This is unbelievable !

first. the Turkmen girl deserved this medal (even though her lift was dubious and even one judge gave her a red light) BUT when they rejected her and awarded the medal yesterday this is unbelievable to change it a day later !

 

they also let Turkmenistan has 4 "extra" weightlifters in the competition. they are listed in start list as "extra" something MQS in shooting but the thing is , we never had such thing. . there is no such thing in the rules. nothing never changes in IWF as long as Tamas Ajan is the president. it's more normal to have corruption in sports like wrestling or boxing because of the nature of officiating in these sports. but in weightlifting ?! they bend the rules whenever they want. I know for a fact that they did sometimes in favor and sometimes against Iran. depends on Ajan's relationship with the Iranian officials at the time.

4 (1 for Colombia, Italy, Spain and Romania). If we count only the big medals only Scarantino is a not-asian medallist

Kinda expected especially in the lower weights though, you know, tiny Asian people :p :sure:

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!
