dcro 10,172 Posted September 18, 2017 #131 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Jumabayeva lifted 189kg in women's -48kg. That would have given her a medal in Rio! But this is weightlifting, so you never know... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted September 18, 2017 #132 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Despite winning the gold, I'm a bit surprised with the poor performance of Iran team sprint , without China, Korea, Japan and even Malaysia, they should dominate the competition , still they beat Kazakhstan narrowly. poor day in athletics, our Asian Champion in shot put finished 9th with more than 2.5 metres below his own record of few weeks ago ! two more golds in Taekwondo, no surprise, we always can count on this sport except when it counts, the Olympics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently she is not quite as motivated at the Asian championships. 2016 - 163kg 2017 - 165kg Edited September 18, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff88 1,729 Posted September 19, 2017 Author #135 Share Posted September 19, 2017 It's sad to see our Youth Olympic bronze medalist weightlifter struggling in senior level... Even Dika Toua is better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, in almost all sports YOG is pretty meaningless when it comes to the reference for the future. You might as well win the gold knowing yourself that there are number of others in your age category better than you (but they didn't get to compete thanks to weird qualification system and whatnot...). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,047 Posted September 19, 2017 #139 Share Posted September 19, 2017 3 gold medals and a bunch of silver and bronze happy for the last gold, Taftian broke the national record to win the 60m. the other two golds were from Taekwondo, so far our men's team is undefeated, 4 golds out of 4 athletes. and Iran got robbed a gold medal in belt wrestling against Turkmenistan, I'm glad they didn't disqualify the poor Iranian girl, she was protesting too much .
