IF he is retiring, he should go balls deep on social media in the style of Clarence. Legit workout videos, fun stuff, and 'day in the life' style vlogs. It would be an immense hit, though I realise this probably isn't too possible given... well, it is China.
For me it's because he's pretty much the closest to the perfect athlete I've ever seen. He has got it all: the legendary strength, the technique (as you mentioned), and execution in competition. He hasn't missed a single lift in comp since 2018 (!!!) and he never has even an ounce of doubt when he's on the platform.

Glad to see the Russian system is getting rebuilt, after Icarus and the like they have really struggled to maintain their results, especially within their doping system. Not only that but there's far more advanced drugs that they may be missing out on now! Can't have that can we.

dude he is not elite in any way, if you put it in the correct MENs category, he is just a normal bloke lifting weights for some time, very average. A disgrace!
I feel like there should have been more discussion here about whether cannabis should even be on the banned list. I think it's ridiculous to be honest. Clearly it's a rule dreamt up by some old out of touch squares in suits.
it could be argued that it calms the nerves. Imagine in a sport like archery or shooting where you need to be super relaxed to not be shaky while doing your sport.
i really don't understand why everyone constantly feels the need to pit them against each other. they're both incredible, hard-working athletes who deserve the olympic spots they received. they're going to do great things in tokyo this summer.
I don't believe these guys take anything, just really strong and dedicated, the test must be wrong. Maybe a supplement spiked. What's so important about winning that you'd use drugs ?
To me, there is no defensible justification for a former cheater to be part of weightlifting's leadership. The length of their ban from the sport is irrelevant, there must be those with better character to serve in that role. Why, when we have such endemic corruption and deception in this sport, would we want to carry that legacy forward into future generations of the sport's leaders?
i dunno man. i have known people who were addicted to it and they'd walk around like zombies with weird eyes. and also they seem to want to convince everyone else to take it up too which i find a bit disturbing.

Athletes shouldn't be getting popped for smoking weed but if you know it's a banned substance and you get caught, I have zero sympathy for you.
As a pot-smoker and amateur weightlifter- I agree despite how much I love both lol.
While I think it's foolish to be testing for weed in the first place you are correct. They know its a banned substance...
@@jasonscheffler9813 its still dumb
