@heywoodu Kuworge just lifted 411kg (his new PB) in total to beat two Iranian weightlifters for the gold in world juniors :d

 

with that result he will take that Israeli weightlifter. he will be in 24th position and with a bit of luck he will qualify for the Olympics. I believe he has a good chance.

Does Litvanov the Israeli has a chance?

Wow :yikes: 

 

When will we know?

 

And now I hope there's not some internal limit which would restrict him..

If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Dutch NOC makes it difficult, as per usual. For 'layer 1' of the international qualifying pathway, there are no additional requirements. For layer 2, there is an additional requirement of having to lift at least equal the total weight of the 8th placed competitor at the 2019 world championships (424kg in this case).

 

The question is, what exactly is layer 1, what is layer 2, and in which layer would he qualify?

we will have the final list in 2 weeks apparently but we will probably have a better idea when IWF publishes the updated list (after removing ineligible weightlifters) on 3 or 4 June.

 

This is the ranking if we remove "obvious" ineligible weightlifters.

if all those weightlifters expected to not participate doesn't get selected, CZE and HUN will be in top 8 and Kuworge will take the European quota. but even if none of this happens. he still has a good chance to take the re-allocated African quota.

 

this will be stupid to deny him a chance. he is the World Junior Champion with a brilliant future.

 

:GEO

:ARM good chance not be selected

:BLR good chance not be selected

:IRI

:BRA

:SYR

:TKM

:ALG

-----------------------------------TOP8

:RUS Won't be selected 99%

:AUT 109kg weightlifter but has a chance to play dirty and qualify here

:CZE

:KOR won't be selected most probably

:JPN won't be selected most probably

:HUN

:USA

:NED

Anyone with an updated list of suspended countries in weightlifting for the Tokyo Olympics and NOCs with limited quota? Is the one in wikipedia correct?

this is the last updated list, Vietnam is likely to be added too. and Romania.
