It does seem odd that this class, an Olympic class seems to be slightly underperforming compared to the 73s and 89s. I mean 2 of the 89s would be in the hunt in this class, and this is the only men’s category that hasn’t established any records, the original standards are still the target. Two of the top four finishers here are going to get screwed for Paris. Both Armenians and both Belorussians have totaled 390+. Tsikhantsou is probably safe he’s got 8 kg on his teammate. Sammy Gaspar has 396 and Karapetyan has 394 so whoever is 2nd after Thailand is really getting shafted.
Kinda hard to overperform when the jury is being fucking insane and calling every little thing a no lift. Not to mention the inconsistency between their calls and the judges. They have made it extra difficult to even get a total.
It would be interesting to know what kind of relationship Gasparyan and Karapetyan have. I mean they’re both on the national team and they see each other at training camps all the time if not actually living together at a permanent facility and they are each other’s main opponent in realizing a lifelong dream of competing in the Olympics. It’s not Liu Huanhua or Meso who is the biggest obstacle it’s the guy who they see all the time who speaks their language and who under ordinary circumstances would likely be a friend.
They are very close friends and have a very good relationship, weightlifting does not hinder them, let me say more, our Armenians are a very friendly nation and it is natural that sportsmen are also friendly.
@@timur_tm4750 Not amongst the populations I would say. Amongs the bouth and paid for traitors who are our plitical leaders, mabe so. Please try and tell me why you think Jewish expulsions have been a regular feature of hoistory. 100 expulsions in the last 1,000 years in Europe.
@@theweekendmasterswarrior990 The whole world is Europe now - a factor refleced in the tidal waves of immigrants washing acros the Continent from everywhere. It's like having hundreds of people coming to live in your house without your permission.
These guys need to do better research or stop using fuzzy memories for facts. The Iranian guy Tavakkoli he’s referring to making his international debut at 2000 Olympics and winning was a veteran of at least 4 internationals (Asian Games and Jr worlds between 97 and 2000. I still like your commentary Max but don’t you guys have laptops?
Maye Europe can extend all the way to Inida in the East and subsaharn Africa? That was the legitimate FEAR of Brexiteers regarding Turkish membershihp of the EU.
The American games were held in a Latin American country (don't remember which) that was considered too dangerous to travel to, so the U.S. lifters were allowed to compete in the European games, but their scores are measured against the American lifts (ie, they can't get on the podium here even if they lift the most)
Why is weightlifting federation not allowing Belarus athletes to represent their nations?? Belarus is not conducting any war, and even if it does, weightlifting shouldn't be politicized. Meanwhile, Israel athletes are allowed to carry the Israel flag while Israel is literally killing over 30,000 civilians. What a bunhc of nonsense sham.
Thank you very much for the content. I for one appreciate it so much! 🎉❤
For anyone wondering, they played Beethovens Ode to Joy at the medal ceremony. It's the European anthem.
Bo tak pomału was wynaradawiają.
GREAT LIFTING I Love Weightlifting House 🤩

A lot less than these guys. And I’m not the one referring to these guys as trash.

Protip for coaches, do not ever box your athlete's eardrums right before they have to balance 205kg overhead.
I didn't know Israel was in Europe. I will check the map.
Israel is very welcome in Europe.

Probably some of their neighbors in the Middle East are not as welcoming.

Wtf why did Wes pull out?
I was hyped for him but lately he's been disappointing on the big stages.

Congratulations on your lifts guys! Your explosiveness and power were incredible. Keep up the fantastic work! 💪🏼🫡

Why an American USA athlete is competing in a european championship?
The American games were held in a Latin American country (don't remember which) that was considered too dangerous to travel to, so the U.S. lifters were allowed to compete in the European games, but their scores are measured against the American lifts (ie, they can't get on the podium here even if they lift the most)
russia cannot participate due to war in ukraine.Israel on the other hand can...Mmm...Double standards
Trying to understand why they’re at the EUROPEAN champs… isn’t the promised land in Asia?
Why is weightlifting federation not allowing Belarus athletes to represent their nations?? Belarus is not conducting any war, and even if it does, weightlifting shouldn't be politicized. Meanwhile, Israel athletes are allowed to carry the Israel flag while Israel is literally killing over 30,000 civilians. What a bunhc of nonsense sham.
among all weight classes i find this one the least performing , 89 men do much more better by heaps
Fatkraken You might say that about all Olympic classes but these guys are outperforming the next heaviest class 109s non Olympic of course.
