And the tight race between boxing and weightlifting for the most absurd and stupid qualifications is getting closer and closer. Just when you think, one is getting a lead, the other catches up with a new twist, after a talk with the team-IOC radio. Who is going to bring home the victory? Who is going to outdo themselves? Stay tuned for the exciting final stages of this historic 5 year race!

I like how it is oddly specified only after 1996 I think more accurate statistics could be made, if it was filtered by english speaking, hosted in the Northern Hemisphere Olympics after 1996!

It's hard to think of an athlete, who has 15 medals at the Euro Champs with a single discipline.

Unsurprisingly we are sending the B teams for the men. Only the two russians Magamaev and Bataev from the ones that will compete in the final qualifier are on the start lists. The women on the other hand have all the best going. Guess they fancy the Euro, as good preparation and won't be too tired unlike the men.

Here too it is very likely that AstraZeneca will be pulled out. Not because the Government wants to, but because there is a negative interest from the people for it. After all the "publicity" it got in the last month from different countries and the media, no one wants it anymore, no matter how many times the experts say it safe. In February there were green corridors and they ran out in record time and there were scandals, that we haven't ordered enough vaccines and whatnot. Now there is an abundance of Astra Zeneca and they are just standing there, because no one is using them. Everyone wants Pfizer or Moderna.

Not only in wrestling, you can say that for many other sports. It has to be written somewhere, i've seen it way too many times.

Ughhhh, i though we had gotten rid of that troll.. Seriously, screw you Quickstep for bringing him back into the picture

It's probably 95% American and British commentators, these studies barely have any reach. Also, it's not a question can women play best of 5, it's that people don't want them to

I can swap with India, if needed.

Ummm, not to burst your bubble, but i'm fairly certain that China is going to choose the 87+. They are much more prone in the lighter women's weights, unlike the men and have it safer on the heavier ones.

Super-heavyweights are always so fair. Emily Campbell with body weight of 122 kg towers over all other in the 87+ category. Nothing against her, but when there are 5 women with 92 kg or lower competing in the same category, you know things are a bit unfair.

He was only 14 in 2018, so very, very early to compete amongst the men. But still, this doesn't exclude how absolutely awful the qualification system has been in this sport.

Is she admitting that every war the US have fought in the last 50 years has been for resources . I thought this was a tabu topic in front of the general masses.

I haven't looked anywhere about this, other than here, but are we non-existent Is there someone competing at all?

No chance for the Olympics, as you are right, he doesn't have the 3 periods rule. Also i don't think, they are giving out wildcards

Damn Pizzolato, where did that come from. Karlos did everything perfect for a 16 year old, but allez. Nevertheless, he tasted a big Championship against the men and next time it will be the World Records.

The voice of a generation of kids, heard all around the world! The man, the myth, the legend! That passion just brings me way back

Andreev fumbles 156 and there goes the gold medal

Wow, another amazing performance from our guys. This was one category, where there were no expectations, as the guys came in with 6-7 starting weights, but Genchev managed to snatch the bronze with 6 successful attempts.

A brilliant competition so far at 67! Out of 30 attempts only 3 fails in the snatch. The fight in the C&J is going to be brutal.

World number 1 Gerwyn Price has tested positive for Covid and is out of the Premiere League, which starts tonight Wade to replace him, as highest ranked player not already in.

That is a stupid way to use the machine What's the point, when you are basically doing the same thing like with a paper ballot. Only difference is that instead of a pen, you have to go and print the ballot through the machine!? Here it was like an ATM basically. You get a card, you slot it in the machine, it generates the ballot, you mark your choices, you click on Vote, it asks for confirmation, so you can check again your selection, Vote again and that's it.

I'm actually surprised at the large amount of people that wanted to vote with the machines today. They even showed on TV an 80 year old grandma, who wanted to try the machine, but it wasn't working in her section and she was very disappointed.

Things are going like a charm, 3rd Euro title This is like the glory days of pre-2005 Definitely the first in my conscious viewing of weightlifting.
