Anyone with an updated list of suspended countries in weightlifting for the Tokyo Olympics and NOCs with limited quota? Is the one in wikipedia correct?

How is the tournament format?

Yes!!! Quota for ?????? with a dramatic finish hahaha ? Quite a disappointment for our more experienced female jins (Lopez and Alora) I was expecting them to get the quotas instead of Barbosa. No news about injuries, but the pandemic and repeated lockdowns in the country could have affected their performance. Their training bubble started only this year and lasted only for 3 months, there were no foreign sparring partners except for the local ones. Last tournament for our jins was the Manila SEA Games way back in December of 2019. Congrats to Kiani of Iran for getting another quota for her country. Her matches vs THA and vs JOR were not easy. Well deserved victory.

CAM Tubbs and PHI Lopez ? failed to make it to the next round losing to JOR and LBN respectively. The Women’s -57kg has been unpredictable so far

Upset win by IRI Kiani over #1 seed Harnsujin of THA in Women’s -57kg

Impressive showing as expected from the Taiwanese jins going 3 out of 3 possible quotas, looks like they’re the most prepared team in this tournament Uzbekistan and Jordan are 2 out of 2 so far, while Kazakhstan goes empty handed in day1 though I expect them to get two quotas tomorrow Tough possible matches for us Philippines tomorrow: M-58kg vs Jordan W-57kg vs Chinese Taipei W+67kg vs Uzbekistan Hoping for at least 1quota ??????

I feel sorry whenever I hear athletes not able to compete because of the pandemic, surely everyone trained hard to qualify for the olympic games, i just don’t know if the organizers or the national federation should get the blame with this no entry list yet for the tournament?

Is Japan already assured of quotas in M1x and W1x as host nation? If so, are they still eligible to choose two boats from LM2x and LW2x?

Mongolia lost in Men’s -81kg to Vietnam Based on my count, India - 13 Australia, Mongolia - 12 Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan - 11 China - 10 South Korea - 9 Thailand - 8 C. Taipei, Iran, Tajikistan - 7 Jordan, Philippines - 6 Japan, New Zealand - 5 Vietnam - 4 Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iraq - 3 Bahrain, Kyrgyzstan, Samoa - 2 Afghanistan, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Syria - 1

I’ve read in some of our local newspapers that there won’t be a box-off for 5th and 6th place. Instead, they will award 5th place to the one who lost to the gold medallist in the QF and 6th place to loser of eventual silver medallist. Kindly correct me if im wrong ?

I hope we can still get another Gold for the Philippines. If we reach 5 gold medals in this year’s Asian games, this would be our best finish since 1966. Right now we still have 3 boxers in the medal rounds, 2 more in women’s judo. There’s triathlon still but it’s a long shot getting a medal there though anything is still possible

The withdrawal was due to an injury according to an article that came out today
