well I don't think that was a "good lift" for Rejepov ! but who I am !? when IWF wants to give medal to someone

how come you are supervising them and watching this at the same time ? nobody cheats during exams in Netherlands ?

interesting . only 6kg separates the opening CJ attempt of top 9 weightlifters .

Karapetyan withdrew from CJ pity I would like to laugh more after 3 more failed attempts of him.

Very interesting so far. great back to back WRs by Lyu and Ihab. and now there is really a medal chance for Turkmenistan. Rejepov looked actually very good in snatch,

this is funny, it didn't look he really can lift that ! that was too heavy for him. I wonder he even tried that before in training

why Armenians never learn ?

with Ihab, Chinese and Armenian guy. it will be really hard but yeah still alive and he could life more , missed on attempt for a dumb mistake

Rejepov so it was crowd's fault ?!

I wonder if they really awarded that medal to Zielinski or not. (I know he is listed as 3rd, but that doesn't mean he received that medal) if I'm not wrong I think IOC had a policy of not re-allocation medal to athletes with doping history.

it looked like Shi Zhiyong could life much more than that. all attempts looked very easy for him ! interesting silver medal for Won JS from Group B, huge improvement after bombing out at the Asian Games. 19th place for Soltani I know he is just 18 but still that was terrible for someone in Group A.

only a North Korean can injures himself after throwing the weight

just watched this 205kg in snatch for someone with 96kg bodyweight ! this is 9kg more than Standard record for 109kg ! even though he is not going to try that in the competition. because of Tian Tao he will probably only try to make a good gap for the CJ where Tian Tao sometimes does impossible works. still 185kg WR should be too easy for him.

I'm 100% sure this is no problem for China to qualify the maximum possible quota. they should not even care about that. but I thought after being absent for a year. the Chinese team is more prepared to dominate the competition . making a statement or something like that. only one gold after 6 events isn't great for China.

Only new WR in total so far we have new WR only in 4 out of 9 possible chances in men's events. I really don't like this "World Standards" to remain for long. I was expecting more from China. but at least they got their first gold.

This is unbelievable ! https://www.iwf.net/2018/11/03/iwf-statement-womens-45kg-bodyweight-category/ first. the Turkmen girl deserved this medal (even though her lift was dubious and even one judge gave her a red light) BUT when they rejected her and awarded the medal yesterday this is unbelievable to change it a day later ! they also let Turkmenistan has 4 "extra" weightlifters in the competition. they are listed in start list as "extra" something MQS in shooting but the thing is , we never had such thing. . there is no such thing in the rules. nothing never changes in IWF as long as Tamas Ajan is the president. it's more normal to have corruption in sports like wrestling or boxing because of the nature of officiating in these sports. but in weightlifting ?! they bend the rules whenever they want. I know for a fact that they did sometimes in favor and sometimes against Iran. depends on Ajan's relationship with the Iranian officials at the time.

he wanted a better CJ medal. he probably knew he has no chance for 174kg. even though I would try 174 but sometimes these snatch / CJ medals come to the play. what a day for Eko Yuli Irawan. he was great. 3 gold medals. 2 WRs. and he was capable for lifting more. interesting that still no gold medal for China, I thought they are going to destroy the competition after being banned for a year. at least not yet.

World Record and most probably first ever gold medal of Indonesia for Irawan what a year for him

EY Irawan won Indonesia's first ever gold in Weightlifting at the Asian Games couple months ago in Jakarta. let's see if he can win Indonesia's first ever gold in men's weightlifting . I was hoping for a WR attempt , he was definitely capable of that in snatch but well medals come first always.

wow they did the same mistake again !! Vietnam 2nd attempt should be before Georgia's 3rd attempt ! both of the same weight and this time they didn't give another chance to Georgia and didn't annul his attempt which he failed !! yesterday they did that for Turkmenistani athlete and somehow didn't let her to win the silver.

Yeah I read about that. when Junpim Kuntatean changed her name to Prapawadee Jaroenrattanatarakoon to get luck and she won the Olympic gold after that even though I prefer to not make fun of other country's culture and respect them all but this one is a bit funny.

hmmm, Martirosyan's entry is much better but then we know Armenians usually post entries much higher than their capabilities. and on other hand Nurudinov usually doesn't show his cards and post low entries. if you ask me I still pick Nurudinov. Armenians are good but they rarely win the whole thing. (actually only one gold in whole history !!)

how come Chayuttra Pramongkhol can easily become Sirivimon Pramongkhol . they change name very easly and frequently. looks like whenever they get bored

maybe they are not alone in this there is a "Bobby Sands" street next to British embassy in Tehran and btw there is no political relationship between Iran and Egypt for something like 40 years for the same reason. A street's name !

feel sorry for the Bulgarian kid. he was sure about winning a CJ medal after his lift. too much celebration but it seems he is going home empty handed unless Om bombs out. Thailand and Vietnam both bombed out in Snatch but won CJ medals
