Meanwhile in Kazakhstan … at the 94kg session.
Aurimas Didzbalis from Lithuania Snatched 185kg in the 94kg session and tops it off with an awesome backflip.
This lift got him the Snatch Silver Medal. He was only surpassed by Vladimir Sedov who tied the Snatch World Record at 188kg.

He should have saved the jump…it made him tired on the clean and jerks:)
I just wonder about that salute at the end. Don’t want to sound hysterical or anything but my first impression when I saw it was that it’s for a nasty ideology. Hope not.
For me it rather looked like the old roman salute. Like Titus Pullo did it in the Rome : Yes Domina! 🙂
The salute you’re thinking of is done with the right arm.
I think he was waving at the judges with a sort of “my bad” gesture,
because the bar rolled pretty quickly off the front of the platform towards
them? If not, then just a plain wave at the judges.
Damn. Anti racism and ethnomasochim created a standard of an usual suspected racist, he’s white, bald, and strong, and also proud of being it. He scratchs his head, the way he walks, the way he salutes are analysed.It’s totally hysterical.
Amazing progress by him. His technique is under-par, but when he lifts at least we get a lot of entertainment 😛
