I don't know how any American who follows sports and the Olympics doesn't have Olivia Reeves as their favorite athlete right now. Not only is she beautiful and always in positive spirits, she is a brick house; per pound, she has to be the strongest Olympian woman. She makes weights that men would struggle with look like there's no weight on the bar at all. Olivia Reeves is basically the Lasha Talakhadze of female weightlifters.
@@jmcsquared18 C'mon man that's just ridiculous. Li Wenwen's record in 89+ is 39kg over second place from the 2024 World Cup. I hope Reeves decimates the 71s for years to come but to compare her so far to Lasha is absurd.
All these ladies put in a tremendous effort, but I'd say Reeves dominated. There's something about her smile and her easy manner that makes her fun to watch. Love the way she'd often walk off the stage like she'd just lifted 30lb and not 130 😊
Reeves is so fun to watch. She seems so care-free even while lifting such enormous weight. If she has any fear or nervousness at all she's great at hiding it. So glad she's on the Olympic team.
Definitely one of the best sessions ever. Every one of these ladies showed amazing power and guts, but what Reeves did is on another level entirely. She may well end up being the Mary Lou Retton of women's weightlifting.
You mean "the Simone Biles of women's weightlifting". Mary Lou Retton has a total of 8 medals, of which 4 Gold - 1 Olympic and 3 American Cup. Simone Biles, the World record holder of most medals, has a total of 41 medals, of which 30 Gold - 4 Olympic, 23 World championships, 2 Pacific Rim Championships, and 1 American Cup. By the way, Wikipedia only lists 39 medals in total for her personal profile, but she has won 41. One American Cup Silver, 2013, and one American Cup Gold, 2015, that she won have been erroneously omitted from her Wikipedia personal profile.
@newmankidman5763 Well, l respect Simone very much as well. There is no doubt that she is one of the best athletes of all time. The reason l compared Olivia to Mary Lou Retton is because (like Retton) she has come on to the scene at a time when other countries are dominating a particular sport, and then she comes out of almost nowhere and smashes all the stereotypes about that sport and dominates athletes from the "superior" programs, and also does it with a sort of positive personal charisma that is extremely rare among world class atheletes. Mary Lou Retton was at least as famous for her smile and her charisma and being an awesome human being as she ever was for her considerable athletic performances. And l just think that Olivia has the potential to be similar to that due not only to her athletic talent and hard work but also because she has done so much work with her mental positivity.
The best category, Olivia is in another universe.. Giulia is beautiful but she is not in very good shape, it is probably an injury.. incredible competition, thank you 🤩
Yo that was some tension at the end. Way to go No Sleeves Reeves. That is absolutely amazing especially when you consider the US typically gets smoked in Olympic lifting. That was amazing to watch
I think the judges are not into the black sleeves I think that's why there's more calls on press outs with sleeves because they cannot distinguish between a shake and a press out
I know the snatch uses less weight than the clean and jerk- but, technically it is a lot harder lift- all the smaller muscles and muscle groups a competitor uses to balance the bar is incredible- remember when I was younger trying to correct a lift- to stop it from say going back- but the power to correct the position or movement of the bar just isn't there even though you know the bar has come forward over your head. The clean and jerk is quite technical also- but you get a bit of a pause between the two parts of that lift to correct your position
Olivia Reeves put 330 pounds _over her head_ in the C & J. I can only shit here and grin and shake my head in wonder that 20 years ago no one would have believed that any woman could do this, yet here Olivia is, and making it look easy. Incredible.
There are five weight categories, but each country is only allowed to send a maximum of three women across all weight classes to compete in Paris. To maximise their chances of the best result, it is in China’s best interest to send their three most dominant women. China has three other women who are head and shoulders above the rest in their weight class and are almost certain locks for gold, so it doesn’t make sense for them to send Liao, who is not dominant and might get beaten as she was here. North Korea are not eligible to compete in Paris due to non-compliance with anti-doping testing.
@@ironchin17 Thank you for that explanation! I wasn't aware there was a competitor limit vs the number of weight classes, you would think that a country should be able to send someone in each weight class who qualifies. re: PRK, I guess that is not surprising??
Could be because they pretty much have to lift at least their max to be able to make it into the top 10. So not much else to do. But that's just my guess.
They are not good enough simple. But the creator of the video uses them for clickbait bolshet coz simps will click on it asap 😂 it’s piss poor really. Its all hype bolshet 😂
Olivia Reeves is a great lifter but I think that it’s a bit suspicious how no one is being suspicious of her : A.defeating lifters that are 99% on juice B.adding 10% to her already extremely high back squat recently and she’s without doubt a seasoned lifter? And I actually like her lifting,I just try not to be clouded by bias👍🏿
They DO say the same;maybe you’re new to the channel? The Chinese weightlifter in this category gets the same scrutiny - I have personally seen such comments on this channel
Watch International Weightlifting www.weightliftinghouse.tv
Reeves is actually ridiculous. Her speed on the jerk is absolutely insane.
Found myself a new favourite.
i like the profile pic man

Jerk so quick it looks like the frame skips!
No Sleeves Reeves is built different 💪💪💪
Thank you for posting this! One of the most exciting sessions I've ever watched. Reeves's performance was out of this world.
Olivia Reeve's snatch was amazing - she had another 4-5 kilos in her at least.
Can't wait to see her at the olympics. What a beast
I'm glad I started watching weightlifting with Reeves' rise. How exciting!
What a JOY to see Olivia Reeves compete. It makes me proud to be an American in a time when my country is faltering.
That first safe by Schweizer was mad!
Add that 3rd snatch too. What a clutch!
One of the crazier saves I’ve seen. Super strong to be able to stabilize that.
this is the one i've been waiting for the most
You guys got me into the sport. Thank you!
Awesome coverage guys. Reeves is amazing - that ninja jerk, blink and you'll miss it. Epic.

@@davidtatro7457 , okay, I understand
Olivia Reeves is absolutely incredible!! Really shows how much effort she puts into keeping her head in the right place. So so admirable
The Smiling Assassin does it....well done guys for the video
I want to see more of Reeves, the attitude, the smiles, the lifts, she won me over, I will root for her in Paris!
Petition to give olivia reeves 4 attempts
Wow looking forward to watching Reeves at the Olympics
oh my world, Olivia's domination is just unbelievable
Great video as always 👍Thanks.
ever since i saw Reeves squat on ig ive been so impressed shes so insanely strong
You guys are just so good at announcing. Cheers from Canada!
The best category, Olivia is in another universe.. Giulia is beautiful but she is not in very good shape, it is probably an injury.. incredible competition, thank you 🤩
The two Giulias are the only reason I watch female weightlifting… and Mihaela.
WOW Reeves looks awesome 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤙🏻
On Olivia second CJ she takes her sweater off patiently, folds it up and hands it to her coach
Go Olivia - you're awesome!
I commend them on resisting the urge of putting Guilia as the thumbnail
Yo that was some tension at the end. Way to go No Sleeves Reeves. That is absolutely amazing especially when you consider the US typically gets smoked in Olympic lifting. That was amazing to watch
Will Weightlifting House cover any Olympic competitions? Can you? Love your coverage.
Gracias por subirlo
A star is born!
Schweizer was prob going for 11th and knew that Liao Guifang isn’t going. That’s why she went for 132 at 59:20.
I think the judges are not into the black sleeves I think that's why there's more calls on press outs with sleeves because they cannot distinguish between a shake and a press out
Olivia Reeves in the legend in the making USA
Usa, Usa! Great to see🤛💪
Cuando una participante piensa que levantó lo mejor viene Olivia y las hace ver debiluchas, Olivia Reeves mi favorita 👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍
Her speed and technical excellence is shocking. She is a different lifter in less than a year. PRODIGY.
What an event!
Оливия Ривз приятно удивила. Супер результат и с запасом
❤️ Reeves, 🤞 for Olympics
Phyrros dimas!!!!!
Oh my god!!!!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🏋🏻♂️
Did Reeves just win the Olympic Games before it even started??
I know the snatch uses less weight than the clean and jerk- but, technically it is a lot harder lift- all the smaller muscles and muscle groups a competitor uses to balance the bar is incredible- remember when I was younger trying to correct a lift- to stop it from say going back- but the power to correct the position or movement of the bar just isn't there even though you know the bar has come forward over your head.

great looking sport. First i recall seeing it.
Great
Seb needs to stop jinxing people 🤣
I don’t remember what I said but I know it’s true
Would someone please explain why the CHN and PRK lifters would not be going to the Olympics? It looks like they placed 2nd and 3rd here.
There are five weight categories, but each country is only allowed to send a maximum of three women across all weight classes to compete in Paris. To maximise their chances of the best result, it is in China’s best interest to send their three most dominant women. China has three other women who are head and shoulders above the rest in their weight class and are almost certain locks for gold, so it doesn’t make sense for them to send Liao, who is not dominant and might get beaten as she was here.
North Korea are not eligible to compete in Paris due to non-compliance with anti-doping testing.

@@marzzz1 Yeah, it would be nice if countries could send one or even two lifters for each weight class, but this is what the IOC has decided
Awesome
24:40 ,How Missed Lift get 1 White Light ? Jury was drunk I guess
Reeves is something else ! Guifang is something else, too, but not in a legit way.
Why don`t "Weightlifting house" show the women 87 kg groupe? They put out W81 og W+87, but not W87 kg.
I feel so sorry for Mrs Song !

Snatches are concluded. Can we get a graphic that doesn't look like minesweeper to give us decent information on current standings?
where is the love for Loredana?
Any update on the family of that North Korean lifter?🤔

Liao Guifang looks exactly like my mate Ivan.
What happened to Loredana Toma?? 😢😢😢
Giulia😍❤️
Merica!
how come the chinese competitor wasn't able to compete like at Riyad?
Doesn't matter how good you lift, when you have crooked judges!
Springpiston Crooked might be a little harsh. Incompetent most people would agree with you.
I always give 🇮🇱 a 0️⃣
Italian Lifter failed to get into Top 10 except Antonino Pizzolato and Sergio Massida ,I don't get it why they open on Their Max
Could be because they pretty much have to lift at least their max to be able to make it into the top 10. So not much else to do.
But that's just my guess.
They basically had to open on their max to have any chance of qualifying for the Olympics. They just aren't strong enough at the moment.
Hope the coaches learn their lesson for the next Olympic quad 😂!
They are not good enough simple. But the creator of the video uses them for clickbait bolshet coz simps will click on it asap 😂 it’s piss poor really. Its all hype bolshet 😂
No way that lift got 1 white@24:40.
💪❤
Colombian ❤❤😍😍🤤
I love the American one.she is the most beautiful,strongest and neatest
Lisa Herzinfarkt Schweizer
But why do they look far instead of athletic? I don't understand
finally loredana! haven't seen footage of her in years it feels like. Sadly, passed her prime now.
The judges are on drugs or something 😵💫
No drugs no lift .. n korea
Loredana Toma, no droids no lifts.

Olivia Reeves is a great lifter but I think that it’s a bit suspicious how no one is being suspicious of her :
A.defeating lifters that are 99% on juice
B.adding 10% to her already extremely high back squat recently and she’s without doubt a seasoned lifter?
And I actually like her lifting,I just try not to be clouded by bias👍🏿
Isn’t PED use an open secret by this point?
Leao is a dude in a women competition
I was thinkin the same lmao
Bru it’s just her haircut 😂
Reeves should lower her dose 💉
1st?
Olivia Reeves.
And where is all this bunch of humorous commenters, who call Kamilla Konotop a man? Why don't they say the same about Chinese athlete?
They DO say the same;maybe you’re new to the channel? The Chinese weightlifter in this category gets the same scrutiny - I have personally seen such comments on this channel
Why can’t you say the same on these bolshet Italian lifters that are pure hype but can’t win shiet on big stage 😂
Reevs definitely on drugs
Shhh! You're supposed to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" and blame everything on China.
Haaaaa-ha, sour grapes.
Nah, they cycle off them to pass tests for competition. For training, oh absolutely.
putting the winner in the video thumbnail is a spoiler
your comment is a spoiler :/
The person in the thumbnail is more random than that. This is the first session where that’s been the case.
1:15:34 did the video skip a frame or something, like WTF?!
That Chen huei dude really shouldnt compete with women
