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.

Let's not count Diaz out. She wasn't good at Tashkent and could have faced challenge for the medals from Chinsanlo and Nabieva. 

 

Hang on did you guys read the recent  article about her? @Tigercub She's in her form of her life. 

 

100kg snatch + 130kg CJ = 230 kg

 

That's 3kg more than Liao Qiaoyun's best. I know expecting training lift  at Olympics is hard. But even if it's 98 + 128kg could just be enough for gold.

^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 

That means that the European Continental Quota goes to Sabine Kusterer correct?

Yeah, I’m following her in her Instagram account ?

I was thinking that she competed in the Asian Championships just to fulfill the requirement of 6 tournaments but it turned out the rules were changed by the IWF. To be honest, I was expecting more from her during the contest.

 

I believe she will be a medallist, the question is of what color ??????

I dont think he is in, according to IWF ranking.

He must have assumed qualification because he was ahead of the Oceanian continental representative. Pretty embarrassing.

I just checked his IG. I couldnt find any info about quota. Maybe he deleted a post.

Thought so.

It would be so strange and disgraceful for him to publish something thats not official or at least plausible.

From this chart i posted, only colored lifters should qualify. Blue ones are CQ. He is 2 or 3rd from Europe, if i remember correctly.

Maybe he knows that somebody wont compete or something like that. 

@MHSN didnt mention him as possible candidate so i hope he can resolve this puzzle.
