Asi podle očekávání. Celkový dojem dopadne podle toho, kolik hodí Jakub Vadlejch a na co to bude stačit.

It might be good to add that the 10 categories eventually selected for Paris 2024 are: M: 61, 73, 89, 102, 102+ W: 49, 59, 71, 81, 81+

It looked like some external French company was handling the election. It semmed they never organized a vote before, honestly. An amateur hour. Right after the election, I thought the chances of weightlifting being dropped from Paris 2024 increased quite a lot. With Urso eventually beating Quinonez by one vote in the online run-off for Secretary General, and the top 3 officials being Jaloud, Urso, and Papandrea, I think the outcome is eventually closer to what IOC probably wanted to see. I think IWF might get the final final chance.

BTW, IWF website is hacked.

I'll just say, from the referee's perspective, that IMO there were grounds for a 'no-lift' decision in all three of Salimi's lifts. Tough call either way. And true, Salimi's 2nd was slightly better than the 1st. Having said that, I think that Seim's 2nd lift was good and should have passed, since the movement was in the shoulders exclusively. Let's hope the push for video review is finished before the next Olympics.

Ilya Ilin (Kazakhstan) and Hsu Shu-ching (Chinese Taipei) won the Lifter of the Year titles for 2015. The IWF put out a press release.
