Yep.. To bad his knee didnt hold up for C&J
he’s got only his coaches to blame.
He was pressing because his could not lock his elbows. He has to use longer grip for C&J similar to Oscar Figueroa.
You’re right that he couldn’t lock his elbows but I don’t think this had anything to do with his grip width. He was able to jerk as much as 255kg in comp (2014 Asian Games) and 261kg in training with the same grip width he uses now. I think the likely reason for the press outs in Rio was to do with his recent knee injury. There is a lot of force on the knee during the dipping phase of the jerk so perhaps this is affecting his ability to jerk.
That’s why he walked so confident for the plataform to lift that 216.
Wow!!! The greatest snatcher EVER!!! I hope he comes back and does it in competition too.
I look forward to Behdad, Lasha and Lovchev going toe-toe to in the future I hope they all stay healthy. 220kg will fall in the snatch.
Per some sources, IWF reduced the ban on Saeid Alihosseini from 12 to 8 years, he will be back soon. I assume people still remember him.
that would be incredible…huge super heavy weight battles. He was hitting legit totals as a junior. Of course he’ll have to compete “clean” like Behdad and Lashsa 😉
that will be amazing…he’s legit
I hope Albegov beat them all
he certainly could…I’d love to see Lovchev, Albegov, Salimi, Lasha and Moulaie in a head to head battle. Iran vs Russia vs Georgia
If he could just bring up his Jerk as well and stay healthy, he should be able to stay around for Tokyo 2020.
