As a guy who competed and had two 6 for 6 days in my life it is mind boggling to me that Reeves had four of them in a row at the highest level of competition. Good luck at Paris Olivia.
That would be a NO. China is always conservative with their athletes capabilities, only focusing on posting a total to win. Imagine if they cut them loose.
I wonder how much geo-politics matters in these team selection decisions. Like is China sending Liao Guifang a risk not just because she may be beaten, but beaten by the USA?
Super exciting weight class. Olivia reeves is just so unpredictable (in a good way), but at the same time, perhaps guifang could just pop off - i bet she could pull out some crazy numbers if she needed to qualify
Its still kind of crazy to me that the u.s. team gets to be coached by pyros dimas. I thought he would be coaching another greek dream team but I guess not
Honestly Guifang needs to improve her total if she wants to go to the Olympics. While she leads by 11kg. Olivia Reeves has totaled around 96% of her total. The lowest of any Chinese female lifter in comparison to the second ranked across all olympic categories. I wouldn't be surprised if we see Reeves, Toma or Dejomes take a stab at world record snatch (or a 270 total). I definitely expect Guifang to break her record total. Toma needs guifang not be selected if she wants to get a medal.
None of these so called powerhouse and eye candy in Europe will medal when guifang and reeves lift their minds out. They looked like amateurs against these reeves and guifang
I agree she has never clean and jerked 140 in competition. At Europeans this year she only managed a 127kg clean and jerk after missing 130 twice. She came 4th in the Clean and jerk (not including Olivia Reeves who couldn't medal at Europeans). Angie Dejomes, Olivia Reeves and Liao Guifang have all managed to hit 140 before (albeit Angie Dejomes has only made 140 once). Toma doesn't have a great shot at winning a medal unless Guifang isn't selected, or she fixes her clean and jerk.
These weight class breakdowns are the best
I like how Guifang smashes world records and she has the same enthusiasm as I when I'm sitting in a bus.
She and Pei Xinyi are kinda gangsta in that regard.
She ever so slightly smiled after setting the new clean-and-jerk world record. :)

These catagory breakdowns are so good!

Weightlifting House out here doing more for weightlifting than the IWF ever has

lol no. China isn't afraid of the US.
Gosh I really, really hope she goes though! She is my favorite female weightlifter to watch. I mean, her technique absolutely blows my mind.
Still learning and love the content and context. Killing it WH!
There are gonna be a ton of failed lifts in Thailand.
The work rate on these road to Paris videos recently 👏👏👏
My girl Vanessa getting a mention makes my heart flutter. Also, awesome thumbnail with Olivia lookin' like a badass Ms Cpt America.
Reeves vs Dajomes vs China vs PRK SUCH GREAT MATCHUPS
Hoping ranks no. 4 & 5 make it challenging.
Amazing content ❤
Great content, ty😊

Misarendino gets too much coverage for someone that isnt in the top 10
Its still kind of crazy to me that the u.s. team gets to be coached by pyros dimas. I thought he would be coaching another greek dream team but I guess not
6:29 yet y'all wrote CHN ?
Unfortunate error, but at least it was not when showing a Taiwanese lifter😅
@@Tesswrench111 PH also has problems with CHN now.
videos are great but why does the text frequently not match the video. Does the person editing this not know who the athletes are?
Just a lot of editing and a few mistakes made. Apologies.
Philippines being labeled as China is messed up especially these days.
waaah the free content doesn’t meet my arbitrary standards
The U.S. will raise as much as it can, and China will raise as much as it wants
Loredana and Olivia are just ❤

WH gear is still the best looking out there. So clean.
Always pulling for Olivia, but really hope Giulia can perform well. She’s a beast.
Beast in where? Rank no.14 come on now. She’s only beast for IG post. No more no less.
Giulia made me vomit. It's not beauty pageant.
Reeves baby! Let's go!!!
You mean Kate Vibert former world champion not ex-world champion.
dont forget team north korea is equivalently stronger if not slightky stronger than reeves and guifang.
Yeah, they're shaking
🏋🥇🏋🥈🏋🥉
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
For the first minute of this video I was wondering why they were showing Chinese men
Bahahahah
guys but Liao Guifang has mustache...
Ew
I dont think Toma can be a top contender as long as she has the Toma shuffle in her jerk.
