They aren't representing Bulgaria anymore because funding dried up for the sport, but the Bulgarian fan favorite from the 90s, Zlaten Vanev, is joining Nizami Pashaev as coach of the Azerbaijani squad on recommendation of Ivan Abadjiev and Azerbaijan offered citizenship and financial support to several bulgarians (Hristov, Cholakov, Stoizov). Their team isn't totally dead, just representing a new country now.

I think he might have had a fever or something, he really didn't seem like himself today. There's definitely guys in his weight class who are outsquatting him by a lot, but his speed under the bar is just outrageous: I think he could definitely consider moving up to 62/69, he's a few inches too tall to be a 56 and looks like a concentration camp survivor next to that Vietnamese guy, who is built to be 56kg. 1 week until 94kg class! I'm excited, I hope some records finally fall. That snatch record being 1kg higher than the 85kg class is just silliness. | ||

The gold medalist wasn't too bad though I guess, but I really thought wu jingbao had that. He also was heart-broken at the end. | ||

The squat looked pretty easy, but the jerk was behind her head and she couldn't control it. | ||

Snatched 108kg (OR) with ease, went on to equal the OR in C&J (138kg) on her second lift, and then went for a massive WR on her last lift (144kg compared with 141kg WR). Too bad she didn't make it The squat looked pretty easy, but the jerk was behind her head and she couldn't control it.FUUARRRK so close I think she shoulda gone for 142 but man totally dominated the competition Gz also to zoe smith for breaking british records at least and repping us :D Howcome theres so few lifters in 63kg?

Epic 3rd lift there. Got to be hard as hell to do it the 3rd time if you couldn't the 1st/2nd b/c of fatigue. | ||

Nope, can only go up. And China off the medal podium in 62kg, disasterous. The coaches and athletes are going to have a lot to answer for to the Chinese Olympic Committee. There may be bamboo stick beatings. | ||

The bad snatch portion by China just really put too much pressure to do that well in the clean and jerk. North Korea though, 2 weight classes now. O_O | ||

O_O Maybe the hidden excuse is that they had to lay off their gear since britain is always a bitch with testing (since we got the best biochemists and the most anal testing of any country) whereas the other countries invested in better gear (lol sorry ok maybe that's a bit far out haha) | ||
