heywoodu 13,540 Posted April 2, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 2, 2017 First competition: women's 48kg and I already know literally none of them (apparently they were all good juniors and three of the eight were of course already banned for doping). Erdogan might be going for a medal, cool headline 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!

MHSN 3,157 Posted April 2, 2017 #13 Share Posted April 2, 2017 IWF announced this months ago but I think it doesn't hurt to remind everybody that bodyweight is no longer the tie breaker ! this is kind of a big change, as far as I remember bodyweight was always the tie breaker in this sport. I think they should not write the bodyweight in results book anymore when it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted April 2, 2017 #14 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Lol, some of Croatian entry weights remind me of the famous UAE women's team. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,134 Posted April 2, 2017 Author #15 Share Posted April 2, 2017 One of our best chances for a medal is tonight in the 62. Vladimir Urumov will have a very tough competition against the turks and Khalibekov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably makes the difference in +105 and +90. Due to big differences, heavier athletes were always in disadvantage. Now it's the same luck for everyone. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does that make anything more fair? more simple probably for the fans to understand bodyweight used to have much more importance before 2005, at that time you could not increase the weight less than 2.5kg , which was a big deal when these athletes reach their max at lifting weights, when they make 1kg, you could simply lift 1kg higher than your opponent if you were heavier.
