Weightlifting Qualification to Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympic Games


Recommended Posts

A pleasant surprise. Elreen Ando qualifies in the women's 64 Kg class. That makes two Philippine weightlifters going to Tokyo.

Since China is going to compete in the 55 kg, it looks like the Philippines will have to rely on Boxing or Carlos Yulo in Gymnastics to win their first ever gold medal.

There's also a chance for a gold medal from the new US Open champion Yuka Saso in women's golf. She's currently ranked ninth in the Olympic Golf ranking for women.

Yeah. My apologies. I forgot about that and it just happened this past weekend. Saso is definitely a darkhouse to win a gold in women's golf and she has proven her mettle in representing her country before by winning the gold medal in the 2018 Asian Games.

Who got asia quota in 81kg men ?

No one. There were no eligible lifters from Asia in 81kg to take continental quota. IWF will reallocate that quota.

Ha, they chose Hristov over Grozdev, which is a bit surprising for me. Our coaches are hoping Martirosyan bombs again and it becomes open contest :d

I don't know about Grozdev's chance but Hristov is #1 favorite for bronze here IMO. Martirosyan and Djuraev will win gold and silver unless one of them bombs out. 4-5 guys will compete for bronze, Hristov is slightly better than the rest. could be different if Chumak was here.

^Unless Iakovidis gets in somehow (he's currently missing out by one spot), it will be the first time since 1964 that Greece didn't qualify any weightlifter, because Konstantina Benteli has tested positive for a banned substance and will be out of Tokyo :facepalm:

    • 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.
