Is it correct that Enzo Kuworge :NED has a (small) chance left to qualify in the +109kg via the junior worlds? And if so, what exactly does he need to do there? Or, you know, as 'exactly' as possible :p 

I think it's impossible, to have a small chance he has at least to overtake Nagy, and couldn't be enough, 390 points over him, I would say no chance for him.

But that's possible (if unlikely). What I want to know is if it's still theoretically possible and if so, what he has to do in terms of weights.

I think something around 441 kg

he can't make it to top 8. that's for sure. the best he can do is to surpass the Israeli athlete right above himself in the ranking (that's quite possible) and then he has to wait for other countries to make their choices. lots of countries above him have limited number of quotas and some other options in other weights.

And surpassing the Israeli athlete is what he can do by somehow, with some miracle, lift a total of roughly 441kg? I know exact weights are usually not really possible to say because of the system, but maybe sort of a range is possible to know when he has a chance :d

no no, he needs much less ! IWF website (and its ranking section) is not working properly for me right now. :facepalm::wall:I can't give you an accurate answer. but I think something around 410-415 is enough for that purpose.

 

he needs some big big lifts if he wants to surpass Nagy (HUN) and Orcag (CZE) to increase his chance massively but that's beyond his capacities. he better only focus on the Israeli guy.

@heywoodu it's working now, he needs 405 or 406. that's still higher than his PB (398kg) but considering his age and the fact that he improved his PB big time in the last European Champs. I think that's 50/50 for him.

Vietnam is now (or will be) banned from the Olympic weightlifting

IWF also updates its ranking with Colombia event results and World Juniors results so far.

Weightlifting would be our best shot at getting a medal at Tokyo. I know it is for the best to save weightlifting at Olympics and also for the sake of IOC's integrity but it is heartbreaking to see our athletes (still training and hoping to go to Tokyo soon) fail to qualify just because of some stupid young athletes.

 

Currently, I doubt that our federation has the ability to test young athletes regularly, let alone has a doping scheme.

Welcome to the forum @River Knight. Nice to see new comer from Asia, especially my nearest neighbor, I am from Guangxi by the way.

    • She's quite well-known in the world of alpine skiing, and besides, she's had several serious injuries and always returned to a high level. Now, for me, she has a chance to win a medal in the giant slalom on OG.

    • Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately show the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.    
    • Latvia seriously attacking the anti-record in WJCh history with the fewest shots on goal in a game    4 SOG after 48 minutes is really quite atrocious stat  
    • My personal favorite in Canadian athlete is Valerie Grenier. She's so likeable and sweet
    • Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)
    • Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way. 
    • Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.
    • team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
