Braulio 111 Posted June 28, 2021 #601 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I expect Colombia, Vietnam and Turkey get those suspensions no matter the excuses like the colombians made; though they still will be able to send a reduced team but I hope they don't get away and qualify full team and get potential medals that later will be under suspicion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have high hopes, but I'd gladly let the Dutch NOC surprise me...

heywoodu 13,557 Posted June 28, 2021 #603 Share Posted June 28, 2021 NOC document says in a certain situation (it's unclear in which situation) he has to have lifted the same as the 8th placed finisher at the previous world championships (Fernando Reis, 424kg). He got to 411kg at junior worlds recently, which is obviously less than 424kg, so I'm not optimistic...

Dragon 1,701 Posted June 28, 2021 #604 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Does anyone know whether Simon Martirosyan of Armenia has been cleared to compete at 109 kg in Tokyo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armenia registered his name over World Silver medalist in another weight. I think that pretty much shows he is cleared to compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,557 Posted June 29, 2021 #609 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Dutch media is reporting Kuworge is qualified, but that doesn't mean a lot Let's wait for some official word.

Weightlifting is not a head-to-head sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
