Meanwhile analysing Mirabai's chances, it's more dep on the luck and other player's performance. Two of her rivals are from north korea and China. With 4 per each gender it's gonna be interesting!! North Korea Sure to send lifters in 59, 64,76kg Their 87 kg lifter is very good and could sneak through to be the 4th (In such a case no 49kg lifter) China Sure to send in 55kg, 64kg(just because of experience and being defending Olympic champion and probably world champion again) Surely they won't send lifters in 59 and 76 because no chance of gold. 87kg lifter has a edge in the remaining 3 categories So it's all about - 49 vs +87kg In +87kg, there is presence of Tatiana the WR holder from Russia lifting 333kg.Interestingly Li (Chn) is just 19 years old and lifting 323 already. If Li makes 345+ it's possible she goes through, though it looks a lot but Li has shown such big improvement that nothing can be said. Rakhi’s 214 is her equal best (not counting national championships). She has outside chance of making it to Tokyo. But, even if she qualifies it won’t matter much. Interesting, I had analysed Chinese possibilities and concluded it is in their best interest to send athlete in 49kg. 10kg difference in 49kg is huge snd it is a sure shot gold for them. But, I missed possibility of PRK not sending Ri in 49kg. At present it seems following is situation of PRK: 49kg: fight with Mirabai for Silver/Bronze 55kg: no chance 59kg: fight with Taipei for Gold/Silver 64kg: clear silver 76kg: clear Gold if CHN doesn’t send 87kg: clear silver +87kg: fight for Silver/Bronze with USA if CHN doesn’t send and fight for Bronze if CHN sends. So, yes there is a very real possibility that North Korea won’t send a lifter in 49kg. kapil857 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which categories are they likely to field their lifters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unlikely They had expressed their desire to participate in World.championship maybe a.month ago. IWF had blatantly refused them. They are trying to secure permission for SEA championship but i doubt they will approve. If Thailand seeks to re enter IWF may have to keep them in suspension Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
