 'right' - i.e. when you apply the 1 per NOC rule only, Smith, Davies and Campbell are all either top 8, or top other European, before any of the big hitters have to give up excess spots, or before any complete bands are applied.

 

Godley/Muscatt, at 17th in 76 is absolutely on the bubble, depending on bans and restricted nations passing in this weight for better chances elsewhere (UKR, BLR, UZB), but she still has an outside shot - her category, however has been swarmed in the last two weeks by europeans nudging very slightly above her.

 

In the super heavyweights, meanwhile, Kashirina's suspension probably seals a spot for Hubbard, probably creating THE story of the Games in weightlifting. i Can't help but wonder if the IOC/IWF wouldn't just rather have the doping Russian to deal with...

In terms of general publicity amongst people who are not die hard sports fans, Hubbard is absolutely going to be the main story of the entire Olympics. Most people don't really care about the Olympics at all, but many will absolutely have an opinion there

Makes sense Dekha is almost surely winning silver. Solis is not in good form.

Medal for Dekha would be very good for us
