I usually watch all your videos but dont comment, but the production quality on this was insane!! This is the type of content weightlifting needs and deserves. More of this!!
Everyone especially in Indonesia need to watch this video. For me Rahmat is still the best 73kg lifter, even though Rizki is a gold medalist. But this is sport.
Yes! Most of what you've seen from our TH-cam channel over the last few months has been edited by him. He has a brilliant feel for story telling and understands weightlifting and TH-cam well!
@@InfKornZ Countries and their federations did everything in order to win a medal. So if one participant failed, there is another chance to win a medal. As I said that’s a competition. In fact everyone has high testosterone and quite difficult ego about power. Everyone is scared of sabotage and is feeling threaten by thrown doping controls. Another reason is that America, China, Korea and etc. belch too many athletes. So it is made for diversity.
I mean, wow, the quality and storytelling is amazing. I'm not even into powerlifting but quality imagery and ability to tell the story I do appreciate. Subbed.
I still don’t understand why Rahmat looked so exhausted during IWF 2024 especially. He was so powerful and energetic. Hope we see him do better next time.
Such an epic content! The soundtrack and editing, especially in the beginning of the video, gave me a nostalgia feeling like I was watching an 80s movie like “Bloodsport”
So grateful for this, thank you WH for producing docs like this. I was never interested in sport but have found a love for weightlifting thru WH and people like Zach Telander and the boys at Sika Strength. I’ve been so fully invested in this last Olympic quad. So grateful for content like and of this substantially high quality! Many thanks
You guys are creating such amazing content! Congratulations from a Master in Arts. Wocao!!! I watched this and I was craving some snatches really bad hahaha.
Such an inspiring video. I am 58 and my technique is appaling. But I love the movement and the sport. This is a very cool and inspiring video. Well bloody done guys.
It was already a solid story. And the production value and effort from WL House (which shows) has made the made this content even better. Solid watch. Keep it going!
this is an absolutely awful situation. If you are one of the two best in the world and reaching one of the biggest goals (an olympic medal) in your career depends on beating the other one of the best two in the world just as he happens to be born in the same part of the world you need to choose. Do you want to keep fighting an incredibly hard battle or simply approach another country, get a passport that will help you and your family in the future and go to the Olympics for sure... Any country would happily give a passport to an athlete THAT good, you can literally choose. If the rules are stupid one has to adapt.
This situation only occurred as punishment for the IWF by the IOC due to all the doping and corruption scandals. But of course it's the athletes who pay. It was stupid of the IWF to increase the weight classes to 10+10, knowing the IOC would never allow more medals for weightlifting, and knowing that would create dead categories and overly competitive ones, and force athletes to cut and bulk to non ideal categories in hopes of going to the Olympics. Combine condensing the sport down to 5+5 Olympic categories, and condensing teams down to 3+3 athletes, and only 10 Olympic qualification spots per category, it was always going to put a lot of athletes in rough spots. Especially the few nations who have more than one top 10 lifter in a category, or more than 3 top 10 lifters across all categories. Rio had 260 weightlifters competing, Paris just 122. The sport has essentially been cut in less than half, and people like Rahmat and half the Chinese team got screwed. Some speculate this was targeted, as China would have won several more medals, many gold, if 10+10 sets of medals were on offer. Which would have solidly won them the Olympics. With the next Olympics being in Los Angeles and weightlifting still thankfully being included, I expect the categories and teams will still be small in 2028, as the Americans will not want to risk losing on home soil. However the US now regularly has world record level lifters so they may want more weightlifting, not less.
You just dont understand, winning for Indonesia is what matters, cant speak for him but alot of Indos(including me) have/had dreams of making my country proud. also I think our gold medalists are better paid than most :)
@@hanifrais7043 I understand the concept but disagree with it. I am proud of a lot of things I have achieved. But not of things that just happen to be the way they are like my place of birth.
The stupidest part of the Olympic qualification system was limiting the number of athletes per country to just 6 for weightlifting and not for swimming, athletics etc.
Weightlifting was found to be extremely corrupt and was punished with smaller representation at the Olympics. Boxing was too and it was conducted outside the fed that used to run it. But yeah I have always thought it absurd just how many swimming and athletics events there are. Some athletes can win more medals at one Olympics than the greatest weightlifters of all time have in 20 year careers. Some say this is to benefit America and other western nations as they make most of their medals in those sports, while weightlifting is traditionally dominated by eastern nations, especially China since 2000 where they have won at least 5 golds every time. Athletics and swimming have 48 and 37 events, lots of opportunities to win multiple medals with the same athletes. Meanwhile sports that China traditionally dominates have far fewer events. Like Table Tennis only has five total events, and they won all five. Diving only has 8 events and they won all eight. Weightlifting at Paris had half the sports' weight classes represented, team size of 6, only ten qualifying spots, one lifter per country per category, and of course only one opportunity for any athlete to medal. China still won five golds, and the other five were split between five other nations. If we ever get the full sport 10+10 categories at the Olympics with a full team size of 10+10, China could win about three quarters of them. I don't see that being a possibility for the Los Angeles Olympics!
Great documentary about that upset. I remember watching it with my jaw on the ground. Do you know what I'd also really love to see, an interview of Ragmat talking about what was going through his head in that moment.
I hope Rahmat's back injury doesnt last for too long... I now see Rahmat and Rizky both as our nation rare gem, they need to communicate more so both of them can go out to the world and be champions in different classes. What I heard recently is that Rizky has decided to go to upper weight class which is 81 kg. I just hope both can win gold medals cause its just such a waste of talent if they keep competing in the same weight class.
This is the best stuff I've ever seen from this channel; you could tell within 2 minutes that the production level was off the charts. It helps too that the moment depicted was so... momentous. Slight problem however with the editing of the final interview, we can see it looping at 43:18 (and since some of the interview is presented before the credits, it means we get to see it... thrice!)
Great editing and camera work, would be really nice if we could hear the raw sound of the athletes' grunt and massive weight hitting the ground instead of loud music.
The camera talk at the start spoils too much It will be even more intense without the, rizki doing WR, rahmat getting silver, etc Its even more exciting to be immerse and wonder who would win Assuming this content is that good and will be seen by a lot of non weightlifting fan
Rahmat only take 30 Seconds Rest on His Second to Third Clean&Jerk Attempt cuz he dont want to lose the feel of 206kg Weight .Rahmat was Good on Endurance as he often did Back to Back Lift without anybody else Strategy on B Group .So dont blame Rahmat Ego cuz I'm sure it wasn't like that
i always thought what Rahmat was thinking . He looked like that he had some problem in his mind at that time. Does anyone know what happened with him ?
video was awesome I don't know if anyone knows the answer but why is it only 1 athlete per country per weight class at the Olympics in weight lifting. with other sports like track there can be multiple people from the same county. does the Olympic comity just not want to flood the field with 1 country since its much smaller fields than other events at the games?
Well That’s it in a nutshell. Allowing more nations to participate vs discriminating against more qualified athletes. Take your pick. I know what I’m choosing.
Watch more weightlifting www.weightliftinghouse.tv
Insane production quality over the last year
It's a huge goal of ours at WLHOUSE to bring the quality of weightlifting media to the level of other more popular sports. Slowly but surely we can get there. Thanks for the kind words!
Good lord, this is content for the ages. Athletes and fans alike will be watching this in fifty years, admiring the legends of the past.
The footage and editing of this video, is beyond what i have seen before.
legends in this sport followed by epic editing.
Thanks for this!!!
I usually watch all your videos but dont comment, but the production quality on this was insane!! This is the type of content weightlifting needs and deserves. More of this!!

Omg Nate really brought up the standard with this!!!!! Amazing video

Jika kamu ingin menang kamu harus cerdas. Strong cant maku you win 🎉
Saya setuju apa yg kamu katakan, tetap lah Rahmat yg terbaik dari yg baik❤
an in shape rahmat is unstoppable indeed! hope both of them can compete in LA 2028
Thank you for covering the achievements of Indonesia's best weightlifters with the best broadcast quality
to think nate used to mog commercial gyms and is now producing docs at this level is insane
I know what a downfall…
I think it was a compliment! @@WeightliftingHouse
@@howtosnatch I think you misunderstand my humour
@@WeightliftingHouse As soon as I posted that comment I knew I f'd up
The quality, editing and storytelling is amazing guys! Congrats!!
Yes! Most of what you've seen from our TH-cam channel over the last few months has been edited by him. He has a brilliant feel for story telling and understands weightlifting and TH-cam well!
seb you are a blessing to this sport, you are making a big difference, thank you man
Just completed, this atleast deserves 5m views
loading...
This is what weightlifting needs. Fantastic production. 🙏👊
This video is so good it would make you believe this battle could define the world
I'd gladly watch a 2 hour film like this. Best couple of competitions we've had over the last couple of months.
i love how two legends absolutely love thier sport and only one them going to make it.
The story behind these three at the last chance olympic qualifier was just beyond amazing
Best weightlifting content on TH-cam!!
Good Quality broadcast..thanks you dude..Good Job❤
BRUH this is the kind of content that'll get new fans into weightlifting
We hope so!
I think the stupidest part of this Olympic qualification system was the only one athlete per country per category rule
Correct
It makes sense because it's diabolical to go against anyone of your own nationality, that a competition after all
@@utopianland2705 there are 3 athletes allowed per nation per event in athletics so clearly the Olympics doesn’t agree with your sentiment
@@utopianland2705 why are you defending this dumb rule? It was allowed before tokyo, but suddenly it's "diabolical"?

Absolutely beautiful storytelling

The next olympics might see one of the Indonesians move to another country, same deal with the Armenians.

1 country per catagory is a good rule, other sports have it like rowing for example.
Specially when swimmers can enter 8 different events and win 6 of them. That is abuse.
I am so glad I subscribed to this channel.
Such an incredible story!
Better production quality than Netflix. Keeping it a buck on that
Nate and Seb, this is amazing content. Amazing
Great documentary about that upset. I remember watching it with my jaw on the ground. Do you know what I'd also really love to see, an interview of Ragmat talking about what was going through his head in that moment.
wonderful video, outstanding production
bro the quality of video is top notch
Amazing production. Brilliant !!
Excelente producción, nos hizo revivir ese momento. Muchas gracias y felicitaciones👏
BRAVO NATE AND WEIGHTLIFTING HOUSE!!
P.S. We need Suck Less merch stat!
This makes me cry:(
amazing doc
amazing.. nice filmed.. Good Job
13:20 I think he says maybe Rahmat, Shi Zhiyong or me :D
The music rocks, Seb...thank you
Amazing work
I’m glad it was Rizki. He’s the most humble of the three
This is why weightlifting is the most beautiful sport! Stay safe and stay strong my friend!
Indonesiaaaaaaa...!🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
I hope Rahmat's back injury doesnt last for too long... I now see Rahmat and Rizky both as our nation rare gem, they need to communicate more so both of them can go out to the world and be champions in different classes. What I heard recently is that Rizky has decided to go to upper weight class which is 81 kg.

This deserves an Emmy.

Incredible video, does anyone know the name of the song plying at 6:00
Incredible production and story❤❤
THIS IS AWESOME
Great editing and camera work, would be really nice if we could hear the raw sound of the athletes' grunt and massive weight hitting the ground instead of loud music.
Brilliant production
amazing.... great job guys..
Best competition ever in 73kg....
I cried because of the music and edit
Rahmat was a G for not waiting for last attempt
The camera talk at the start spoils too much
It will be even more intense without the, rizki doing WR, rahmat getting silver, etc
Its even more exciting to be immerse and wonder who would win
Assuming this content is that good and will be seen by a lot of non weightlifting fan
I like seeing the geek face when talking about what his passion about. The glow in his face, radiates
Rahmat is starting his villain arc.
There are no villains here. Just 2 superheroes who unfortunately had to face off to see who’d get to Mt Olympus.
Saya bangga sama Rahmat dan Rizky dan saya yakin siapapun dari mereka yang maju ke olimpiade pasti dpat medali emas...
It's insane that Indonesia has two greatest weightlifters in history but only one of them can participate in Olympic 😢
Rahmat only take 30 Seconds Rest on His Second to Third Clean&Jerk Attempt cuz he dont want to lose the feel of 206kg Weight .Rahmat was Good on Endurance as he often did Back to Back Lift without anybody else Strategy on B Group .So dont blame Rahmat Ego cuz I'm sure it wasn't like that
Please make Russian subtitles. I beg you!!
synth music top notch
i always thought what Rahmat was thinking . He looked like that he had some problem in his mind at that time.
Does anyone know what happened with him ?
While sitting down between 2nd and 3rd attempts he looked like got hit by a truck.
What's the song at 38:37 please ?
Why didn't you interviewed Rahmat and Shi in this doc?!
We interviewed Shi but it was allowed to be on camera. Rahmat it just didn’t work out unfortunately.
video was awesome I don't know if anyone knows the answer but why is it only 1 athlete per country per weight class at the Olympics in weight lifting. with other sports like track there can be multiple people from the same county. does the Olympic comity just not want to flood the field with 1 country since its much smaller fields than other events at the games?
That's exactly it; larger population countries would dominate.
Well That’s it in a nutshell. Allowing more nations to participate vs discriminating against more qualified athletes. Take your pick. I know what I’m choosing.
This video made me a fan of weightlifting 😂
despite already knowing the results, in-fact already knowing olympics result. Watching this seems very suspenseful, hahaha..
Video nya keren banget loh....
Any idea on the soundtrack?
When will u upload Paris olympic documentary
Not sure if I want to hit play because I know I will cry 😭😭😭😭😭
