Now you have to remember who lifted which weight first instead of just looking at the body weight that's mentioned everywhere anyway 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!

Two guys lift the same weight, with the same attempts, but the one that is first in the start list wins the gold, while the other gets silver, even though they have done the same thing. Things get more and more absurd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things get more and more absurd... I do get this rule for the heavy categories dcro mentioned, where you've got 150kg monsters competing with 106kg people for example. For the rest it's just stupid and, indeed, absolutely idiotic.

Federer91 2,134 Posted April 2, 2017 Author #25 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Tough categorie, at least we got one bronze in the C&J, though of course i wished it was in the overall, but our guys were too far after the snatch. Grozdev is only 18, he sets a good marker for the future. The cyrpiot was a surpise for me, almost clinched a big medal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted April 3, 2017 #27 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Commentators here are calling the total category (snatch + clear&jerk) as "biathlon". Theoretically it's a correct name, but yeah... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
