Very emotional moment with that win, so happy to see gold! Besides our heavyweight pahlevoon, are there any other lifters that can win some jewelry?

Actually the only one who isn't odds on to win is our super heavyweight. We have the favourite in the other two categories.

Ah right, i just read the post about Salimi recovering from ACL injury. I'm optimistic regardless after this result, hopefully they all exceed expectations.

Its ridiculous that there isnt one medal for the snatch and one for the clean and jerk. These 2 moves are completely different and require different skills and muscle groups. In fact, in most cases, weightlifters are often better in one than the other. Today Kianoush deserved 2 gold medals. He was the best in the snatch and the clean and jerk. Yet we have swimmers with dozens of events. For example they do freestyle swimming but at 50m, 100m, 200m etc... It is so dumb. Its the exact same style but with varying distances. How does that deserve all these different medals but not weightlifting?

The world championships in weightlifting give medals for both snatch and c&j. The olympics needs to be the same.

Excellent point. I totally agree with you. How about writing to World organizations about this?

^^yeah getting tired of the US having at least 4 gold medals guaranteed, just because of Phelps.

Not only the they don't increase the number of medals where the world powers aren't good at, but they actually reduce our medal chances every 4 years. Wrestling used to have 10 weight categories which they reduced to 8 by the 21st century, then reduced to 7 in 2012 and now we have 6 weight categories. Then they add shitty sports like golf and skating to the games while wusho anad karate have no place. Sad.

[Narse]

karate is up in 2020! but true, system is biased in favor of usa, russia, and china.

[Narse]
