175kg Snatch
Clean & Jerk (some videos here)
Lu Yong missed his first Clean & Jerk behind. Could’t stand up with 205kg on his second attempt either. Missed his 3rd also – out.
After making 209, Rostami misses his 2 attempts at 214kg.
Apti Aukhadov showed some excellent lifting. 210kg.
Adrian Zielinski (84.62kg), being lighter than Apti Aukhadov (84.75kg) managed to go in front of of him with 211kg. Equaling his 385kg total.
Tarek Abdelazim took a gutsy last attempt at 216kg but missed the Jerk.
So it was Zielinski who takes home the Gold medal.
As sporting in the chat said, “Zielinski is thanking jesus for making him piss before weigh ins.”

I still thought “Rezazdeh looks like a brown Santa Clause” should’ve been the quote of the evening.
Right completely forgot to mention this.
There needs to be a better tiebreaking system than bodyweight. What a terrible system – somehow a few grams of bodyweight gave Russian an advantage lifting over 200 kilos?
I think Kendrick deserves a ton of credit for finishing top 10 in both of his Olympic appearances given the state of weightlifting in the USA. Incredibly impressive.
So disappointed that Lu Yong and Rybakou bombed :(((((((((
Apti clean and jerks exactly like Klokov!
So bummed for all the bombs. Is there any footage of Apti’s successful C+Js?
Not yet…
