2013 World Weightlifting Championships

DylanJM

So the worlds are starting soon (20th Oct.) so I thought I'd start a thread.

Start Lists

Women:

Any predictions? 85's has the makings of something special. Aramnau in the 105's will be interesting as well.

Anyone know if Eurosport will be covering it?

Final start list, not sure if there's any changes from the ones I posted above.

Men + Women

I think Nurudinov could be a dark horse in the 105's. Recently did 190+230 (I think) at the Asian championships.

I checked the Eurosport website yesterday and it seems they will be showing some of it. I'm not sure if they'll have everything live though.

Definitely looking forward to Aramnau in the 105kgs, so speedy.

Nadezda Evstyukhina, Olga Zubova and Lidia Valentin in the 75kgs should be good too.

The two glamour boys, Lu Xiaojun and Apti Aukhadov, can't wait to see them. Think Apti has something big up his sleeve for this competition.

I'm actually going to be in Wroclaw, so going to see a few of the sessions. Tickets were unbelievably cheap, €4 for some days and €7.50 for the higher weight categories.

So it kicks off today with the 48kg women's event.

This will be the easiest place to stay up to date for schedule and finding out how to watch.

I looked through the eurosport listings yesterday and it seems they are only showing a highlights in the mornings rather than the live events, which is a bit of a shame tbh.

DylanJM

So apparently Eurosport do have a live webstream. Not sure if I am allowed to post links to streaming sites so I won't but I'm sure people will be able to find a link easy enough.

Anyone one else watch the 56's? Om Yun Chol took the C+J and overall but dislocated his elbow attempting a 170kg jerk

Kaloma

Lets hope for a speedy recovery, Still the World Champ though!

I was right

Nurudinov went 190+235.

Dolega bombed again

Aramnau was a no show as well which is a shame considering how young he is and the amount of talent he has.

Here's hoping for a good showing from the supers later on.

Dolega busted an ab muscle apparently.

Good result for Albegov in the supers. Udachyn bombed?!
