thepharoah 2,284 Posted May 21, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 21, 2019 https://www.iwf.net/wp-content/uploads/downloads/2019/05/START-LIST_SUVA2019.pdf Start list of junior weightlifting world championship in Fiji , The biggest highlight here is that China will send a very descent team based on entries in men's side and a very strong team in women's side , but ofc it's only initial entries that will change , Egypt will send a team of 6 lifters i think our biggest chances based on what i saw in last African championship will be in men's -89 and women's -71 kg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entry totals are way below, 70-80kgs below personal best in some categories. For example Li Wenwen lifted 322 in recent Asian championships is +87kg W. Here her entry total in 255 kg Edited May 21, 2019 by Fly_like_a_don thepharoah and Function CR Lee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here her entry total in 255 kg The provisional entry doesn't matter at all. and China has a history of putting very low entries just for fun. they will fix it later btw there are lots of Iranian names on that list. but it seems most of them are not going to Fiji ! our WL federation can't afford such a long and costly trip to Fiji. it will be only 2-3 weightlifters from Iran and even that's not a sure thing.

Griff88 1,735 Posted June 5, 2019 #6 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Apparently Samoa won gold from Don Opeloge, and from that I learned that Samoa has won an Olympic medal from 2008 based on reallocation after disqualifying the dopers (3 years late lol) thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
