Meanwhile in Russia …
Artem Okulov Clean & Jerked 215kg.
This was the same day he did the 190kg (and 180kg x2) Hang Snatch at 88kg.
I am told that he wasn’t allowed to attempt 220kg that day.
Update: Finally here is the video.

So it’s a 100% sure that apti is a 94lifter now? I wonder what that 3kg loss will do with artems strenght, considering he is a 85kg lifter
I think it is confirmed.About that – 3 kg : it would do some damage but don’t forget that the world championships is still far away.He will be stronger then.Hopefully 🙂
Apti is not at 94kg, and it is unlikely he will be there this year. He is treating injuries. If he competes at all this year, it almost certainly at 85kg.
Yes,I’ve just heard that from Gregor. My mistake.
He is in wonderful shape.It’s a pity he’s not gonna start at the Euros.
Wouldn’t this be red-lighted since he didn’t have the weight motionless on his shoulders prior to commencing the jerk portion?
I made this “video” from still frames into a gif (sequence-> gif-> video). Because there are frames missing it looks like the bar never rested on his shoulders when in reality it did.
Now the video’s out .. lets quit watching clean and jerk videos. It can’t get any better than this. Max effort and he’s just doing every fucking thing right … technique, speed, power, timing, precision … can’t put it any other way: Disgustingly beautiful!
