Meanwhile in Russia …
Looks like every each federal district held a weightlifting competition last week.
Here is Rinat Kireev (2014 Russian Championships Silver at 94kg) at what seems to be the “Volga Federal District” championship (Thanks Sergiy!).
In the Snatch he missed 180, made 180kg on his second, and missed 185kg on his third attempt.
He competed at 99kg bodyweight.
In the Clean & Jerk he went : 210, 220 and finally 226kg (which I think is a PR for him, but not sure).
Dear Gregor, Rinat Kireev is not 2014 Russian Champion at 94kg.
Champion of Russia-2014 is Adam Maligov. He is in the photo below, surrounded by the members of Chechen team at the Caucasus Games, 2014.
Wow, at about 94 kg he looks tiny, almost dwarfish in that picture!
in this competition, it weighs 99 kg
Thanks for the info and video Oleg!
Thanks, yea I already changed that mistake 🙂 Remembered it wrongly
WTF, there are people who make Chingiz look average-smallish!
Jesus Christ! Land of giants! Who are the big guys and what king of sport they are doing???
