Vietnam has almost 100 million people. In a huge country like this, it baffles me that the only sport to have decent chances at an Olympic medal doesn't receive enough funding to test athletes, apparently.

Russia most probably won't use this guy but not sure about Albania. they have 2 quotas (1 is already confirmed) they surely prefer Qerimaj at 81kg but if he doesn't make it they will use this 96kg quota. thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disappointed, sure, but surprised...? Respect for these athletes, good luck trying to perform in this..

MHSN 3,047 Posted May 30, 2021 #327 Share Posted May 30, 2021 IWF updates its website with African Champs results and added them to the Olympic Ranking. only some weights at the World Juniors are left. from what I see, the followings are the best ranked Africans 61kg: E. Andriantsitohaina 67kg: T. Andriatsitohaina 73kg: Ben Hnia (Top 8) and Moum 81kg: Bahloul 96kg: Amoah 109kg: Bacha +109kg: Bidani (Top 8) no African weightlifter is eligible to grab the +109kg African quota. 49kg: Ranaivosoa 55kg: Landoulsi (she is also Africa #1 at 59kg) 59kg: Rahmouni ( Taljaard is next) 64kg: Rahmouni ( Pretorious is next) 76kg: Eyenga 87kg: Meukeugni +87kg: nobody is eligible * Rahmouni is more likely to pick 64kg dcro and thiago_simoes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
