Can you lower your weight between lifts?
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. Big time failure by china in 62kg. 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 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)
I doubt the North Koreans have better gear than China lol.
Also, man that colombian guy who didnt hit the 177kg clean and jerk until his third lift.. dramatic stuff. And then seeing the Colombian and the Indonesian just cry tears of absolute happiness, even I teared up along with them.

On another forum, the chinese team is under a lot of stress to make gold. Which led to Wu and zhang struggling to make weight.

Hopefully for Wu and Zhang's sake, they won't be punished too severely for failing to get gold (who knows what happens to the Chinese weightlifters who fail though O_o)

uh i doubt anything will happen to them. They are still good enough to be on the national team, everyone has bad days. I wonder what the gold medal winners from China do with all that money that they just won though.

Haha, I was just kidding. Still though, bad showings by the Chinese in the men's weightlifting so far. For some reason, even though I tend to cheer against China in most events, I'm a big fan of Chinese weightlifting.

Wait for 77kg. Chinese get 2 medals for certain, probably a snatch WR in the process.
|
If China loses 69kg and 77kg that's probably the end of the Chinese Men's Weightlifting empire that's lasted so long. They've already been dealing with funding cuts, hopefully 69 and 77 can get some redemption so they don't have to deal with further funding cuts.

watched the 61kg lifting last night, they were lifting 177, thats almost 3 times their body weight... insane.
|
Yesterday's women's lifting wasn't bad. I thought she was going to get the world record for a second. Shame she didn't, but at least she got the gold  she was surprisingly REALLY girly in the interviews though, seemed off-putting after she put up those crazy numbers.

So pumped for 77 i can't wait to see lu xiaojun break all 3 records in one swoop

I hope he does well too :D
Dunno though, anything could happen, hope he doesn't hurt himself trying if he does fail to break his records >_<

WON Jeongsik just snatched 144kg like a boss.

Mete Binay seriously underperforming.
|
Wow, that turkish guy squat jerked while holding the barbell on his fingers (instead of his palms like everyone else so far?)
|
that south korean guy just bounced off the platform. Yes, his ass was 1cm from hitting the platform lol.
