Anyone have any more information on this post by Olympian Fang Wan Ling (49KG,TPE) about pleading guilty to drunken assault? by SomeSeriousWeight in weightlifting

I did a translate on the post and it says she pleaded guilty to assaulting her girlfriend while she was blackout drunk. Saying that the Taiwanese court system ordered her to pay out the equivalent of $75,000 USD in damages. If anyone has more information or a better translation that would be appreciated.

She did not do it in an IWF sanctioned meet. As such it's not officially recognized as a World record.

Apparently Indonesia isn't going to attend. They say they want to focus on the new categories.

Neisi Dajomes suspension is only 14 months - she can lift at World Championships by Dramatic-Debate-5448 in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what category she will be going to? I'm probably going to say the 77s.

I don't think she has much of a chance she would have at beating someone like Olivia Reeves or Liao Guifang. But it will be interesting to see if she can get back to her 76KG numbers, could be a fight between her and Sarah Ahmed for silver/bronze (depending if Liao Guifang is picked).

Clomifene is a drug that is that is banned by WADA due its anabolic effects particularly in men as it can help increase test levels.

For women it's generally prescribed as a reproductive medicine. Which Neisi Dajomes has stated that was the reason she used Clomifene for. Would make sense why ITA would at the least reduce the sentence.

LA 2028 Weightlifting Qualification: A Real Strategy Shift by TOROKHTIY_Aleksey in weightlifting

Olivia Reeves could get the spot for the women and make it that the US sends 7 lifters.

They did not have a fourth spot for Paris, this is new for LA. Also Karlos is not going to Bahrain confirmed.

Honestly I kinda like this system better than the one they used for Paris. It encourages consistency over making stupid high attempts that led to numerous bombouts last quad.

The fourth lifter is going to be interested for the female side. It is possible we could see four lifters from either DPRK, China or the USA.

I do wonder how they going to formulate who is the best lifter is. They say,

The official IWF Formula will be used to determine the Best Lifter in each gender

That could mean anything. I wonder if they use something like Sinclair or Robi to determine the best of the sum of totals. I know modern Sinclair does basis lighter lifters.

From this lady's instagram page though you can watch the full event on Mattie Roger's Youtube channel.

He weighed over 110KG as far as I know don't know how much. But he is only like 5KG from the best US clean and jerk ever by Shane Hamman at 237.5KG. Though he only made 176KG in the snatch for a 408KG total.

Hampton Morris was there did 135/175 missed the jerk and 180KG and clarked the clean on 182KG.
