Here’s one of those crazy performances you see in world championships training halls.
Sohrab Moradi (94kg) snatching 185kg (4kg more than the gold medal at worlds) and Clean & Jerking 220kg (he did 230kg on another day too)!
He knew he couldn’t compete here, but he still wanted to show the world what he is capable of. His coach and teammates told me that these lifts are nothing special for him. He does those numbers every other day.
Thanks to Jirka Orsag for the clips!

So disappointed he wasn’t allowed to compete. 185 snatch like it’s nothing–that is some impressive lifting. Hope to see him at the Olympics next year (if he can qualify).

Is he suspended? Why can’t he compete?

His “retirement” period will finish only few months before the Olympics, there is only one tournament left for him (Iran Grand Prix) but IWF apparently will let him participate in Pan American Championship in Colombia to make him eligible.
