Tian "after failing 211" tried 218 (equal to WR at the time) and made it. Rostami's face was funny at the time, he collapsed on his chair. you never can say never with Tian Tao. he almost pulled out something like that in Rio 2016 but this time Rostami had one more attempt saved to come back and win the gold. thepharoah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put flags aside if it provides awesome competition, come on The likes of Tian Tao are exactly what makes me enjoy weightlifting, just like that epic, epic 214kg CJ WR for gold by Rahimov in Rio.

I like to see such a competition but winning the gold medal comes first. it's not like we can win more than 10 golds in the Olympics. Moradi is one of our few Olympic gold medal chances. but maybe this is too early to talk about the Olympics. Moradi is not young, let's see if he can keeps his current shape for the Olympics after all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepharoah 2,287 Posted November 7, 2018 #394 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) really interesting competition in women's -69 kg , no senior WRs were broken , but it was really worth watching , China took the gold , Silver went for Olympic champion Rim Jong Sim and Ecuador won bronze with an extraordinary performance by Neisi Dajomes scoring a total of 259 KG Edited November 7, 2018 by thepharoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepharoah 2,287 Posted November 8, 2018 #400 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Lidia won the gold , but only secured a bronze in C&J ,quite a good tournament for Belarus overall and very dubious call in Slazar's 3rd attempt in C&J , IMO that can't be a good lift Edited November 8, 2018 by thepharoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
