as a powerlifter I was made fun of due to knee wraps, well the olympic lifters are wearing much more equipment with the knee wraps, the leggings, the long sleeve tight shirt, belt, wrist wraps, my goodness, the old lifters in the day such as Naim wore a thin belt and a wrestling suits, what a difference
Does anybody know if Iran’s Ali Hashemi has retired? Haven’t seen him since he bombed at the Olympics. Had a pretty successful career with 2 world titles to his credit.

Djuraev is very below his level, in the Olympics being younger he lifted a lot more, I don't know if being in the super heavyweights for a long time and then going down will have affected him a lot.
He was down 18 kg from his 109 best total at this year’s worlds, did a couple more at Asia games a couple weeks later. For someone who lost 17 kg body weight in a matter of a few months that wasn’t bad. The big question is how much the next 7 kg of body weight loss will affect him. Akbar is already pretty lean. I can still see him getting silver in Paris tho.
@@johndoherty-hh2ck I totally agree with you, and seeing him lose 7kg but I don't know how much it could affect him, I know that Akbar is very strong but I am worried that the Olympics are coming and I don't see him as well prepared as in the previous Olympics, I would like to see him with the gold on his neck since I am a big admirer of this boy, let's wait how things turn out because China is sweeping everything

3 weeks after this at WWC, Gigachad at 100kg BW won -109 w/ 418 total… crazy!

RUSLAN NURUDINOV IS A GREAT LEGEND ❤💪🦾👍
When you have the better cl&jk you bat in the bottom of the ninth as we say in American baseball. Nuridinov did and flies out to deep centerfield.

How are these guys hitting such low numbers? Compared to lower divisons
Not an Olympic category, so the best have moved up to 109+ or down to 102.

Crazy weight being thrown around. Why aren’t gloves or wrist wrap’s allowed in competitions?
I’ve always wondered why they weren’t .
Gloves get in the way and would make gripping the bar harder. They allow wrist wraps.
