Absolute chaos in weightlifting. Qerimaj :ALB given a no lift on his final attempt (he had failed his two previous), which looked technically acceptable to me. He begins to celebrate before it’s ruled a no lift. He and the Albanian team then go nuts when it’s ruled a no lift. The jury intervenes, but as they’re deliberating the Albanian team surrounds the table and begins arguing with them. Qerimaj is waltzing around the platform pissed. Eventually the call is overturned, giving him a good lift and the lead. He then celebrates more before being escorted off the platform.
 

I’m not sure if situations like this help improve the credibility of the sport, but it was certainly something to watch. 
 

Anyway, Zanni :ITA wins the gold medal in snatch on his final lift :p

So it's okay when they do it but not other countries. Alright then.

 

 

If Nyfantopoulos were Algerian instead of Greek, I'm sure you would have a different opinion...

I found it hilarious the guy in white (I think he’s the announcer) just calmly watched the whole thing and he was like “ah shit here we go again” :lol:

Yes but I imagine he lived in France most of his life, no?

 

A big difference from the athletes Turkey and Azerbaijan buy, who are nothing but mercenaries. Let's be honest here.

Lebanon will win a medal in shooting.


Andorra will win once canoe slalom becomes part of the program. :p

What about Pol Moya, 800m?

Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

No medal for him there. He had a nice showing in the 1500m tonight, but no medal there either.

Can :TUR runs a similar race to Gega. Takes the lead early in the 5000m and wins the race with a handy margin. I think it’s a smart strategy if you’re confident your best is a comfortable amount above everyone else’s.
