Meanwhile in Albania …
A month ago we saw that Hysen is still training.
Today Hysen Pulaku gets a 200kg Clean & Jerk. I think it was march 2012 when he first did that weight (video).
Update 27.09.2014: It was confirmed by the IWF to the Albanian federation that Hysen can lift at the Rio Olympics!
He also got close to a 205kg C&J
And to finish it off his sister also uploaded a video of what looks like a 227kg Front Squat.
Update: YouTube Version
I love hysen! I want moar!
his front squat improved lol. banned from olympics forever if im not mistaken but hopefully see him back in WWC soon
His ban ends today 🙂
does he can compete in international competitions?
He can. He just can’t help his team earn points for qualification, but he can’t bring home medals which in turn would mean more funding Albanian weightlifting I think.
From: http://www.iwf.net/doc/Special_ADP_rules_Olympics.pdf
In accordance with the decision of the IWF Executive Board, any athlete who is found by the IOC to have committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) during the Olympic Games is not eligible to participate in any subsequent Olympic Games. Such athlete, following the conclusion of his/her period of ineligibility, may participate in any IWF Olympic Qualification Event, but will not earn any points for the Qualification Team Classification.
Thanks Gregor
I think we can all agree the 205 was barely missed, and 200 looks much easier than last years 200.
His legs are definitely stronger now. 205 used to be a grind for him to stand up with in C&J but he does it much more easily now.
