MHSN 3,047 Posted September 27, 2019 #182 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Talakhadze's 484kg total record is the best total ever. by far. he can consider himself as one of the best weightlifters ever what a terrible day for Davoudi. he just lifted 445kg 3 weeks ago in Tehran. today was the worst day of his career the interesting point is, those Armenian guys most provably won't participate at the Olympics. (Armenia has 1 quota and they will use it for 109kg) Talakhadze already has gold medal in his pocket but we will have some lucky weightlifters winning silver and bronze with low records.

MHSN 3,047 Posted October 1, 2019 #184 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Checking some results, +109kg will be extremely easy for the Olympics. Talakhadze already has the gold but we will have lucky medalists in this weight. let's check the medalists in past few years 2019: 484 460 437 432 431 430 2018: 474 450 447 436 432 427 2017: 477 454 454 447 444 440 and in Euro 2019: 478 447 440 423 422 418 2018: 457 417 416 415 407 380 and in Asia 2019: 432 422 421 418 410 400 2018: 461 456 455 425 405 Best Results in all competitions removing disqualified and ineligible weightlifters (also removing Talakhadze) 2019: 432 431 430 425 424 422 those in red are disqualified, retired or can't participate (99%) because of the quota limitations. Mart Seim of Estonia is very poor recently. and those 2 Iranian weightlifters with big results in 2018 are both retired (even though one of them just changed his mind but it seems late) and this new young Iranian weightlifter is very inconsistent even though he lifted 445kg in Iran 2 weeks before the Worlds. bottom line: there is a VERY good chance for Algeria, Brazil, Turkmenistan, Syria or Chinese Taipei to win a super heavy weight medal in weightlifting winning an Olympic medal with something like 430kg !!!

heywoodu 13,504 Posted November 11, 2019 #186 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) Damn, just finished watching now so also here I'm late to the party, but I'd like to nominate that insane 264kg as one of the moments of 2019 in sports So happy I managed to avoid spoilers all the way to now Well, I hope he does as expected in Tokyo and confirms the gold with his 1st attempt in CJ, so then he can go for 267kg and the all-time record Edited November 11, 2019 by heywoodu thepharoah 1 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!

Personally I'd always wait with actually filling in his name as gold medalist until he officially is You know, so many times in the history of sports we've seen a '100% sure winner' suddenly get injured during a competition, fall (not really applicable to weightlifting of course), or have some other sort of problem, but yeah, without something like that he definitely won't be beaten It's not as exciting, I agree, but on the other hand...seeing someone snatch 220kg with ease (I wouldn't be surprised if he could do 230kg) and then CJ 264kg...that's insane 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!

thiago_simoes 1,359 Posted November 12, 2019 #190 Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) My first thought when I saw the title of this thread again several weeks after the competition ended was: Okay, how many dopers have been caught now? Maybe three, five? Edited November 12, 2019 by thiago_simoes Dolby and phelps 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
