a very good point.

I honestly believe they are having no problem with the virus. Being a police state, they could just quarantine the 'entire' 100 person team for 3...

If we now ban China too we at least get close categories again. The disparity between rankings and entries is going to be stark.

I believe K. Asanidze is Georgi's son as well as another brother who lifts (Saba).

There's also Vasil Marinov who competed at 102 here, he could be the son of Sevdalin who won in Seoul at 52 (which would make this a bit funny). ...

Talakhadze's positioning with the barbell and the consistency thereof is certainly the main reason why his total is now 485. If he had the sloppy...

Is Lasha the greatest ever? His mobility and movement at 176kgs is genuinely insane.

4/10 must have been something bc fizzled out on CJ. Possibly too many Sn DL/pulls. 1/2 fajitas burrito, 6 taquitos with guac, 2 kodiak waffles, cup...

Out of twelve "SHW" women here, six are clearly W87 lifters.

He looks exactly like Angel when he shaved his head in 1987, I'm just making a strong association between lifting and the name. I wonder if Hristov...

Apologies - posted in error and cannot delete

I had forgotten about the geo-political elements at play in these European championships. 102's had Armenia 1st and 2nd, Azerbaijan 3rd - no love...

If they came out and said anything against Japan, they would just be ignored. They might get some other nations to follow suit this way. It's also a...

I think they view this as a threat to their national security. The country above all is a military state. They'd send a team of likely 100+...

Last year their junior Yordanov was banned for exogenous test, however he lifts for a German club so it's possible the sample was taken there. As...

4-8-21 Thursday Row 2K warm up Row 3 x 2K intervals on 1:10 rest avg pace 2:05.8 avg rate 23 spm SSB squats 135 x 10

I wonder what happened to Robion Bochkov? He isn't on the start list but he had an even better ROBI score than Naniev coming in to this competition.

I don't understand why Romanova never fills out as 76 (72.06 today) even though she aims for the title when she lifts there. If Russia is allowed...

Seriously looks as if Bulgaria put all of their drugs into this kid's results versus any of their other lifters in the 61/67. Anyone notice that...

What's the thinking here by the NK's? Don't like Japan? But they would just come out and say that. The whole "protecting their athletes from...

Their results (collectively) since about 2017 are pretty in line with the increased testing pressure and I can't remember a name or number that...

It would be a waste of time to say, "Bulgaria can you please cool it." They would probably point to Lasha and say something to the effect of, 'if...

Curious case of Nurcan Taylan TUR, she now has ALL results after her 2008 re-test vacated. Technically this also includes a WR from 2010 which the...
