As a community though weightlifting has only itself to blame. Mismanagement and rampant doping has ruined the integrity of the sport and the IOC wants a product it can sell not one generating no views at best and scandals on the front page of the internet at worst. I would say none of this is really the fault of the lifters, but at the end of the day they are the ones taking the illegal substances, and sometimes the piper comes to call.
I'm so excited for this competition. The athletes look like are there to secure some spots on an Olympic team. I haven't seen Lesman Peredes compete in a while. And Giulia dyed her hair red. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Agree. They are all roid freaks and God know what other drugs they take. I have read the Chinese have developed a drugfor their lifters that is not found during drug testing. @@Shvabicu

To a novice, straps can definitely increase your load since they basically fix the bar to your hand and minimize grip slippage and bridges the gap between poor form and raw strength. Grip can be, especially regarding the snatch, one of the most difficult areas to master when a novice begins their weightlifting journey. To experts like all of these folks, the straps provide more secure grip, yes, but are mainly for maintaining the training of throwing around ultra heavy loads. Their form is virtually perfect, so what they aim to train is being able to add more load to their movements. The straps let them push past their limits slightly and touch repeatedly on heavy numbers without the issue of grip fatigue. When competing, they are only exerting themselves (and grip) for a few attempts and the weight/spacing/recovery is all calculated. However, grip can be a make or break for some lifters in competition.
Yes Theodor they were and they also hosted the 2019 Worlds at the time and had to suffer through the championships without their own lifters participating. Serious Pain.
Anybody know the times for the events? The IWF website doesn't have much, since it's in Thailand I think all events will happen at night in the US... any help?
Rob. 11 hrs difference between Thailand and US EST. Event start times range from 12am to 8 am on east coast. If you get the stream from WH they give you the correct time in your time zone.
@@johndoherty-hh2ck thanks! Great info, I’m thinking of getting the subscription and hope I can catch some of the events live!! Looks like can’t miss TV 🍿
He had a back injury and we haven't seen him back in his best shape yet. Last few comps he's only done 160 for singles in the training hall so a double with a failed rep in between looks to be an improvement
It feels like some balance has been restored to the universe with an international meet using Eleiko equipment. Seeing Europeans kitted out with ZKC was too much for these old eyes.
It should be the top athletes with the best totals should be going to the olympics. The politics on the backend ate unfortunate. No way Rizki is not an olympic caliber athlete that should be representing and competing at the games in Paris. Likely he will not be going be since Rahmat is at god level with his clean and jerk numbers.
The olympics is a country vs country competition. It makes sense that a country would only be able to send 1 athlete per category. However countries being limited to 3 is indeed bad.
Fun fact: the Asian koel bird is a parasitic species which places their eggs in the nests of other birds and when the chick hatches its bigger and eats the other chicks and then is basically fed and nurtured by another bird who thinks its its own chick. 🐣
I don’t want to be a naysayer but I’m concerned about how Shi is going to defeat Rahmat. The latter has been consistent and has been winning without much opposition.
@@thorthewolf8801 It’s looking even worse now. Shi is officially in the training hall and he was struggling with a 150kg snatch, but Rahmat easily did a 160kg snatch. I feel bad for Shi,it must feel bad seeing yourself get dethroned so badly.
@@johndoherty-hh2ck There’s footage of him in the Thailand training hall and he’s struggling with a 150kg snatch,he gets under it but doesn’t stand up. Then he does it again but he actually flops. The Chinese team around him look worried - it’s all on Instagram
Fan favourites,but I agree with you actually - they’re getting more exposure than people who are actually winning. I have never seen that happen in a sport before

This will only be my second competition ive watched, but all this commetary and build up has told me how much i need that WH subscription. Great work.
Holy fuck I’m so pumped for this World Cup, and it’s almost 100% down to the content WH have put out in the last few weeks haha
100%!
THIS FORMAT IS AMAZING
The bird trolling you is the Asian Koel 😆
Your commentry was a great hook, for what is to come. The notes on the screen like "keep watching" glued me!

the bird is koel, very noisy, very distinctive sound. We also have a lot of those here in Shenzhen...
This competition is about to be wild!
super psyched for this!!! Also, cool that you used music that echoed that bird sound!
Absolutely GOATED content Seb, thank you so much for what you do ❤
It’s afuckin crime that only one of the Indonesians can go to Paris. That bothers me as much as being squeezed on the weight categories.

I want to see190-220 from Lesman. It’s been much too long hermano.
I saw 200 in the video thumbnail and thought “Oh. Some heavy clean pulls. Cool.” 😂
Alright alright. You got me I'm buying a subscription
Great job. Seb between the training hall and the actual competition are you going to get any sleep?
No
@@WeightliftingHouse based
I gave Nino a double and a half on that 160 in the span of 20 seconds. Legit too hands didn’t leave bar like some guys call their “doubles”.
Training hall recaps are better than competition recaps. Change my mind.
Rahmat is a beast.
73’s be crazy, granted they’re basically maxing out, but they got the same weight loaded as the big boys lol.
Skinny guys lift heavy weights thanks to steriods.

75 Varbanov 225 jerk; Stoitchkov 75, 220kg.
Both Rahmat and Rizki seem to be on the taller side for 73s
5 '8 and 5 '9, respectively

That bird is a nightingale, man!
This dude is tall for his weight class. Its good to see you dont have to be super heavy for your height
Let’s go!!!
It’s lit 🎉
Wasn't Thailand the country who got suspended due to multiple doping violations mid 2010s?
Yes Theodor they were and they also hosted the 2019 Worlds at the time and had to suffer through the championships without their own lifters participating. Serious Pain.
Anyone know how I can watch in person in Phuket? Are there tickets?
Is the last Paris qualifying event? And why is there a world champs when its an Olympic year?

He catches ut way deep than nino that had practically doubled it w/o straps

Where can I find info on who is in which group?
eNoqfOu go to start book for Thailand comp at IWF site.
So this World Cup is going to be solely a fishing event for Shi Zhiyong, very unfortunate. Let's hope he atleast can catch some big fishies!
Wow! Sorry for the swear but my god that’s insane!
"Wow" is not a swear word (in my opinion)
It feels like some balance has been restored to the universe with an international meet using Eleiko equipment. Seeing Europeans kitted out with ZKC was too much for these old eyes.
Is it that much better? I assume it's much more expensive being Swedish vs Chinese.

It's strange some country hasn't offered him the same deal as Gor Minasian got. It's a guaranteed silver medal imo.
The olympics is a country vs country competition. It makes sense that a country would only be able to send 1 athlete per category. However countries being limited to 3 is indeed bad.
I don’t care about equity for less accomplished nations. I care about the best athletes being there.

Don't be concerned, he's not going to the Olympics. With Li Fabin and Gigachad (or maybe Li Dayin) they are good to go.
