The Olympics (Weightlifting)

Edwardius · 23-07-2012 2:03pm #1

Start list by country, final entry list

No Yong, only Zoe Smith in the wimmins for britain (perdue must be broken).A bunch of Bulgarians lifting for Azerbaijan, the two Andreis are in for Belarus. A pair of Lus for china in the 77s (records will probably get ruined). No Dolega for Poland. Russian men look strong. Womens 75 and supers should be interesting too.

I am excite.

Edit: Dolega, and Lu Yong are showing up in the PDF. The chinese will probably adjust opening totals a few days out. 94s are going to be awesome, 8 of them have over 400 down as openers.

bring it on....

Molly · 23-07-2012 2:09pm

Is it going to be televised on any channels?

Edwardius · 23-07-2012 2:20pm

Probably Eurosport but just the "A" groups. I might just get a months subscription because I'm not arsed with dodgy streams. CCTV5 in china usually televise weightlifting live but I've always found it a pain in the ass trying to get it working.

Scuba Ste · 23-07-2012 6:32pm

Chinese openers are gas. I don't what they're playing at.

Pendlay forum is saying it's not on Eurosport. Anyone else know anything?

I seen a pic of Stoitsov as an 85. Big man.

DylanJM · 23-07-2012 7:00pm

I'd say bbc will have coverage.

The 105's are gonna be epic, really hope Klokov does it this year.

squod · 23-07-2012 8:04pm

I'll watch the stream. Or more likely tape it off the computer and watch it later.

Damnit, I was kinda hoping he was gonna piss on the Russians' party. Don't think he's on the best of terms with the national coach.

Edwardius · 27-07-2012 11:46am

Pulaku popped. A few more too.

Marzena Karpińska (48kg) is out because of the presence of high levels of the synthetic steroid, at a sample from the June 2nd Polish Championships

Thanks for the links. The quality on this stream is great and you can rewind everything as well. No commentary though.
