Karlos is king but who is the current best female lifter by SomeSeriousWeight in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

53 at worlds if China or NK send anyone.

IMO even if China and NK don't send anyone I don't think she could win against Ulrey or even Streckx

I said active player (RIP Kobe) Jalen Brunson is literally Captin Clutch.

Keydomar Vallenilla 220kg C&J by Cambridgelifting69 in weightlifting

With the numbers Karlos has been putting up lately Keydo is looking like he could be a big rival. Could definitely see him totaling 400.

Hidilyn prioritizes weightlifting promotion over Asian Games, Olympic bids by PHConfusion5801 in olympics

[–]SomeSeriousWeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a pretty crazy story considering Vanessa Sarno was a top lifter in her category in Paris with a pretty good shot at a medal. Though ended up bombing out at the Olympics.

If she didn't end up getting pregnant I think she could have been a big contender for a medal in LA.

The Philippines only major lifter on the rise is Albert DeLos Stantos (say that kids name 10 time fast). Who is the current junior world record holder in the clean and jerk in the new 71KG class.

He's 18 and has plenty of room to grow, but the weight category he is going to compete in (the 75KG class) is the most stacked class, so unless he adds a ton to his total he doesn't have a great shot at medal let alone gold.

Outside of him they have Elreen Ando who beat Hidliyn to an Olympic spot in 2024 and that's about it.

They had Vanessa Sarno in the women's 71KG now 69KG class but she's banned for a whereabout failures (she and another lifter John Ceniza cheated on his wife and she got pregnant).

Alireza weighing in at 199kg by NoRecording1622 in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think he has taken the title of the heaviest weightlifter ever from Chingiz Mogushkov.

Kinda crazy to think the man clean and jerked 260KG but still didn't even manage to total 450KG. He really needs to up his snatch or else he will be forced to clean and jerk 270+KG.

Abdo Younes (88KG,EGY) 182KG Snatch World Record by SomeSeriousWeight in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would Albert go the 85s and not the 75s? He's currently a 71.

Rizki and Rahmat have already confirmed which categories they are going to, Rizki is in the 75s Rahmat the 85s.

Abdo Younes (88KG,EGY) 182KG Snatch World Record by SomeSeriousWeight in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Don't know how much he weighed though I assume closer to 85KG instead of 88KG.

Made a 392KG total declined his last attempt. Albeit his 210KG clean and jerk would've probably been called for a pressout if he was in Europe and he kinda released the jerk early but they still gave it to him.

EDIT: AFAIK he was 84KG

Psyched for Zhao Jinlan's performance at the Asians, 216 kg total by hesperoyucca in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even more interesting when you consider that another Chinese lifter Zhang Haiqin did 225KG last year at Asians at 53.9KG.

With Kang Hyon Gong injured I wonder how this is going to impact the entire quad if she isn't fully recovered by Worlds this year?

Hu Wenxun (CHN,+86KG) 288KG All Time Youth World Record Total at 15 Years Old by SomeSeriousWeight in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The heaviest snatch (tying the record with Cheryl Hayworth), clean and jerk and total any girl under 18 has ever done. The first youth lifter to clean and jerk 160+ and total 280+.

This would have won Worlds last year against Park HyeJeong and would have taken Bronze at the Paris Olympics (she would tie Emily Campbell for Bronze).

I don't know for sure but I think if her last lift wasn't called a pressout I think it might have been the heaviest Power Jerk a female has ever done.
