Unfortunately Harris was the only guy to qualify.
Farris* =D San Francisco has a load of weightlifting clubs, it's pretty ridiculous actually. It sucks hysen is most likely going to be out of olympics for doping. Almost everybody thought he was natural and really was a shining beacon for this sport. There's still clarence, lol. And Aramnau is confirmed out. Too bad :/
hahaha clarence
I joked on facebook about if he went on fitocracy he would get 9001 points for putting in his lifts Then my friend was like "don't forget +dbol as supplement, -1000"
I didn't know people outside of the UK knew about clarence though that's pretty sick

Any bets on which WR will be broken?
Mete Binay 69kg Snatch 166kg Lu Xiaojun 77kg Snatch 176kg, Total 382kg Sa Jae-Hyouk 77kg C&J 211kg
Let's be real though, lots of lifters juice in training and then cycle off of it later. I've heard from some hardcore oly lifting devotees I know about cases of people winning their national comps because they don't test and then getting raped at the international level. Grain of salt, obviously, but it meshes with what I've read independently.

gonna be watching this live tonight, China represent
Indeed, what a monster. I'm surprised that China is actually pretty freaking fantastic at the lower weight levels!
Go China :D
With the multiple weight classes china and russia have invested quite a lot into weightlifting because it's an efficient way of picking up a lot of medals.

Well yeah though there's probably no way China is going to dominate all of the weight classes so it won't necessarily win them that many, but it probably will win them medals in events in which Chinese athletes haven't done that well.
just bought a vpn service so now I can watch all the weightlifting! watching 53kg live! Suprised Iovu snatched 99kg. Anyone know what happened to Zhou Jun?
Any streams that show oly lifting? 2 channels in my country won't show a single lifting event and eurosport 1/2 will only show women lifting this time..

So hard to catch a live stream of weightlifting here in Canada (that is without paying for anything). Just catching the clean and jerk portion of the men's 56kg group A. This sport is just so intense to watch. Anyone else finding themselves cheering for the lifters regardless of their country?
