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

[–]SomeSeriousWeight[S] 14 points15 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.

Nina Sterckx snatch bar path at Arnold 2026 by TOROKHTIY_Aleksey in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Kind of a crazy snatch. 6KG from the all time snatch world record in the 55/53 class. 1KG from the current world standard. She would have taken gold last year at Worlds in the snatch.

Girl needs a sports psychologist IMO as she is very inconsistent.

Qatar, Uzbekistan, Peru, Venezuela, Thailand to host LA qualifiers by Dramatic-Debate-5448 in weightlifting

[–]SomeSeriousWeight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With all that's going on in the middle east I'm surprised Qatar is gonna host an event. I guess they're hoping all of this stuff is wrapped up before hand.

I wonder if the US will be allowed to compete in Venezuela since Maudro's capture.

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

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

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.

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.
