Olympian1010 7,477 Posted July 2, 2022 #582 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Absolute chaos in weightlifting. Qerimaj 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 wins the gold medal in snatch on his final lift “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

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” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big difference from the athletes Turkey and Azerbaijan buy, who are nothing but mercenaries. Let's be honest here. Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,477 Posted July 2, 2022 #590 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Can 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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
