- Sohrab Moradi (IRI) - 94kg Olympic champion-turned-coach, Sohrab Moradi, has shared some of his training lifts on his instagram story the last few weeks. His 215kg clean seems like he might be aiming at more than ‘staying strong.’
- Eileen Cikamatana (AUS -81kg) doubled 115kg in the snatch from the blocks. Eileen is the highest ranked athlete from Oceana and has her eyes set on Oceana’s first Olympic medal in years!
- A new crop of young Chinese talent emerges! Qian Feixiang hit 205kg at 92.89kg in bodyweight at the age of 21. Perhaps we’ll see him at the World Championships as Tian Tao’s replacement?
- Liu Huanhua (CHN) -102kg just hit a clean and jerk complex at 210kg consisting of one clean, one front squat, and two (yes two!) jerks. This is 90% of his own world record at 232kg. Can any of you hit that complex at 90%?
