IIRC, she has a decent chance at a medal. Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does, though like many other weightlifter she only has a decent chance because so many lifters that would probably beat her aren't going to be there because *gestures at weightlifting in general*.

China and the United States are pretty much locks for medals, I guess she has a chance for bronze, but it won't be easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sending more than 1 lifter is not in the rule and it's a good rule. North Korea would have not competed in this weight anyhow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares it's the same in canoe slalom. And anyhow in Paris there are no restrictions on countries (5 per gender) that's what I have heard so no point in discussing this for 1 final time dcro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many sports where it is easier to win an Olympic medal as opposed to a WC medal simply because the OG qualification systems are designed to be more inclusive. Weightlifting is far from unique in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will get really ugly as soon as the general public starts to care about the 2020 Games. I think this kinda went under the radar as COVID dominated the discourse, but that will quickly change once people move on from all the cancellation talk.
