This is the 2013 European Junior & U23 Weightlifting Championships resource page which I’ll update as soon as new info trickles in.
The event is being held from 22.09 to 28.09.2013 in Tallinn, Estonia. They purchased 14435kg of Eleiko equipment worth 180 000€. 23 sets of barbells for men and women, 23 competition platforms, plate holders, squat racks and magnesium barrels.
And the best part, “„After the championships, the best [Estonian] membership clubs will get their gyms furnished with the inventory.”
Update: Sa. 28.09 All session done. Thanks to the media department for providing an excellent stream.

U23 Men Start List Preview

Are they? They’re not on the start list…
Nvm, just found Clarence. Forgot he was U20 and not U23, but still can’t find Milko /-:
8th total in the 85 U23
Milko is not lifting, out due to a back injury
Bummer. Thanks for the update though.

Good on the Estonians, that’s how you help out your program, getting all the kids new toys. 🙂

Nope, that is U15 and U17 (where btw, Khetag will be lifting on Friday in the 85kg; and Rebekah Tiler in the 63+)
the right timetable is with startlist’s, they havent changed the one on the official site
Simon Brandhuber 315 entry total…and then he get a 301 total. Funny.
He posted 308
In 1995 I competed at the junior world champs in Poland and Asanidze won it with big new world records like 162,5 and 196 and nobody was even close to him (I was 15th HA! HA!). Now these guys -actually four of them- did the same or more at this european champs. I’m very impressed! Wonderful competition!
Nice memories, thanks for sharing. Today was the best so far. Let’s see what the next days bring.
I don’t really see the point of this U23 age group. Is it for athletes who aren’t ready for competing in senior at the age of 21? They are seem to be weaker then the juniors.
Clarence appeared strong but nervous. Maybe after long lay off from injury. At least he’s back.
Clarence always seems to me such a promising lifter – he’s so well built – and never fails to suprise me with his poor technique. It’s a big mistake of his coach not to correct it. I can’t believe it. He could be so much more.
It’s just sad to see all that hard work that doesn’t come out of him on competitions.
Congrats for the medal but he should have been the champion because he was the most talented in that lineup.All the best for him – hopefully he will be able to change that tech otherwise….
How would you modify his technique?
Well,of course it’s not simple but he should work on not to let the bar a sort of always slightly in front of him ,because it’s not on it’s proper place.When he cleans he doesn’t control the bar,he just let it drop on him and when he squats under it it’s usually a gamble where it is going to fall. His jerk also needs to be fixed.
It’s all sounds like I was a jerk criticizing his technique and maybe I am. But I respect him and always look forward to watch him. I think every time that this will be his big time and he gets his success after all.
It’s just not right that he doesn’t get the help he needs. I’m sorry if I was offending or stg but that’s my opinion.
I wish him a good luck though.
I taught Clarence was self coached. Which could be park of the issue.
Ahh,if that’s the case I understand.
as a side note, I’d like to say a big thank you to the Estonian Weightlifting Federation – the coverage of the lifting has been sublime. I mean HD livestreams, commentary – a big step up from the usual.
