Meanwhile in Iran …
Behdad Salimi Snatched 215kg in a competition between weightlifters in the national camp to determine the top 8 for the Asian Games.
I am told his lifts were:
- Snatch: 206, 212 and 215kg
- Clean & Jerk: 250, 260
Also Bahador Moulaei was seen limping off the platform with injury (195 + 245, x261).
Update: Bahador will probably be lifting at Asian Games (via).

Update: Bahador’s 245kg Clean & Jerk and 261kg Attempt
any video of the 260 clean and jerk yet?
I would have posted it if it was available.
good point…I just excited to see it. He’s typically a hit or miss clean and jerker and 260 sounds big for him.
So this isn’t count as a world record, right?
That’s right, this does not count as an official world record.
So any news from rest of the team?
nothing interesting, except 128+154=282 for Askari in 56kg and 172+212=384 for Rostami in 85kg. Molaei failed to lift 261 and got injured.
Who is the national team coach right now?
A guy named “Bahman Zare”
And what happend to Saeid Mohammadpourkarkarach? Will he compete again?
not this year. he is injured and left the camp few months ago. here is the final squad for the AG (and most probably the same team for the Worlds)
Askari (56). J. Behrouzi (69), Rostami and Taghian (85), Barari and Nasirshalal (105), Salimi and Molaei (+105), Molaei has to check with the doctors first.
we could see TWO 260+ clean and jerks soon from Iran. Amazing!
he announced that will compete next year in 105
Is Nassirshalal still/again on the team?
And is the plan to lift at both asian games and worlds?
It was a competition between weightlifters in national camp to determine the top 8 for the Asian Games.
Thanks for the info.
Bahador, noooooooooooooo!
Awesome. Only to attempts in the clean and jerk, because he doesn’t need more. 475 kg total is very strong. I am looking forward to see Salimi in November.
Thank you for Share my YouTube Video Channel Videos
